Rose Torson

Rose Marie (Pfenninger) Torson, 77, died on Tuesday, March 21, 2023 at St. Catherine Hospital in Garden City, Kansas. She was born on August 9, 1945 to Alice (Boring) and Ralph Pfenninger at Modoc, Kansas. She was raised in western Scott County and attended school in Scott City. She married Tony Tyrone Torson on December 27, 1958 at Dighton, Kansas and to this union three children were born: Terry, Jerry and Jeanine.

For a number of years, Rose provided daycare for many families in the community. She held a special bond with many of these children who are now adults. Rose also worked as an Avon representative for several years, worked at Sublette Drug, and performed office duties as a volunteer at the Sublette Christian Church.

Rose was a loving mother, grandmother and great-grandmother, always quick to provide support and encouraging words. Her hobbies included a love of cross stitch and knitting. Many of Rose's creations found their way to county fairs where she placed high against the competition. Rose was also known for her irresistible tasty baked treats, especially her cinnamon rolls. Her grandchildren often begged for her delectable fried chicken.

She is survived by her children, Terry Torson and wife Becky of Marietta, GA, and Jeanine Biera and husband Josh of Garden City, KS; grandchildren, Philip Torson and wife Michell, Taylor Torson, Shanya Torson and fiancé Zach Frank, JaKayla Withington and husband Tate, Lincoln Biera, and Tylee Biera; great-grandchildren, Madison Torson, Zaiden Torson, Chandler Torson, and Kyrie Frank; a sister, Margaret Cook of Lakewood, CO; and a brother, Ralph Pfenninger and wife Billie Jean of Oklahoma City, OK.

She is preceded in death by her husband, Tony Torson; a son, Jerry Torson; her parents, Ralph and Alice Pfenninger; a brother, Walter Pfenninger; and brother-in-law, Bob Cook.
