She was born January 11, 1948 in Hays, the daughter of John and Cecilia (Kohl) Jacques.  In 1966, she graduated from Ellis High School, and on November 22, 1969, she was united in marriage to Alan Robert Pfeifer in Ellis. They celebrated nearly 55 years of marriage.  For over 25 years, Roselin sold home decor for Home Interior.  She earned her Associates Degree in occupational therapy from Barton County Community College in 2000, then worked as an occupational therapist at Via Christi Village and the Good Samaritan Society.  She was a member of St. Nicholas of Myra Catholic Church and the Daughters of Isabella Circle #254, and volunteered with Catholic Charities and the HaysMed Auxiliary.  Roselin was a talented seamstress, and she enjoyed making crafts of all kinds and attending craft fairs.  She had a generous heart and continually donated handmade items to charities and the hospital for fundraising events. Whether shopping or treasure hunting at thrift stores, Roselin was always thinking of others and looking for gifts to give to those she loved.
