Ramsey Funeral Home July 2018
Rebecca Elaine (Roggenbuck) Groll
March 24, 1941 – July 6, 2018
Becky passed peacefully away July 6th at her home in a room filled with love.  
She was born in Harbor Beach Michigan to Leo and Clara Roggenbuck.  The 13th of 
14 children she was raised on a farm where she learned how to work hard and 
many other life lessons she carried with her throughout her life.  Her time 
spent in a one room elementary school house undoubtedly planted the seed for a 
lifelong passion for learning.  She loved her family with her full heart and 
was an incredible Mom, Sister, Aunt and Granny for both her grandkids and newly 
added great granddaughters.  She had a deep interest in different types of 
people and cultures causing her to have a wide array of friends left 
heartbroken by her passing.

She married Richard Groll on May 14th, 1960.  They had 4 children before 
relocating to Littleton Colorado in 1975 where they both worked hard and built 
a new life for them and their family.  During her working years she had jobs as 
a seamstress and wedding dress maker, retail clerk, accountant, mortgage 
assistant and full-time mom. She went to college at the age of 40 and was then 
able to add teacher at a community college to her resume.  She was an avid 
gardener, quilt maker, reader, caretaker and far ahead of her time in healthy 
eating and living.  When asked what to put on her certificate of death her 
children bemoaned that the title “Wonder Woman” was not allowed.  Never shying 
away from technology, she kept herself current up to last days and didn’t miss 
her daily Snapchat sessions to see what her grandkids were up to.  Her sense of 
humor and quick wit will be remembered by all that knew her well.  Although she 
was not able to control the poison that took over her healthy body she was able 
to decide when she would no longer give it her energy or fight. It was a 
crystal clear decision that her kids knew they must honor as she had prepared 
them well.  Her husband, Rich, passed away in 2011 after a long illness.  She 
took such wonderful care of him and her spirituality helped ease the sadness 
then and now.

She is survived by her daughter, Michelle Parce (Littleton, Colorado) who 
selflessly devoted herself to tending to her, sons, Steve Groll (Littleton, 
Colorado) and Tom Groll (Dodge Center, Minnesota), and daughter, Amy DeSanto 
(Pine River, Minnesota)  Her grandchildren: Jennifer, Stephanie, Megan, 
Samantha, Amanda, Charles, Andrew, Katie, Zoe, Miles and Nigel and great 
grandchildren: Aria, Piper and Layla Jane.

A Private Family memorial service will be held at a later date.  Becky 
requested memorials to Porter Hospice in lieu of flowers.  Published Ramsey
