On Jan. 4, 2023, Rosalie Virginia Baker passed away peacefully in her sleep. She was the daughter of Michael and Wilma (Murray) Kozemczak born on Aug. 27, 1938, in St. Louis, Mo.
Rosalie married Donald Baker on Sept. 1, 1956. They shared a love and respect for each other in their 66 years of marriage. They were blessed with two children Donald Jeffrey Baker and Cheryl Denise Baker.
