In Memory Of

Hilda E. Rosencrans, 100, of Glasgow, Montana

April 2, 1922 – June 13, 2022

Hilda Elaine Rosencrans, 100, of Glasgow, Montana passed away at Valley View Home on Monday June 13, 2022.

Hilda was born to Kon and Emma Fuhrman on April 2, 1922 in Glasgow, Montana.  She attended grade school at the Fuhrman School and graduated from Glasgow in 1940.

In 1945, she married Carl Swenson.  To this union were born three children: Karleen, Randy and Janet.  They lived on their farm Northeast of Larslan for thirteen happy years until Carl’s passing.  Later she married George Rosencrans and together they had a son, Hal “Gus” Rosencrans.

Hilda spent many of her working years bartending in Nashua, Glasgow, Circle and Opheim.  She purchased the Mint Bar in Opheim from Clarence and Maggie Anderson and ran it until 1985.  Throughout those years, she made many acquaintances and lifelong friends.

She was a hard worker and spent countless hours canning, butchering chickens, baking and gardening, just to name a few.  Some of her favorite past-times were embroidering, playing cards, crossword puzzles and fishing and in her later years she looked forward to Bingo nights at Nemont Manor where she resided for the last 19 years.

Preceding her in death are her husband, Carl Swenson; sisters, Theresa Sather, Helen Rennick and Imojean Helgeson; sons-in-law, Carl Nelson and Clancy Ibach; grandsons, Clint Nelson and Ryan Nelson; and George Rosencrans.

Survivors include her daughters, Karleen (Roger) Kleeman of Billings, Montana and Janet Ibach of Lockwood, Montana; sons Randy (Wanda) of Grenora, North Dakota and Hal “Gus” (Kelly) Rosencrans of Glentana; eleven grandchildren; thirty great-grandchildren; five great-great-grandchildren; sister, Adeline Mitchell of Glasgow, Montana; along with numerous nieces and nephews.

We will love and remember you always, Granny Gum!

Services will be held on Tuesday, June 28, 2022 at 3:30 p.m. at the Assembly of God Church in Glasgow, Montana with Pastor Tom Fauth officiating.  A reception at the church will follow the services.  Condolences may be left for the family at bellmortuarymontana.com.

    Many fond memories working for Carl and Hilda in my formative years on the farm. They were instrumental in forming my career. Hilda always joyful working hard and long hours to prepare complete dinners and pie for the crew. She was a tremendous cook. She was always smiling. A strong mother. Brought joy to many many people who most of which became friends. She will be missed.
