She was born August 27, 1918 at the Home Sweet Home Farm southeast of Strasburg, ND. She attended the Harding Rural School and the Strasburg High School, graduating in 1937. After teacher training at the Ellendale (ND) Normal School, she taught for two years at the Harding School. In 1939, she entered Central College in Pella, IA where she won honors in debate and history. She sang in the choir and was active in ministries to rural churches. After graduating in 1943, she taught at Newkirk High School in Hospers, IA. At Central she met her lifetime sweetheart, Arvin Roos of Littleton, CO. The pair were married at Strasburg Reformed Church on December 10, 1944. They moved to Las Vegas, NV where Augusta worked as an executive secretary at Sears. From 1946 to 1949 they lived in New Jersey, where Arvin studied at New Brunswick Theological Seminary. From 1949 on, Augusta was a vital participant with Arvin in his ministry. She taught Sunday school, directed children's choirs, led women's groups, and helped in many other ways. They served faithfully at churches in New York, Iowa, New Jersey, Colorado, Minnesota and North Dakota. During their Colorado years, Augusta resumed her teaching career, serving as a high school substitute. In 1976 she became a commissioned lay preacher in the Presbyterian Church USA, making her and Arvin's work an official team ministry. The couple retired and moved to Strasburg in 1985.
