"I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. Now there is in store for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on that day - and not only to me but also to all who have longed for his appearing," 2 Timothy 4:7,8.
The Rev. Carl Weber, pastor of Zion Lutheran Church at Macon, baptized her on Oct. 31, 1926, and the Rev. W. Borchardt, also of Zion, confirmed her on May 5, 1940. Rosie attended Franklin County Rural School District 75, also known as Lonesome Lane, through eighth grade. She then attended Franklin High School.
Rosie graduated in 1944 after she passed normal training. Soon after, she passed the state teacher exams, which qualified her to teach country school. Rosie started teaching in a school two miles north of Franklin and then taught two more years at District 25 located three miles north of Macon.
Rosie and Harold were married at Zion Lutheran Church. They started their married life on the farm where Harold had lived since spring 1936 and where they continued to reside until death.
Rosie was a loving wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother and friend. She loved the Lord and spent many hours studying the scriptures and enjoying hymns and song. She spent her life on the farm working beside her husband, living and teaching her faith, and encouraging life-long learning in all aspects of life.
Rosie was the family historian, an avid gardener, bird watcher and exceptional cook. She frequently reminded her grandchildren to save their coins and get a good education.
Rosie was a member of St. John's Lutheran Church in Wilcox where she had been active in the choir and Lutheran Women's Missionary League. She had faithfully served as a Sunday school teacher and Bible study leader throughout much of her life.
