Rose Davis Wenstrom was born in Sheridan on Aug. 16, 1965. She was born to an Englishwoman and a cowboy, which shaped her entire life.
Rose was raised in Sheridan and Parkman. She married Kevin Gaskin in 1986, who enlisted in the Navy. To this union two beautiful children, K.C. and Grace, were born.
They were divorced in 1999. Rose became a single mother. Those years were both difficult and wonderful. In 2007 she married Don Wenstrom, who changed her life forever. To their marriage Lilian Rose was born. She was the joy of their lives.
Life was focused on family and love from that time on. Rose loved being a stay-at-home mom and was able to return to that vocation when she married Don.
Rose was always dedicated to her children during her years as a single mother. She worked around baseball and volleyball so K.C. and Grace could participate. They traveled all over the country to games. Rose put together the Deaver Festival, which brought bands, arts, food and much excitement to the community.
Rose was diagnosed with cancer in early July. There were many trips to Billings for treatment. The cancer took her life on Sept. 6, 2014, at 2 p.m. at the age of 49. Her loved ones’ hearts are aching. Rose was a beloved mother and wife.
