Rosemary (Ocken) Wichert, 56, of Winlock, Wash., passed away peacefully Sept. 16, 2018, with her family by her side. She was born Nov. 30, 1961, in Salem, Ore., to Dale and Esther Ocken. The youngest of four children and the only girl. She was doted on by all. 

Rosemary was a loving mother and grandmother. Her children and grandchildren were her life and she would do anything for them. They made her proud and she was quick to tell you about them at anytime. 

She was a loving, caring, loyal, genuine and self-less human being who always put others’ needs before her own. Always quick with a smile and a laugh, she was a joy and a blessing to her family and many friends. Rosemary will be greatly missed and lovingly remembered.

She is survived by her daughter, Erica (Adam) Boehm; sons, Matthew (Karla) Wichert and Zachary Wichert; brothers, David and Timothy Ocken; and grandchildren, Kasen, Harper Rose and Jensen.

Rosemary is reunited in heaven with her parents, Dale and Esther Ocken; brother, Thomas Ocken; and numerous other family members.
