Walter and Rosalind made their home in Kahoka, Missouri, where she worked as a housekeeper in a local nursing home. Rosalind was a proud member of the Kahoka Presbyterian Church. She enjoyed singing, crocheting and puzzles. She was known to hide puzzle pieces so she could place the last piece. Rosalind had a sweet tooth and loved candy, especially Tootsie Rolls. She enjoyed the birds in her yard and would get mad at the squirrels for eating the bird seed she put out. Rosalind was also known for having a well-kept house.  Her greatest joy was attending the activities of her children and grandchildren, whom she loved dearly.
