She graduated from Eagle Grove High School in 1938. Rosetta was united in marriage to Elwood Eugene Middleton on June 15, 1941 at Asbury United Methodist Church in Webster City. Rosetta taught school the first year of their marriage. The couple made their home on the Middleton family farm south of Eagle Grove, where they built a home in 1962 and lived there until Elwood's death in 1992 and Rosetta moved to town. Rosetta was a member of the United Methodist Church in Eagle Grove and a church circle. She enjoyed her grandchildren, crocheting, reading, playing cards, and collecting Teddy Bears. Memorials may be left to the discretion of the family.
