Rosy was always a bright spot during my work days. Her infectious charm and easygoing attitude always managed to bring out a smile in me, even during the worst of moods. She was the kind of person that made you feel like you mattered, regardless of how well you knew her. The world has lost one of the good ones. My condolences towards the Tufts family.

Deepest Sympathy to all ,Rosie was one of a kind with a lovely personality she will be missed by many.
I met Roseanne many years ago in Penticton when she was first going out with Phil. I have always remembered her fondly and have never met anyone with more beautiful eyes. I am so sad to hear of her passing. My heart goes out to Phil and her girls. Rest in peace.
Sending our condolences, love and light to your family at this time. The few memories that I have of your family were fond ones in the Okanagan summers with my dad, Ted, and sister, Amanda. May you rest easy in peace.
Our sincere condolences to the Tufts and Lucksha families. You are in our hearts. I remember when Phil and Roseanne would visit my dad with Dolores when he was ill. Rest in peace
I would like to express my deepest sympathy to the Tufts and Luksha families. Roseanne and I were close friends growing up and we shared many fun times. I will treasure those memories. Rest in peace Roseanne.
Roseanne, you had the BEST laugh! And you made the best grilled cheese sandwiches in that little house in the orchard, we had some good belly laughs there.
Peace is yours now, and you will be missed by so many. You will live on through your beautiful girls, I hope your family knows that you are just a whisper away.
Phil and family, you are in my prayers.
God Bless.
My deepest sympathies to your family.

Dear Marley and Melanie,
We were so shocked and saddened to hear of your Mom’s passing. We remember Rose as one of the happiest people we knew. Always a quick smile. Always having time to chat and catch up on news. Truly your Mom was one of a kind. To say that she will be missed is such an understatement. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. We know that she will always be with you in the “Holy Spirit” to love and guide you both throughout your lives. Our love is sent also to your Dad.
i will miss roseanne forever we had a lot fun over the years .she will always be in my heart.
I am so very sorry for your loss. Rosy was a great person. I will miss her beautiful smile and infectious laugh. She had such a knack for making each of us feel so very special when she was so special herself. She won’t be forgotten
Delores, we are so sorry to hear about the loss of your daughter.
We miss our chats with you, now we don’t see you at Curves.
So sad to hear that Roseanne has passed away. It’s hard to believe she’s gone. She was beautiful inside and out. And she was the funniest person I’ve ever met. A plane ride in 1978, Roseanne’s first, to Alberta, is my favourite memory. Her commentary on the plane hurtling through the skies had all the passengers around us in stitches for 3 hours! I will treasure the laughs we had. Nancy, I’m so sorry you’ve lost your sister and your whole family has this sadness to bear. My deepest condolences.
Another good guy gone – Rosie you will be missed by many. We always enjoyed your smile & laugh at the Winchester or talking on the lawn. Our thoughts & prayers are with the family.
