She graduated from Park High in St. Paul Park, and went to work for a time at Smead Manufacturing in Hastings. She was united in marriage to Donald N. Rohr on June 13, 1953 in Hastings. The couple made their home on a farm outside of Hastings and in 1964 moved to a farm north of Cannon Falls where they continued to make their home. After raising her children, she worked as a teacher’s aide at the Cannon Falls Schools, as well as the Hi-Quality Bakery. She loved cooking, gardening, playing cards, dancing and spending time with her family. She will be fondly remembered for her love and devotion to her husband and family.
