Rose Marie Paasch

Rose Marie (Oglesby) Paasch was the daughter of Arthur and Alfreda (Flach) Oglesby of Uxbridge Township - the 5th of 7 children. She attended Rural Uxbridge Township School. Rose married Ernest Paasch on May 4th, 1946. They made their home on a farm southwest of Wimbledon and in 1952 moved to a farm near Spiritwood Lake. They owned and operated a grain and dairy farm for many years. Rose was known as a hard worker. In addition to the usual household chores and caring for 5 children, Rose helped with milking, operating farm equipment and maintaining a large garden. She was also an excellent cook. Rose & Ernie retired from farming in 1976 and moved to Wimbledon where they operated The Korner Inn for a short time. She was employed by Wimbledon Implement and later for Wimbledon Public School where she was cook for several years. Rose was proud to have the school annual dedicated in her name upon retirement. After her husband's death in 1991, Rose stayed in Wimbledon until 1998 when she moved to Valley City. In 2000 she became a resident of the Special Care Unit of Eventide at Hi-Acres Manor in Jamestown, North Dakota. Rose will be remembered as a loving wife, mother, grandmother and care-giver to others - namely her mother Freda, Aunt Belle, and sister-in-law Annie, until their passing.
