Delores attended District 15 country school and helped raise her four brothers and one sister due to her mother's illness. On November 28, 1947, Delores was united in marriage to Arvid Rosing of Barnesville. They purchased a dairy farm near Audubon in November of 1950. Together they worked tirelessly milking cows and raising five children and one nephew. Delores went above and beyond as a home maker, farmer, mother, wife and grandmother.
