Obituary
Elaine Gertrude (Panning) Rose was born May 23, 1927, to Arthur and Gertrude (Kroells) Panning near Hamburg, Minnesota. She was baptized as an infant at Emanuel Lutheran Church in Hamburg. Elaine attended parochial school there and was confirmed in her faith, also at Emanuel, in 1941. She graduated from Central High School in Norwood-Young America, Minnesota.
On September 25, 1946, Elaine was united in marriage to Elmer Rose, son of Otto and Bertha (Bauer) Rose, by Pastor Wohlfeil at Emanuel Lutheran Church. She and Elmer farmed near Gaylord for 42 years, retiring in 1988, and remained living on the farm until 1995, when they moved to Dassel, Minnesota. In 1984, they purchased a lake home near Vergas, Minnesota, and spent many happy days there until the spring of 2008. In March of 2013, they moved to Cerenity Senior Care Marian in St. Paul, where they resided for the remainder of their lives. Elaine and Elmer shared 68 years of married life until Elmer passed away on August 24, 2015.
Elaine enjoyed visiting with family and friends, gardening, farming, quilting, puzzles, and countless hours of fishing from either the boat or dock at their lake home. Late in life, she discovered the joys of reading for pleasure, particularly the suspense novels of Mary Higgins Clark. Elaine was a member of St. John’s Lutheran Church at Mountville, near Gaylord, from her marriage until her death.
Elaine passed away on Thursday, July 9, 2020, at the Cerenity Senior Care Marian in St. Paul, Minnesota, at the age of 93 years. Blessed be her memory.

Elaine was one of my favorite “friend-moms” and I’ll always remember her for her droll wit and twinkle in her eye. Sending her family lots of love and prayers.
