September 27 1934 – February 6 résidant dans la province T-N pour le détail des funérailles
In the early hours of February 6th, 2024, wrapped in the warmth of her electric blanket and the loving embrace of her children, our mother Rosetta May Whalen completed her circle of life.
Born in Pool’s Cove Fortune Bay, September 27, 1934 to Philip and Lillian May, the second oldest of eight children.
Educated at Memorial University Parade Street campus in the early 1950s. A lifelong learner, she started her 26 year teaching career at age 17 in Hodges Cove and ended in Little Hearts Ease in 1991.
Predeceased by husband Harold (2002) daughter in law Gertie (2003), and childhood friend and late-life partner Eldred Bambury (2019).
Her children Harold Jr (Alma), Tom (Cathy), Dennis (Annette) and Daphne (Tom), and grandchildren Debbie, Deana, Daniel, Cody Cassidy, Spencer, Casey and Lenore, and special friend Rick Clarke are grateful for her loving kindness and will cherish the memories made over the years.
She will be missed by her surviving siblings, in-laws, nieces and nephews, neighbours, colleagues and the broad church community, and especially by her walking buddy Alma.
Special thanks to Danielle Forbes for her kindness and devotion to our mother, and to Melinda Goodwin BN RN and Dr Sarah Small for supporting mom and the family to enable us to care for mom at home.
We would like to thank all who have helped sustain us over the past seven months with your kind messages and gifts of food. Thank you to neighbours Maxine and Roy for ‘keeping the light on’ as you promised her.
