Gloria Jeanette Rohlf

Gloria Jeanette Rohlf regretfully left us on November 10, 2015 at the tender age of 82 years with her children, grandchildren and loved ones by her side. Gloria was the 6th of 10 children born to Carl and Inga (Mell) Swanson on February 2, 1933 in Isanti, MN.  Gloria attended country school in Rush Point and then transferred to Rush City School where she graduated in 1951. Gloria worked as a Nursing Assistant and a filing clerk before meeting Sonny Rohlf; they wed on August 13, 1955.  This is where her work really began; they had one crazy son and five goofy daughters which were raised on a Rush City farm. After Sonny passed in 1983, she started working in the produce department at Rush City Foods, where she worked for 26 years.  The camaraderie and companionship is the one thing she greatly missed when she retired. The word “wonderful” fails in comparison; to the woman Gloria was to all who knew and loved her; her presence will greatly be missed!Gloria is survived by her children: Alan Rohlf, Betty Witte, Shirley Rohlf, Carol Rohlf, Missy Rohlf all of Rush City, and Mary Armstrong of Cambridge. She is also survived by her sisters: Delores Mold of Rush City and Arlys (Doug) Smith of Ramsey; sisters-in-law: Florence Swanson, DeDe Swanson both of Rush City and Lois Swanson of Forest Lake; brother-in-law: Bill Peterson of Harris; eight grandchildren; five great-grandchildren. Gloria was preceded in death by her husband: Sonny; son-in-law: Mark Witte; siblings: Marlo (Vivian) Swanson, Delbert Swanson, Ernie (Bonnie) Swanson, Verilyn Swanson, Violet (Gordy) Freedlund, Elaine Peterson and Larry Swanson; and a brother-in-law: Willard Mold. Reverend Laurie O’Shea will officiate a celebration of Gloria’s life on Saturday, November 14, 2015 at 11:00 AM at the First Evangelical Lutheran Church of Rush City.  A time of visitation and reviewal is planned for Friday evening from 4:00-7:00 PM at the Olson Funeral Chapel in Rush City and one hour prior to the service at church.
