Peacefully at Ed's House Hospice in Cobourg on September 23rd, 2024, Rosemary Rumsey (née Blair) died at 82 years of age. Beloved wife for 60 years of Charlie Rumsey. Loving mother of Sally Reinert (Bernie) and Charles Rumsey (Phoebe). Dear grandmother of Amy (Ryan) and Eric (Lindsay) and special great-grandmother of Ethan, Elise and Chloe Rose. Pre-deceased by her brother, Atholl Blair, and fondly remembered by her sister-in-law, Carolyn and family. Born in Northern Ireland, Rosemary emigrated to Canada with her parents in 1948. She lived a full life, enjoying time with family and friends. She was an avid reader with a passion for history and the outdoors, and she was not afraid to live and explore far from the beaten path. Thank you to Dr. Sabatini, to the nurses at Northumberland Hills Hospital and to the staff at Ed’s House for the exceptional and compassionate care provided to Rosemary and her family. No funeral at her request. If desired, donations may be made to Ed's House Northumberland Hospice Care Centre, in memory of Rosemary.
Sally, I am so deeply sorry for your loss. I will remember fondly your mom's wonderful smile and kindness. Walks with her along the wooded paths behind the house and rides in the old Jeep Chief. "what we once enjoyed we can never lose" may you and your family find strength and solace in the memories you share together.
Charlie, Sally, Chuck and families, we were sincerely saddened to learn of Rosey’s passing. Our deepest condolences go out to all of you. We were very honoured to hike with her in the rugged Sooke hills and truly enjoyed her laugh, upbeat spirit and sparkling eyes while staying at your Sooke River Cottage. Recalling all the conversations and meals while imbibing in those happy hours is a very special memory. You were so much more than neighbours for ten plus years, we truly became great friends. Thanks for the memories… Much love, Gary, Meredith and Pippa
