Rose was born September 13, 1925, the daughter of Jacob and Katie (Schneider) Selzler. She was raised and attended country school west of Strasburg. On October 7, 1946, she married Lawrence Weichel at St. Aloysius Catholic Church, rural Hague. Rose worked and raised her family on the farm until they retired and moved to Strasburg in 1984. She baby-sat for eight years. In her spare time she enjoyed cooking/baking and was known for her chocolate chip kuchen. She also enjoyed gardening, sewing, (especially baby blankets and doll blankets), painting dish towels, and playing cards, (especially pinochle). Rose loved coloring, always doing a beautiful job.
