Friendships were also made as Rosina and Wilmer traveled in the United States and abroad. Rosina helped plan many extension trips to Midwestern states. Rosina and Wilmer were always ready to travel to their children’s and grandchildren’s events to offer encouragement and share in their accomplishments. They looked forward to this very much. She was always willing to provide food for the many family and extended family gatherings.
In 1996, they moved from their farm to a home in Selby, and in 2007 to Bismarck. Rosina was a resident of Missouri Slope Lutheran Care Center at her passing in Feb. 10. She was a lovely person and will be dearly missed.
