It is with heavy hearts we announce that Rosemarie Baker of Melville, SK, passed away peacefully with family at her side on Sunday, March 12, 2023, at the age of 85 years.
Rosemarie Arthurs was born in the Melville hospital on September 15, 1937. She grew up in Dubuc, SK, and lived there until she married her husband, Len Baker. They lived in Regina and raised three children there, until moving to Alberta in the early ‘70s. Rosemarie resided and worked in Calgary for many years before moving back to Melville with her daughter in 2012.
As per Rosemarie’s wishes, there will be no funeral service. A family graveside service will be held at a later date. Donations in Rosemarie’s memory can be made to your local hospice, as this was a support service about which she was very passionate.
Like Rosemarie’s beloved elephants, we will never forget her and will carry her love and memory in our hearts forever.
Rosemarie was predeceased by husband Len Baker; son Glenn Baker; brother Jim (Marion) Arthurs; sister Melba (Ron) McAlpine; sister Annette (Brian) Beerling; brother Scott (Janet) Arthurs; and sister Cathy Arthurs.
She is survived by her daughter, Lesia (Mocha) Baker of Melville; son Mark (Pam) Baker of Calgary; sister Paulette (Gerry) Herperger of Regina; as well as many grandchildren, great-grandchildren, nieces, nephews and close family friends.
