Luella was born Sept. 27, 1904 in Minnewaukan Township, Ramsey County, ND, the daughter of Carl and Christina (Lee) Kjelberson. She was born on her grandfather's homestead. She spoke only Norwegian when she began her education at a nearby rural school, where later students learned to knit socks for World War I soldiers. On June 1, 1923, she graduated from Devils Lake High School, and then attended Mayville State Teacher's College, where she worked in the cafeteria for board and room. She taught at the Halle School near Devils Lake and at the Hinz, Willow Creek #1 and Norman #3 schools at Willow City.
She and Arthur Thaddeus Rothgarn met a country school box social and were married
in her parent's home in Devils Lake on Oct. 16, 1929. The couple resided west of Willow City. Mr. Rothgarn died April 24, 1981 but she continued to live on the farm until she and her daughter moved to Rugby in December 1997.
She enjoyed gardening, photography, and making aprons and quilt tops. She milked cows and even had a milk route when in high school.

She modeled her wedding dress during area centennial celebrations in the late 1980's. She played the piano by ear - any tune she heard she could play - and often entertained with her music or accompanied group singing. She collected rocks for her flower garden and treasured one foundation rock from Vernes Church at Devils Lake and a large flat one, nicknamed, Abraham, from her Grandma K's farm. She remembered planting potatoes in a Devils Lake area lake bottom and marveled at the Lake's rise in recent years. Throughout her life she carried a scar on her upper lip, the result of falling on a sharp baking powder can being used as a cookie cutter. She spoke fondly of her first mode of transportation - a buggy pulled by her horse, Nancy. She learned to drive her dad's new Chevrolet with side curtains while still in grade school. She often recalled her fianc/'s 1920's model Chrysler coupe with rumble seat and her grandmother's new 1910 Buick.
