We, the family of Rosanne Jane Bourgeois, regret to announce her passing on Tuesday, April 19, 2022, at the Cape Breton Regional Hospital, Sydney.
Born October 18, 1943, in Sydney, she was the daughter of the late John and Ann (MacIntyre) Lamond.
Roseanne began her career teaching for the Eskasoni School Board. She later switched to payroll administration for the Sydney wharf, and later, the New Waterford Hospital. Roseanne loved to travel, having been to most of Canada and the Eastern United States. Her more recent travels revolved around Celtic Colors festivals with her sister, Mary.
An avid card player, she would often be found at a tarabish table. Affectionately known as “Ma”, she was always there to offer support and advice to anyone in need.
Roseanne is survived by her son, Marcel (Laura Lee Gracie), Sydney; sisters, Mary Cutler, ON and Deborah (Edwin) Marlow, AB; brothers, Dennis, SK, Earle, ON, Kevin (Susan), St. Johns, NL and Terry (Sandy), SK; sister-in-law, Diane Lamond, NL; and cousin, Dennis (Jean) MacIntyre, Sydney.
Besides her parents, Roseanne was predeceased by her husband, Peter Bourgeois and brother, Jack.
A funeral service will be held at Sydney Memorial Chapel on Monday, April 25 at 11 a.m. with Rev. Dennis Lamey officiating. Interment will take place in Forest Haven Memorial Gardens.
Memorials may be made to a charity of choice.
