Rosemarie (Lohse) Myrdal passed away peacefully on October 11 at Lutheran Sunset Home in Grafton. She was born on May 20, 1929, in Minot, North Dakota to Harry and Olga (Dragge) Lohse. A child of the Great Depression, Rosemarie would describe her childhood as living in two worlds - one spent on the family’s ranch near Lorraine, North Dakota, working as her father’s cattleman assistant and enjoying a rugged, independent lifestyle, and the other in the more refined, intellectual, and cultured world of Fargo, where the family settled following the Great Depression. Rosemarie loved and flourished in both places in different ways, and these experiences shaped her immensely, gaining a deep appreciation for rural agrarian life, as well as a love of education, global matters, and civic engagement.
