Rose Anna (Klahs) Fiedler
January 17, 1916 - May 7, 2018

Rose Ann (Klahs) Fiedler, age 102, of Newell, Iowa, and formerly of Scranton, Iowa, died on May 7, 2018, at the Good Samaritan Society of Newell.

A daughter of Nicholas J. and Catharine M. (Lappe) Klahs, Rose “Rosella” Anna Fiedler was born on January 17, 1916. Baptized and confirmed at the Sts. Peter and Paul Catholic Church [now Holy Spirit Catholic Church] in Carroll, she grew up on a farm near Carroll, Iowa, with her brothers and sisters.

In 1930, Rose graduated from the 8th grade at the Sts. Peter and Paul Catholic School [now the Kuemper Catholic School] and from the high school in Carroll in 1934. Next, she worked at the hospital in Carroll and as a waitress before she married Elmer J. Fiedler on November 21, 1940, again at Sts. Peter and Paul Catholic Church in Carroll. The young couple moved to a farm near Scranton, Iowa, and farmed together as a team. They believed in hard work and doing things the natural way. The farm has been and still remains an organic farm. An avid gardener, Rose, also, loved dancing. Regrettably, in 1995, Rose lost her dear husband to a farming accident. She was the last living member of her generation of the Klahs family.

Those left to cherish her memories include many nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death by her parents, Nicholas and Catharine Klahs; her brothers, Joseph (Minnie and Grace) and Elmer (Myra) Klahs; her sisters: Marie (Jack) Kennar, Clara (Ray) Henkenius, and Leona (Fritz) Hager.

A Funeral Mass will be offered Wednesday, May 9, 2018, at 10:30 a.m. at St. Mary's Catholic Church in Storm Lake. Burial will follow at 2:00 p.m. at Mt. Olivet Cemetery in Carroll. Visitation will take place for one hour before the service at the church. The Fratzke & Jensen Funeral Home in Storm Lake is in charge of the arrangements.
