Rosemary, the daughter of Edward and Mathilda (Christenson) Logan, was born on August 9, 1926 in Benson, Minnesota. She was one of twelve children. On February 14, 1948, she married Curtis Erickson in Benson and became a stepmother to Duane Erickson. Curtis and Rosemary had two sons, Paul in 1950 and Robert in 1953. She had many jobs throughout her life but her favorite was being a mother and grandmother. Curtis and Rosemary enjoyed slow drives around town and through the country. She took great pride in her children and grandchildren and loved to bake, spend time with her family and visit her friends. Rosemary was an avid thrift store shopper and enjoyed a whiskey sour when her family snuck her uptown. Even though her family’s hearts are hurting, they are blessed she is in heaven with Curtis and her sons.

She is survived by her beloved identical twin sister, Rosabelle “Toots” Hensch of Willmar; grandchildren, Chris (Kerry) Erickson of Courtland, Mick (Kim) Erickson of Apple Valley, Andy (Kristi) Erickson of Oronoco, Ed (Laura) Erickson of Lake Crystal, Heather (Ryan) Zwaschka of Burnsville, Melisa (Jared) Morisset of Mankato, Josh (Jess) Erickson of Shakopee, Angie (Randy) Rustman of Lake Crystal, Jeff Erickson of Vernon Center, and Niki (Bob) Bunde of Lake Crystal; daughters in law, Kathy Erickson of Prior Lake and Val Erickson of Lake Crystal; and many great-grandchildren, great-great-grandchildren, and great-great-great-grandchildren.

She was preceded in death by her parents; husband, Curtis; sons, Duane, Paul and Robert; many siblings; and twin granddaughters.
