October 19, 1935. Went home to be with the Lord on April 11, 2021 at the age of 85, surrounded by her four sons.
Preceded in death by her parents, George and Thelma Christiansen, and her husband of 49 years, George Rogahn Sr. Dear sister of Peder (Carol), loving mother of George Jr. (Teri), James, Robert (Beth) and Douglas (Denise). Proud grandma to Jacob (Sara), Megan, Luke, Hannah, Caleb, Micah, Rebekah, Esther, Lydia and Joanna. Proud great grandma “Besta” to Aria.
Elin often shared how we are a new creation in Christ. She lived that out in many ways; she was a helper and a people person, always ready and willing to help anyone. She served at the welcome desk at Elmbrook for many years. She led Bible studies in her home, and at the senior living center where she resided for the last 14 years.
Elin was a loving wife, mother, grandmother, Besta, sister, aunt, friend, homemaker, bookkeeper, and Bible study leader who enjoyed spending time with her family, taking walks, reading, doing puzzles, and studying the family’s genealogy.
