April 21, 1937 — January 23, 2013
Rose Mary Rasmusson, 75, of rural Fergus Falls, died Wednesday, January 23, 2013, at PioneerCare in Fergus Falls, Minnesota.
She was born April 21, 1937, in Friberg Township, rural Fergus Falls, the daughter of Henry and Alida (Gilbertson) Budke. She was baptized and confirmed at Tonseth Lutheran Church, rural Erhard, and attended country school in Friberg Township. She then attended Fergus Falls High School.
On July 28, 1954, she married Donald Rasmusson at Foxhome Lutheran Church. Don was in the Army Signal Corps, serving in New Jersey and Hawaii. In 1956 the family returned to Carlisle Township to farm, and they have continued to make their home there.
