Rosann Marie Voigtlander's Obituary
Rosann Marie Voigtlander, age 77, passed away February 1, 2019 at Pleasant Valley Nursing Center in Sedan, KS.
Rosann was born July 28, 1941, in Winfield, KS to Otis and Marie (Reighley) Wells. She grew up in Winfield, KS and graduated from High School there in 1959. After High School, she went on to get her Nursing Certificate, which she would use for the rest of her life.
In 1973, Rosann married Howard Voigtlander in Winfield, KS. Upon marriage, they moved to their farm in Grenola, KS, and have spent 45 years there, raising 3 children. Rosann seemed to always be working, whether it be on the farm, or at a hospital or clinic as an RN. When it came to her kids and granddaughter though, work could not keep her away from the school programs, or the 4H animal shows. If her kids were involved, she was there to support them. She was also a devout Catholic, and always made sure her kids attended church every week, regardless of anything else that was going on.
Rosann is survived by her husband Howard, of the home.
