the eldest child of famed Captain Georg Johannes von Trapp and Maria Augusta (Kutschera) von Trapp, who inspired “The Sound of Music” — has died at age 93.

Her cause of death has not been revealed but an obituary noted that she passed away May 13 while surrounded by loved ones at a nursing home in Morrisville, Vermont. “Her kindness, generosity, and colorful spirit were legendary, and she had a positive impact on countless lives,” her obituary reads.

Rosmarie was born on Feb. 8, 1929, in a village on the outskirts of Salzburg, Austria. She was raised with seven older half-siblings — from her father’s widow — and two younger siblings in the family that was famously memorialized in the Broadway show and classic 1965 film “The Sound of Music.” The show tells the story of how her parents fell in love and escaped Austria as a family music group after her father was pressured to cooperate with the Nazis.

The family’s story was altered for the dramatic storyline and no character is meant to represent Rosmarie. Her family settled in the United States in 1938, first living in Pennsylvania and then settling in Vermont.
