Rosemarie Helen Voight was born May 6, 1936 in Spider Lake Township, Wisconsin, to Onni and Helen (Purtilo) Koskinen. She was raised in Spider Lake and Round Lake, Wisconsin, and graduated from Hayward High School. On July 16, 1952 she married Carl Voight in Duluth. While Carl was in the Air Force, they made their homes in Shreveport, Louisiana, in Germany for a year-and-a-half, and in San Antonio, TX. After Carl’s military service, they came back to Hayward to live, until moving to the Twin Cities in 1959. They moved to rural Isanti twenty-five years ago where they have since made their home. Rosemarie was a realtor for 50 years, beginning with Edina Reality and then with Turpen Realty in Isanti County. She was an active member of South Isanti Baptist Church. She loved working in her vegetable and flower gardens, trying new recipes, sewing, and reading. She found great joy sharing in the lives of her family, especially her 43 great grandchildren, and praying for them each daily.

I cant say enough about how much I enjoyed chatting with Rose. I met her at snap fitness and she shared some stories about her childhood and the love for her family. She will be deeply missed. Heaven gained an angel.
