Rose Gustafson Obituary
Rose followed the path of her three older sisters to St. Joseph's School of Nursing in St Paul. After becoming a registered nurse, Rose became a stewardess for Northwest Orient Airlines in Minneapolis. After seven memorable years, Rose left Northwest to marry Walter Gustafson. Rose retired from the state of Minnesota Department of Health after a long career inspecting nursing homes throughout the state.
In the early 1990s Rose moved to Sun City, Arizona to be close to her sister , Trudy and brother-in-law, Bill.
Rose was a patron of the arts in Minneapolis, St. Paul, Phoenix, and Sun City. Rose was gracious, kind, thoughtful, and talented. She was a true lady of a kind rarely seen. She will be missed.
Rose was preceded in death by her sisters: Margaret, Dorothy, and Trudy. She is survived by seven nephews and three nieces who wish to thank Iris, Vickie, and Sal who were so kind.
