After a long and courageous battle with her illness, Rosie Lenke

'Rosie' was born Rosaline Anna Summer on September 26, 1919 in

her husband, Howard, in Temple City, California on September 18, 
1949.  She and Howard moved to Frazier Park in 1951.

Howard and Rosie shared over 50 years of married life in Frazier 
Park.  During this time, Rosie was active in the Frazier Park 
Community Baptist Church for 25 years.  She served as Sunday School 
Secretary most of that time.  Later, Rosie attended the Church of 
Christ.  She was also active in Camp Fire Girls, Boy Scouts, P.T.A., 
Mothersingers, Trowel & Sceptre Club and the Greater Frazier Park 
Chamber of Commerce.  Rosie also served on the Kern County Election 
Board as an inspector of the Frazier Park precinct for over 30 years.  
Rosie will also be remembered for serving as the "Mayor of Fiesta 
Days" in 1984.

Rosie's survivors include her husband, Howard, her daughter, Ila 
Martin, Bakersfield, her son, Larry Lenke, Cedar Crest, New Mexico, 
her son, Mark Lenke, Frazier Park.  She also leaves eight 
grandchildren and nine great grandchildren.  In addition, she leaves 
so many dear friends and relatives.

Her granddaughter, Deena Kae Hager, Bakersfield, and her son Brice 
Gerald Lenke, preceded Rosie in death.

'Rosie's Corner' was a feature of The Mountain Enterprise for over 20 
years.  She wished to express her sincere thanks to all who enjoyed 
her 'Corner.'  If her contributions had brought positive thoughts, 
then her life was not in vain.  Her wish was that you carry on, look 
up, laugh, live and enjoy!

The family wishes to thank Dr. Young Park and staff, Dr. Mukhopadhyay 
and staff at the Comprehensive Blood and Cancer Center, R.N. Patty 
Newer, Tiffany Porter and everyone at Optimal Hospice for the care 
and kindness given to Rosie.

A special Memorial for Rosie Lenke will be held at a later date this 
month.  In lieu of flowers, please make a contribution to your 
favorite charity.

of me to be a happy one. Id like to leave an after-glow of smiles 
when life is done. Id like to leave an echo whispering softly down 
the ways, of happy times and laughing times and bright and sunny 
days. Id like the tears of those who grieve, to dry before the sun of 
Happy memories that I leave when life is done. Legacy.com
