Remembering Rebecca Lynn

A large turnout of family and friends gathered in Eden Prairie yesterday to honor the life of Rebecca Lynn Rolfsrud, 57, who died July 17.  She was the wife of Virgil Rolfsrud and the mother of three: Cherice, Aaron and Alexander.
The youngest of nine, (thus the perennial flower girl) she is remembered for her indomitable, mischievous spirit. She enjoyed her membership in the quirky Lady Bug social club and would have appreciated its tiny round insignia fixed to the funeral urn, above.
Becky faithfully maintained scrapbooks, her treasury was amended yesterday by a trove of additional memorabilia organized by family members. We'll present excerpts here from time to time.
Today's memorial service begins at 11 a.m. at the Washburn-McGreavy Home.
"Oh, look at the cute 4-year-old flower girl!" the caption reads.
"Who knew her feet hurt so bad that she would remember it for 44 years."
