Bob and Rose Ann farmed north of Clarkson for many years before moving to Howells to open the Prairie Schooner Inn restaurant. She later became a favored cook at Howells and then Schuyler schools. After retiring she had many requests for her bakery and passed the time filling those orders.
Rose Ann was a member of St. John of Nepomucene Catholic Church in Howells and the Altar Society. She enjoyed baking and dancing and was an excellent seamstress. Family was important to her and she loved spending time with her family and especially her grandkids. She was a devoted wife, mother, grandmother, sister and friend. In her own words she was “a jack of all trades, but master of none.”
