August 17, 1932 – January 2, 2025
It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of Leonard F. Rolsen, a devoted husband, loving father, cherished granddad (GD), great granddad and dear friend to many. Len passed away on January 2, 2025, at home, surrounded by his family.
Born on August 17, 1932, in Cincinnati, Ohio, Len lived a life defined by kindness, integrity, and loyalty. He received his undergraduate and master’s degrees from Xavier University in Cincinnati, Ohio. Len was employed by General Electric for 45 years, serving in various positions in Connecticut, Ohio, Singapore, and Texas. He retired as Vice President of Finance in 1999. He left a lasting impact on his work community and all who knew him.
He is survived by his loving wife: Arlene (Koch) of 70 years of marriage, children: Ken Rolsen (Nancy) and Karen Rolsen-Midlo. Additionally, Len leaves behind six grandchildren: Courtney Schroeder (Zach), Kristen Lundgren-Bybee (Kenny), John Lundgren (Alicia), Kennan, Karlen, Kaylen Rolsen and two great-grandchildren: Cooper and Jack Lundgren, along with numerous nephews and nieces who will carry his memories in their hearts.
Len found his greatest joy in his family, faith, and sports. His steadfast faith guided him throughout his life, and his devotion to his family and friends was exceptional. Len and Arlene recently renewed their wedding vows as they celebrated their 70th wedding anniversary. Whether enjoying a family gathering or passionately supporting his favorite team, Len’s warmth and generosity touched everyone around him.
Len was preceded in death by his parents Leonard B. and Marie Rolsen, and siblings Jack (Rita), James (Helen), Richard (Jean), and Marlene Frommling (Ronald).
A service to honor Len’s life will be held on Monday, January 20, 2025, at 10:00 am at St. Laurence Catholic Church in Sugar Land, Texas. Friends and family are invited to join in celebrating his remarkable life.
In lieu of flowers, the family suggests that donations be made to Tunnel to Towers (t2t.org) in Len’s name.
The family wants to extend gratitude to Silverado Hospice and Grand Living at Riverstone for their exceptional care and support.
Len will be greatly missed; however, his legacy of faith, love, and passion for life will live on in the hearts of all who knew him.
