Rosemarie Lewis

Rosemarie (Berg) Lewis was born in Lake City, Minnesota, on January 26, 1929. She died on January 16, 2024 at home surrounded by her children in Saint Louis Park, MN. Raised in Lake City, Minnesota, Rosemarie was one of seven siblings. As a teenager, her family moved to Red Wing, Minnesota, where she attended High School. After high school, she attended Winona Teachers College (now known as Winona State). At 21, she moved to Phoenix, AZ, where she met her beloved husband Glen Eugene Lewis. They were married on February 16, 1952, in Phoenix, where Glen was serving his country in the Air Force. Rosemarie was a beloved mother of 7 children. Her first daughter, Deborah, was born in 1953. Followed by Cathi in 1954, Glenna in 1957, Patricia in 1958, Nancy in 1960, Jacqueline in 1964, and John in 1965. She raised her family in the Detroit, Michigan Metro area. The family lived in several suburbs of Detroit, including Garden City. In 1977, they moved to the Minneapolis, MN metro area, where her last three children graduated from high school. She was a loving, caring, and committed wife, mother, grandmother ("Grandma" to her 10 grandchildren), and great-grandmother ("GG" to her 10 great-grandchildren). She enjoyed traveling, spending time with her family, and telling stories about her Grandchildren and great-grandchildren. She liked to sew, make clothes for her children(and their Barbies) and grandchildren. She played cards with her friends, and was an avid coffee drinker. Her home was always filled with the love of her many children and grandchildren. She loved to have a full house with her family on holidays (sometimes, with all these people, there was little room left, standing room only). In her later years, she greatly enjoyed video calls with her great-grandchildren. She always brought a smile to any baby or toddler's face. Rosemarie retired from FMC in Fridley, MN, in 1994 and then she and her husband, Glen moved back to Red Wing, MN, where she worked for a casino until she was 80. Then she retired again, this time for good. Rosemarie was preceded in death by her parents, Martin Hjalmer Berg and Mary Mildred Lena (DeWitt) Berg, her beloved husband, Glen Eugene Lewis, and her brothers Phalon Berg, Philip Berg, David Berg, and Keith Berg.
