Rose was born Sept. 2, 1942, in St. Cloud to Charles and Mary Lepinski. She was the youngest of 10 children and the only one to be born in a hospital. After graduating from Sauk Rapids schools, she became a licensed practical nurse. She married Donald Dohrmann April 10, 1964, at Trinity Lutheran Church in Sauk Rapids. They had four children, who Rose stayed at home to raise in the Popple Creek area near Foley. She enjoyed raising many animals with her family on their hobby farm. Rose had many hobbies including gardening, bingo, puzzles, crocheting, embroidery, and cooking and baking. She is known for her love of Elvis, tomato dumpling soup, being the first to send out a birthday card for a loved one, and her weekly visits with her beauticians. She is now home with her Lord and Savior.
She was preceded in death by her parents, husband Donald and seven siblings. Survivors include her siblings Carl Lepinski of Brooklyn Center and Annette Starr of Medford, Oregon. Survivors also include her children Sue (Ernie) Christen of Aitkin, Brenda (Jeff) Haus of Clear Lake, Barry (Erin) Dohrmann of Foley, and Brian (Rachelle) Dohrmann of Sauk Rapids as well as her seven grandchildren, Charlie and Trevor, Alyssa and Tyler, Beth and Laura, and Angel.
She will forever be remembered as a beloved sister, devoted wife, sweet mother, generous grandma, and loyal caregiver to many.
