ROSELLA CENETI BRENTLINGER F ebruary 6, 1915 – August 21, 2003 IDAHO FALLS, ID -- “Grandma Rosie” left her earthly ties to be with her Lord Jesus Christ, and her loved ones in heaven on August 21, 2003. Rosella was born February 6, 1915, in Drumright, Oklahoma. A year later, in 1916, she moved with her family to El Dorado, Kansas, where she grew up and met her high school sweetheart and husband of 49 years, Aaron Brentlinger. On May 24, 1936, Aaron and Rosella were married at 8:00 a.m., which allowed them to make their golfing tee time later that afternoon on their wedding day. Rosella was preceded in death by her husband, Aaron, her mother and father, George and Ceneti Anderson Sutton, and her five brothers and sisters, Gaynell, Dorothy, George, John, and Mary Elizabeth. She is survived by her two daughters, Judith Ann Baldwin and Nancy Lee Lawrence, along with her sons-in-law, Al Baldwin and Miles Lawrence, her grandchildren, David Baldwin, Dan Lawrence, Erin Liberty, granddaughter-in-law, Kamela Lawrence, and great-grandchildren, Chase Liberty, Parker Liberty, Kristin Lawrence and Kelli Lawrence. Rosella’s life was a testament of a lovely Christian woman who “walked the talk” of her faith in Jesus. She was a joy to be with and had a sense of humor that made everyone smile. She is known for her famous pies and Swiss twists. Rosella had so many friends who loved her and were an inspiration to her, which include Anita Moss, Wanda Morris, Virginia Traxler, Herm and Darlene Haefele, Lula Weldon, Harmon and Thelma Walker, Bill and Stella Norman, Kristi Gering, Phyllis Mills, along with Audra, Bill, and Holly from Idaho Home Health and many, many others from Kansas to California to Idaho. She will be missed, but her family looks forward to the day they will all be together again in heaven. Thank You all to those touched Grandma Rosie’s life here on earth, know she is smiling down on each and everyone of you. 1 Thessalonians 4:14 “For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so God will bring with Him those who sleep in Jesus.” Services will be held at 6 p.m. Friday, August 22, 2003, at the Idaho Falls First Church of the Nazarene, 1900 Grandview, with Pastor Les Moore officiating.
