Roscella was born June 3, 1937 to Royal and Thelma (Geiser) Snyder at Round Valley north of Broken Bow, Nebraska. They lived at East Weissert and Comstock in Nebraska. Rose graduated from Comstock High School. After graduation she went to Broken Bow and worked for Buzz & Betty at the Hobbler Café. The coffee men couldn’t remember her name, so they nicknamed her Rose and that stuck with her the rest of her life.
In June 1955, she married Don Baker, Sr and to this union four children were born. Christine, Don, Jr, Pamela, and Samuel. Later they were divorced, and the kids and Rose moved to Merna, Nebraska and they lived there until all the kids graduated from High School.
Rose moved to Broken Bow and worked at the Heritage Inn, Elks Club, and the Tumbleweed Café, a job she really enjoyed.
Rose is preceded in death by her parents Royal and Thelma Snyder, sister and brother-in-law Irene and Morris Fisher.
Rose is survived by children Christine Sittler of Mullen, Don (Jeanine) Baker of Brewster, Pamela (Cecil) Coons of Mullen, and Samuel (Sherry) Baker of North Platte, 11 grandchildren, 27 great grandchildren, one great-great grandchild, and one on the way, brothers and sister Darlene (Bert) Watson, Clifford (Suanne) Snyder, and Robert (Geri) Snyder.
