Resident of the Month:

The November spotlight focuses on Rosie Balzell, a resident of the Good Samaritan Center since September, 1970.

The daughter of Rudolph and Anna (Geitz) Rickleff, Rosie was born January 13, 1904 at Marquette and raised on a farm near Marquette, which was then called North McGregor. She attended the Pleasant Ridge Country School at Marquette.

In February, 1914 she married Amon Balzell. They lived for a time in rural Postville and then moved to a farm near Marquette. She loved gardening and canned everything. She also liked to sew and spend her winter afternoons making quilts.

The Balzells had three children, Alta, Alica and Raymond who died in World War II.

Rosie has six grandchildren and two great-grandchildren and enjoys all activities at the center.

NOTE: A photo of Amon and Rosie Balzell's gravestone can be seen on the IGPP, located in Frankville Cemetery, Winneshiek Co., Iowa. Her birth year on the stone is 1894 rather than 1904 as in the obit.
