Rosella Theresa "Rosie" Boyer

Rosella “Rosie” Theresa Boyer, age 81, passed away peacefully surrounded by her loving family on Tuesday, March 10, 2026, at Lakeside Health Care Center in Dassel, Minnesota.

Born on October 19, 1944, Rosie was the daughter of Victor and Aurelia Friedman. She grew up in Eden Valley and later married Richard Boyer on June 25, 1960. Together they shared 65 years of marriage and raised seven children in the Litchfield area.

A lifelong member of the Church of Our Lady of Manannah, Rosie kept her Bible close and found deep comfort in her faith. She cherished time with family and friends, took genuine interest in each person’s story, and delighted in hosting card games at her home. Her grandchildren and great-grandchildren brought her immeasurable joy. She will be remembered for her warm, contagious laugh, her compassionate heart, and the generous hugs she offered so freely to everyone she loved.

Rosie is survived by her husband Richard, her children Nancy Stanton, Sharon (Don) Welker, Tom Boyer, Michael (Ann) Boyer, John (Stacie) Boyer, and Rich (Angela) Boyer, her daughter-in-law Veronica Boyer, her brother Norb (Pat) Friedman, 14 grandchildren, and 24 great-grandchildren. She was preceded in death by her parents, her son Steven Boyer, three sisters, and two brothers.
