Rose Mae Baker, the daughter of John and Beatta (Wellik) Rayhons, was born December 29, 1930 on a farm northwest of Garner. She attended the rural schools of Garfield Township in Hancock County. Rose Mae then helped her family on the farm and worked at Northwestern Bell in Garner. On March 23, 1950 she was married to Darold Pletcher at St. Wenceslaus Catholic Church in Duncan. They lived in Corwith until 1957, when they moved to Garner. On November 14, 1982 Darold passed away. On June 1, 1985 she was married to Red Baker at St. Boniface Catholic Church. Rose Mae worked at Goodnature's, Winnebago Industries and owned and operated Rose's Resale Shop in Garner until her retirement in 2000. Her family and her faith were a very important part of her life. She enjoyed dancing, camping, cooking, gardening and her dog, Meiko.
She was a member of St. Boniface Catholic Church, Parish Society and the Garner Wa-Tan-Ye.
Rose Mae is survived by her husband, Red, of Garner; children, Lynn Pletcher of Sacramento, CA, LeAnn (George) Anderson of Belmond, Perry (Trish) Pletcher of Garner, Darla Pletcher of Garner, Brenda Stoner (fiance, Jim Andersen) of Iowa City and Brad (Joyce) Pletcher of Garner; step-children, Barbara (Randy) Helps of Grimes, Debra Baker of Urbandale, Mike Baker of Carlisle and Tim (Shari) Baker of Grimes; twelve grandchildren, Jesse Pletcher, Justin (Heather) Helin and their children, Katie and Jamin, Holly Anderson and her children, Ian, Olivia and Alex, Jamin (Holly) Anderson and their daughter, Gabrielle, Cody Fundermann, Ashley (Brett) Matern, Andrea Ohrt, Alexis Farley, Taylor Stoner, Lauren Stoner, Brandon (Melissa) Pletcher, Meagen Pletcher and Courtney Pletcher; eight step-grandchildren; three step great- grandchildren; a sister, Darlene Oldham of Dubuque; and many nieces and nephews.
She was preceded in death by her parents; husband, Darold; an infant daughter, Linda; grandson, Ryan; a brother, Leonard Rayhons; sisters-in-law, Emma Rayhons and Alice Rayhons; and a brother-in-law, Mike Oldham.
Rose was a dear woman. I will never forget all the fun we had camping together with Red, Rose, Joyce, Brad, Brandon, Meagen & Courtney. She had a pure heart and good stories by a campfire. She will be dearly missed.
