The family then moved to the Dry Ridge farm near Uniontown during the summer of 1949 in Bourbon County, Kansas. She attended Dry Ridge Grade School, a one room school for fourth and fifth grades.

She started teaching vocational home economics in Inman, Kansas in the fall of 1962 and continued teaching through the spring of 1967.

She married Robert Bartels on June 20, 1965, in Inman. They had two daughters, Rosetta Diane, born June 12, 1969, and Laura Clare, born October 25, 1980. Robert passed away on November 15, 2010.

While married, Rosetta helped found the Inman Museum, worked at the Inman Library, where she was on the library board and was an integral part of getting it moved to its current location. She was a member of the Hutchinson Kennel Club for over 20 years, the La Leche League for 50 years, and a member of St. Peter’s United Church of Christ.

She is survived by her two daughters, Laura Stevenson, Inman and Diane Bartels, Hutchinson and 4 grandchildren, Drake, Tristan, Honoria, and Gideon Stevenson.
