Roseann Ruth (Schroeder) Lemke

Roseann R. Lemke, age 80 of Marion, passed away at her home on Monday morning December 8, 2025.

Roseann Ruth (Schroeder) Lemke was born in Milwaukee on December 11, 1944 daughter to the late Earl and Dorothy (Rilling) Schroeder. Roseann attended Custer High School, Milwaukee, where she graduated in 1962. On May 16, 1964 she was united in marriage to Larry Lee Lemke in Milwaukee. Shortly after they were married, Larry was in a car accident that left him partially paralyzed. Despite this, Roseann honored their wedding vows and cared for Larry through the years. They lived on 76th street in Milwaukee for more than 30 years, until they moved to Marion in 1978. Roseann was happy-go-lucky, always loved to make people laugh and be the center of attention. She was a tough cookie, as well as very loving, a great wife, mother, grandmother and friend. She loved her dogs and will be greatly missed.
