Obituary of Joan Rosevear

1920 - 2009

After a short stay in hospital, 88-year old Joan Ernestine Rosevear went to be with the Lord in the wee hours of the morning of January 9, 2009.

Born in Cranbrook on June 29, 1920, Joan was active in many sports including curling and downhill skiing. She was a dedicated businesswoman who ran the Cranbrook Saddlery with her husband who she affectionately referred to as Chuck (1921-1980).

Together they worked and adopted two children (Brian 1962-2001) and Jennifer, and became a family. Devout parents, Joan and Chuck sacrificed to provide for their children. Over the years, Joan was blessed with four beautiful grandchildren and four great grandchildren. She loved her family and had many photos of her dear grandchildren on display.

Joan's family would like to express their gratitude to Dr. Scheibenstock and staff of the East Kootenay Regional Hospital for making Joan comfortable in her last moments.

A service will be held at Knox Presbyterian Church on Friday, January 16 at 2:00 pm.

There will be a private Internment (for family and close friends) that will take place at Westlawn Cemetery following the service.

A tea will be available to everyone in the church hall following the service.

In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Canadian Cancer Society, 19 - 9th Avenue South, Cranbrook, British Columbia, V1C 2L9.
