Rose H. Uhrich was born in Loyalton, near Roscoe, South Dakota, November 23, 1926 to Stan and Clara (Glatt) Uhrich. She grew up on the family farm and attended country school near her home. Rose then moved to Aberdeen and began working retail.

She married Frank J. Piatz on November 7, 1959 at Sacred Heart Catholic Church. They continued to make Aberdeen their home until Frank's job transferred them to Sioux Falls in 1987. They returned to Aberdeen after Frank's retirement to live out their retirement years.

Rose especially enjoyed being a homemaker and spending time with her family and grandchildren. She enjoyed babysitting them and also provided childcare in her home for other families.

Grateful for having shared in Rose's life are her daughter, Susan (Kevin) Dell of Aberdeen; two granddaughters, Sandra (Kevin) Pons of Minneapolis, MN and Jessica (Jared) Frach of Maple Grove, MN; two great-grandsons, Liam Pons and Jack Pons of Minneapolis, MN; two brothers, Larry Uhrich of Rio Rancho, New Mexico and Tom (Jean) Uhrich of Rapid City, SD; and two sisters, Eva Binfet of Cascade, IA and Jean (Don) Bertsch of Chandler, AZ.

Rose is preceded in death by her parents, husband Frank, her son Gary, and two sisters, Chris Binfet and Wallie Binfet.

Blessed be her memory.
