Summary: Phyllis Diane Rogstad, 69, of Bismarck, ND, passed away March 11, 2023 at her home surrounded by family. A Mass of Christian burial was held March 16, 2023, at Ascension Catholic Church, Bismarck. Phyllis was born May 27, 1953, in Bismarck, to Fred and Dorothy (Doerr) Zander. She graduated from Bismarck High School in 1971 and continued her education at Bismarck Junior College graduating with an associate degree. In May of 1977, Phyllis married her high school sweetheart, Myron Rogstad, at St. Anne’s Catholic Church in Bismarck. They moved southeast of Bismarck and together welcomed three beautiful children. Phyllis worked in the accounting department at Hedahl’s Inc. for 26 years until she retired in 2018. Phyllis was an avid gardener and baker and was incredibly creative. Her artistic talents could be seen in her numerous sewing projects, oil paintings, and any other crafts she was excited to try. She loved spending time in the Arizona sunshine, playing pinochle with friends and cooking for her family. But her greatest passion was spending time with her nine grandchildren. Phyllis never missed an opportunity to attend a football or a softball game, dance recital or swim meet or any other activity her grandkids were a part of. They were her greatest joy. Phyllis is survived by her husband, Myron Rogstad, of Bismarck; her children, David (Alicia) Rogstad, of Bismarck, Kristy (Doug) Kasper, of Rosemount, MN, and Casey (Katie) Rogstad, of Bismarck; and her nine grandchildren: Gracie, Jett, Ava, Ellie, Elliott, Eliza, Ainsley, Anders and Alise. She is also survived by her mother-in-law, Elvira Rogstad, of Bismarck, siblings, Karen (Irve) Wickham, Fred Zander, Brad (Karla) Zander, Bruce Zander, Mark Zander, and MaryEllen (Brad) Ereth; as well as Myron’s seven siblings and her many nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death by her parents, Fred and Dorothy Zander; sister, Susan Zander; father-in-law, Harold Rogstad; and sister-in-law, Louise Rogstad.
