Rosilind “Rosi” (Burns) Schroeder, daughter of the late Major Ross Burns and Eva (Hayes) Burns RNA, was born on July 16, 1950 in Simcoe, Ontario. As a military child Rosilind moved many times in her life. She attended Alma College and Brock University. Settling in Weston, Ontario, she married Dieter Schroeder on September 26, 1987 where they raised their children. Her last move, in 2017, was to Oshawa, Ontario.
Rosilind was an avid reader with a curious and creative mind. She was also a remarkably caring, generous, and compassionate person. She brought her brilliant brain, her compassionate heart, her silly and witty sense of humour, and her creative spark into the work she did as a Guider and eventually as a District Commissioner with Girl Guides of Canada.
Beloved wife of Dieter Schroeder, mother of Jessica (Chad), Trevor, and Ian (Kathryn) and bonus mother of Patrick (Jessica), grandma of Rylee, Avah, Owen, Marshall and Virginia, sister of Sharon (George) and Deborah (John), and aunt Rosi of George, Kayla, Gordon, Sonya, Doris, Beverly, Dale, Mike and Dave. Rosilind will be fondly remembered by all of those who loved her.
Rosilind passed away peacefully on November 8, 2024 surrounded by family at Lakeridge Hospital. She received kind and compassionate care from the ICU team.
Join us in remembrance on Sunday November 24 between 1 pm and 4 pm at The Centennial Building, 416 Centre St. South, Whitby, Ontario. Light refreshments will be served throughout and at 2:30 pm we will gather together to reflect, share memories, and sing one of her favourite camp songs.
