That was her magic—
she could still see the sunset even on the darkest days.

Celebrating the Life of Roseann
With joyful memories and gratitude, we celebrate the life of Roseann, who brought light and love to everyone she met. Roseann was a vibrant, loving soul who appreciated every moment and embraced life with an unwavering enthusiasm.
A true nurturer at heart, she was a beacon of positivity, always seeing the good in people and making everyone feel like family. Roseann was always willing to help a person in need. She listened to people and really heard them, no matter what they looked like. She never judged a book by its cover; she always looked for the good in someone. She impacted so many lives in a positive way and was a light for anyone that met her.
She leaves behind an incredible legacy through her three children, whom she raised to be loving and compassionate individuals. Ethan, a talented multi-certified welder and now an accomplished pilot with certifications in Instrument, Commercial, and currently working on his CFI, continues to soar to new heights. Ashley, a seasoned Creative Director with experience at multiple Fortune 500 companies, has reached millions through her impactful work in print and digital marketing. She has now brought her expertise to Northstone, one of the largest luxury landscaping construction companies in Canada. William, who received a Navy Achievement Medal and served actively aboard the USS George H.W. Bush (CVN 77), is now a private contracted welder for nuclear submarines, dedicated to his craft. Roseann's unwavering support and guidance helped shape their remarkable paths, and her spirit lives on through them.
Roseann had a zest for life that was evident in everything she did. She loved live music and would start dancing the moment she heard it. Her artistic spirit shone through in her eye for design, her talent for playing the cello, and her skill in floral arrangements and interior design. Her meatballs were legendary, and she could strike up a conversation with anyone, making them feel at ease with her warm smile.
She had a unique ability to find joy in the simplest things, whether it was literally stopping to smell the lilacs, effortlessly doing cartwheels at 60, or enjoying yoga sessions and bike rides. She loved the outdoors, finding peace in nature through kayaking and hiking. Her love for nature was profound, and she cherished the tranquility it brought her.
Roseann adored her grandkids, Caden, Everett, and William, and she cherished her daughter-in-laws and son-in-laws, Matthew, Kathy, and Sara. She was incredibly proud to see Kathy become a flight attendant, Sara serve as an Aviation Ordnanceman in the Navy, and Matthew grow his landscaping construction company to what it is today. She also loved her grand fur babies, Hairy and Nimbus, as well as her pet fish named "Fish Fry."
In celebrating her life, we remember her not with sadness but with the hope and joy she brought into our lives. Her legacy of love, laughter, and boundless energy will continue to inspire us all. We invite you to join us in honoring her memory by living life to the fullest, just as she did every single day."

You will forever be remembered mom, in every smile and laugh we share ❤ We are because you were.

I have so many fond memories of the time we spent together as neighbors in Deerfield. Your mom's spirit and enthusiasm for life were as contagious as her warm smile and laughter. I am glad we reconnected for the 2 years I lived in Belmont.
I am so sorry you lost her so soon but her bright light will shine in all of you.

Roseann was as special to me as anyone in my life. Even though I ran into her and we chatted and promised each other we would have dinner one night. It truly saddens my heart that that day never happened. I was literally beyond grateful that we were going to pick up where we left off. God Speed my precious friend ♥️. Brandy’s mom ♥️
This quote is Roseann. She shined her brilliant, big, beautiful light living on earth. One of a kind! She took in strangers, always looked to be a helper, her love was enormous! I am so grateful and continue to be blessed because Roseann came into my life and stayed awhile. Life lessons, adventures like saving a baby, and tremendous amounts of love and laughter. My dearest friend and soul sister, Roseann, I will carry you in my heart forever.
"Let your light so shine before others, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven."
Rose Ann had a way of showing people how to enjoy the moment and live in the present and she will always be remembered for that special ability.
I am so sorry to hear about Roseann, when I read this tribute it brought tears to my eyes and the memories just flooded me. We grew up together in Deerfield and those are some of my fondest memories, Roseann was always so welcoming to us, her food was the best but most of all her personality - she was just an amazing person! Praying for you all during this time! 🩷
