She attended grade school at Brule Bottom and high school at Chamberlain High School. As a teenager, Rosie worked for Minnie Ritchie in Chamberlain. This is where Rosie learned the café business. During World War II, the Pickner family moved to Portland, OR where Rosie worked with her father at the shipyards as a welder. On November 10, 1946, Rosie was united in marriage to Emerald “Bud” Koster. They began their married life farming on the Allen Satterlee farm north of Chamberlain. Around 1960, Rosie opened the Northside Café in Chamberlain with her sister Margie. When Margie left for California, Rosie and Bud kept the café open and changed the name to “Rosebud Café”. In December 1963, they lost the café to a fire. Rosie returned to cooking and waitressing in area cafes until they moved to San Joaquin Valley, CA in 1966. While in California, Rosie worked at a cannery and Rosie, Bud, and 3 of their children enjoyed doing seasonal farm work on the weekends. The family returned to Fort Thompson in 1972 where Rosie has made her home ever since. Rosie operated a café in Fort Thompson until the early 1980’s and then began working at Casey’s Café and the Rainbow Café. Rosie’s family finally convinced her to retire when she was well into her 70’s. She taught us all so many things but the most important this is to always respect our Elders and love our children and especially how to cook. She will be greatly missed.
