“Rosalind, Ros, Rossy, all names you may of heard her called, but Mom and Nan were the names she was most proud to be called.  She was the sweetest old lady you’d ever meet.  She was loved by all, outgoing was an understatement, friendly, she loved to help others, donating, always involved in the church. She loved to shop, a passion that has passed through generations.  Family was her whole world, but Saturday’s were reserved for “Phase 10” with the girls.  She was a generous lady, never had a bad word to say about anyone.  She truly was the best of the best when it came to a mother, grandmother, sister, wife, Everything.  She was the best.”

Funeral service will take place 3 p.m. on Saturday, May 20, 2023 at The Salvation Army – Crossroads Community Church, Clarenville with interment to follow at Clarenville Interdenominational Cemetery.
