MADISON - Rose Marie Schneider Strommen was born on July 9, 1926, to Adolph and Lena Schneider. While we tried to convince her on her 99th birthday that she should live to be 100, she was determined to see Jesus, her family and friends in Heaven. On October 17, 2025, at the age of 99 years, 3 months and 8 days she was ushered into the loving arms of her Lord and Savior.

Rose was born in rural Barneveld, Wis., the fourth of Adolph and Lena’s five children. She went to school in Hollandale, Wis., where she met and married LeVohn Strommen on July 5, 1942.

Rose and LeVohn had five children, Karen, LeVohn Jr. (Jay), Linford, Rob (Sheryl) and Todd (Cheryl); 12 grandchildren; 16 great-grandchildren; and three great-great-grandchildren.

Rose worked at Oscar Mayer for 31 years. She was a member of Hollandale Lutheran Church, East Madison Baptist Church and City Church throughout her lifetime. Rose loved serving the Lord and did so in many capacities: Sunday school teacher, Awana, choir, nursing home ministries, girl’s prison ministry, missions and serving the Laotian community. She fell in love with the people of Laos who were a part of the East Madison Baptist Church. With the help of a translator, she studied the Bible with them; shared with them who God is and His everlasting love for them. She shared the gift of salvation through faith in Jesus, and enjoyed visiting them in their homes to teach and support them in tangible ways.

Rose was preceded in death by her husband, “Vohn”; her daughter, Karen; and her daughter-in-law, Pam.

Survivors include her brother, Carl (Pat) Schneider; and sons, LeVohn (Jay), Linford, Rob (Sheryl) and Todd (Cheryl).

A memorial service will be held at ROSELAWN MEMORIAL PARK, 401 Femrite Drive, Monona, at 12 noon on Thursday, October 23, 2025. A visitation will take place at Roselawn from 11 a.m. until the time of the service on Thursday.
