Judith Ann Rosendahl,
81, of Westhope, ND
passed away peacefully
on Friday August 10, 2018
at Keepsake Kottage in
Wichita, KS.
Judy was born on
February 18, 1937 in
Westhope to Neil and
Clara (Rehn) Matteson.
Judy grew up and attend-
ed school in Westhope
where she graduated from
Westhope High School in
1954 as valedictorian.
Judy married Arlyn
Rosendahl on October 7,
1956 and they were
blessed with 3 children.
In 1963, they built a new
home on their farmstead.
Judy loved her life in
Westhope and on the farm
where she worked side-
by-side with Arlyn. She
enjoyed cooking and bak-
ing for her family and
friends, and her home
was always filled with
love and laughter. Judy
was so excited to become
a grandma, and the time
spent with her grandchil-
dren camping, fishing,
spending time at their
lake home and the farm
were some of the best
years of her life. She was
very active in her church
and loved sharing her del-
icious pies, buns, and hot
dishes. Her passion was
working with the church
youth.
Arlyn lovingly took care
of Judy all of her life
through her many health
issues, but when he no
longer could, she moved
to Kansas in 2015 to live
with her daughter and
son-in-law. She had many
great times while there
and everyone adored her.
In 2017, she moved into
Keepsake Kottage where
she received wonderful
care. Judy will be sadly
missed by her family and
friends, but our memories
will live on forever.
Judy is survived by
husband Arlyn of

of Souris, Vickie (Reidar)
Clausen of Haysville, KS,
