Rosamond Loretta Adams

Our world as we know it stopped on November 21, 2023 at 10:06 a.m.
Our hearts have been broken by the loss of our beloved mother who passed away peacefully with her family by her side.

Rosamond  Adams, age 99
June 1 1924 -  November 21, 2023
Born in Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan
Predeceased by her husband Arnold Adams and her daughter Margaret (Peggy) as well as many of her brothers and sisters.
Survived by her sister Marlene Shein and sister in law Louise Butler.

Mom is also survived by her 9 children,
Glen, Gwen, Randy, Sandie (Kerry), Leslie (Doug, deceased) Linda, Elaine (Rob, deceased) Diane (Don), Debbie.

Mom was the proud grandmother of 21 grandchildren,  equally proud of  her 35 great grandchildren.

Mom was a stay at home mother, always cooking and cleaning making sure we were all happy.

Mom always reminded us that she was blessed to have had a long and fulfilled life ,surrounded by all of us that loved her.  She enjoyed the casino and loved her vodka and 7- up which always put a smile on her face. At gatherings Mom’s trait was to put her empty glass on her head, we all knew what it meant, it was time for another one…just one more please!  Mom’s desire was just four simple things from her family, a visit, a hug, a call, and the words, "I love you!”

Material things were not important to her, all that mattered to her was that the people in her life were happy and healthy. 

Mom left a note for us expressing her wishes for us :

To my daughters and sons…

When you are lonely I wish you love,
When you are sad I wish you joy,
When you are discouraged I wish you beauty,
When you are troubled I wish you peace.
Love Mom

When we lose someone as special as a mother or  a grandmother we are just not ourselves, nor should we be.  We are broken and bereaved and need time to mend, we know you are at peace now mom and grandma and watching over us.  For us that brings us comfort while we walk through this hardship. Waves of sorrow will come and go through the rest of our lives, we need time, more than we know. Mom, Grandma, you are the most beautiful memory we all have locked in our hearts.

Mom and Grandma, if every single person that loved you in your lifetime, were to light up on a map, it would create the most glittering beautiful network you could imagine.  Throw in the strangers you have been kind to, the people you made laugh, or inspired along the way and that star bright network of you would be an impressive sight to behold.  You were so much more than you think you were to us; you have done so much more than you realize for us. You have left your family a trail of a very bright pathway to follow. Thank you for being a blessing in our lives.

We love you Mom and Grandma and will miss you more than you know.  Mom didn’t like goodbyes, her saying was: “so long for now”

So long for now, until we see you again
