Monica Schloesser
June 4, 1952 ~ February 17, 2015
Monica June Langer was born June 4th, 1952 at St. John’s in Fargo, North Dakota. She was likely delivered by her future mother-in-law who was the head nurse of the delivery room. She was raised in Alice, North Dakota and spoke lovingly of her hometown throughout her life. She moved to Fargo at age four. She graduated from Shanley in 1970 and then entered nursing school.
She met Michael Schloesser in 1970 and married him July 27, 1973 at Holy Spirit. They spent the remainder of their youth as self-described hippies which ended with the birth of their first child.
She worked for twenty years as a nurse at Dakota Hospital on 4-North.
She got a degree in social work in 1988 and did her homework on the same table as her children. She enjoyed working with the geriatric population and started Silver Follies as a project for her degree.
Monica enjoyed rock and roll music and travelling with her husband and kids. She went to London, Rome, Istanbul, Greece, Prague, and Puerto Rico, and countless family vacations.
Monica died peacefully in her home surrounded by family. She is survived by her husband Michael Schloesser, three children Erin Schloesser, Erika Lovaas, Neil Schloesser, two grandkids Madison and Hunter Lovaas, and brother Gary Langer.
She is preceded in death by her parents Ernest and Beatrice Langer, brother Ron, and half- sister Pauline into heaven. Her final adventure began February 17.
Happy trails Mom.

Schlosser/Langer Family,
Both Sherry and I send our condolences to the family.
I have a lot of fond memories of cousin Monica; especially since she
was only 6 hours older than me. I never did think that was fair but birth labor starts when it wants to.
We are glad that Monica was able to be home with her family till the end. She always enjoyed her children and grandchildren. We know you all have a lot of fond memories, too. Lyle and Sherry.
Neil and family,
I am so sorry for your loss. I only had the pleasure of meeting Monica a handful of times at work, but I remember liking her sense of humor, and we’d chat about our favorite TV shows. She was a great lady and you are all in our thoughts and prayers.
RIP sweet lady. On behalf of the Gene Nygaard family we send our sincere sympathies,prayers for peace as you celebrate the life of your mother,grandma and precious wife.. Monica’s mother and father were my godparents. Bea and Ernie were very close to our family. I recall many good times in Fargo with Monica as our families shared meals,games and day long activities. Usually running around the house like “wild Indians”.
Ahhh…the good ole days where extended families ALWAYS had time to be together.
Our Prayers and Blessings.
