Her childhood was shaken when her parents split up, forcing her mother, Hilde, to move her and her sister Hella to a small apartment.
According to her daughter, Jeanette Lynch of Apple Valley, Rowden attended a Lutheran elementary school, where her faith took root, and began attending church after the family met a pastor who protected local Jews. The next years brought a move to the ghetto and the start of the war. While her sister received a visa and moved to England, Rowden had to quit school and work in a factory.
With the borders closed, Rowden and her mother "were basically trapped," Lynch said. The Gestapo moved Hilde to Theresienstadt, a concentration camp in Czechoslovakia, in , and Rowden was sent to Barthold, a work camp for people who were part Jewish. After several months there, she and some other women escaped when the guards weren't looking, bribing passersby in a carriage with money and cigarettes for a ride.
After walking miles in wooden shoes, Rowden developed a blister that became infected. The infection traveled up her leg and put her in the hospital. After accidentally revealing her Jewish background while under anesthesia, her nurse began withholding treatment and tried to harm her, but Rowden recovered and made it to Theresienstadt just after the Russians liberated the camp and saved her mother from a trip to the gas chambers.
Rowden and her mother spent a year in a displaced persons camp before taking a ship to the United States in She held several jobs in the early-childhood field, which was her passion, said her son, Floyd Nagler, of Prior Lake. Nagler said his mother's faith was "every common denominator in her life," and that her openness was unique.
Lynch said the war traumatized her mother and left her paranoid at times, but added she was a loving parent who made sacrifices for her children. Smith said that her grandmother read books to her and was "very into playing with kids on their level. Besides her daughter and son, Rowden is survived by four grandchildren. The family plans to hold a small ceremony next year.
