Rose Marie (Kubala) Maresh

Rose Marie Maresh passed away at her home in Wasilla, Alaska on April 15, 2017 surrounded by her children and loving sister. She was born in Houston, Texas on November 08, 1935. She married Bernard Maresh January 12, 1957 and moved to the Territory of Alaska. She often said she never imagined her "A city girl" moving to the outbacks of Alaska. They homesteaded in Kenai for many years, eventually moved to Anchorage, and later to Wasilla to raise their family. She loved sewing and crafting and for over 20 years had a booth at the Crafts Emporium Bazaar under the name 'Granny's Korner."

Later, after her family was raised she owned and operated the Lace Connection located in the Cottonwood Creek Mall. She was known to many as Mom, Grandma, Aunt Rosie, and Gummy Bear. She was known for her love of Vegas and you could always find her in the casino at the loudest table with the most la ughter. She was an excellent baker and was known for homemade breads and crescent rolls. She had a witty personality, great sense of humor, and a strong belief in helping family and friends. Her genuine full bellied laugh was contagious and brightened many days. She has left a big void in our lives, hearts, and will be forever missed.

She was preceded in death by her husband Bernard Maresh Sr. She is survived by her family, Bernard and Lorna Maresh, Annette Troseth, Rosalie and Dan Talbert, Dottie and Chad Miner, Chelle and Dave Tonsing, Daniel Maresh, and her sister Kathleen Traxinger. She also left behind 23 grandchildren and 25 great grandchildren, and numerous nieces and nephews.

Funeral Service will be held May 2, 2017 at 4 p.m at St. Michael’s in Palmer.
