Rose Marie Baker, age 93 of North Versailles, passed away peacefully surrounded by family on Saturday, July 22, 2023. Born November 26, 1929 in McKeesport, she was a daughter of the late Joseph and Josephine (Odoj) Plunko. Rose Marie earned an associate's degree from Robert Morris business school and worked at a credit union until she became a mom. She then spent the rest of her time taking care of her family and being an active member at St. John's Lutheran Church in North Versailles. She loved going to the cabin, making excellent meals and desserts from scratch, dressing sharp, and spending time with her family - especially her great grandkids. She will be missed dearly by her family and friends as she was very funny and admired for her strong character. Rose Marie was also preceded in death by her husband Wesley Clyde Baker and her brother Theodore Plunko. She is survived by her daughters Patricia L. (Carl) Pastore and Debra Jo (Eric) Pekala, both of Elizabeth Twp.; her grandchildren Kristy, Tara, and Macy; her great-grandchildren Emmett and Makiya; and also nieces and nephews.

Her family would like to express great appreciation to the staff at Grandview Estates in Elizabeth Township and the staff from Suncrest Hospice for all the care and love they showed Nani. www.bekavacfuneralhome.com
