Lloyd B. Rosten Age 78 Passed away on April 1, 2016 Born in Wildrose, ND on June 11, 1937. Preceded in death by his parents, Leonard and Bernice (Hagen) Rosten and brother, Allan Rosten. Survived by his wife of 58 years, Glorianne (Anne); daughter, Suzanne; brother, Bruce; aunt, Eva Hagen; several nieces, nephews, and cousins; and special Golden, Gracie. He graduated from Wildrose HS in 1955 and then briefly attended the Wahpeton School of Science. Lloyd returned to Wildrose and farmed with his dad and brother. On June 1, 1957, he and Glorianne Moellring were united in marriage at the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Wildrose. Lloyd was drafted into the US Army in 1961, and served 2 years, mostly at Ft. Hood, Texas. As a result, he has continued to be a longstanding member of the American Legion. He was also a current member of the NRA and the Pyrotechnics Guild Int’l. Upon Lloyd’s discharge from the Army, he and his spouse moved to St. Paul, MN. Lloyd spent his career working at Harvey Vogel Mfg., and became a quality-control inspector. Following his retirement, he and Glorianne were blessed to travel both in the US and overseas. In addition, Lloyd spent many happy times being his brother’s assistant in making fireworks – their 4th of July shows actually put Wildrose, ND on the map! Also, he very much enjoyed serving on a Saturday PM greeting team at EBC, Lino Lakes. Recently, Lloyd suffered from several difficult illnesses and was taken by the Lord before the final stages of pulmonary fibrosis. A special thanks to the wonderful response teams and also to family, friends, and neighbors whose prayers are sustaining us.
