(Nee Rowell)

Rosemary Jane

14/8/1948 - 19/8/2022

Beloved wife of Ross, mother of Justin and Stuart, step-mother of Nina and mother in law to Heather, Deborah and Keith. Loving sister to Margaret (Meg -dec), Virginia and Peter. Much loved “Granni” to 5 grand-children and aunt to 11 nieces and nephews.

Rosemary (Rosie) was a nurse/midwife/lactation consultant for more than 50 years. A highly respected, caring, giving and generous soul, she nursed at several hospitals in Melbourne and Canberra and made a wide range of enduring friendships among colleagues and new mothers alike. At times mischievous, she encouraged her nieces and nephews to be their own person.

Rosie will be missed by all her immediate and extended family, her colleagues and her extensive network of close friends. She left us far too early and we grieve for and remember her great capacity for love.

Please make a contribution to the “Clown Doctors” in lieu of flowers.
