Rosemary passed peacefully away at Lady Minto Hospital in Ganges, British Columbia on April 24, 2025. She was born May 1, 1943, daughter to Rose Martha and Otto Ommer in Glasgow, Scotland, big sister to Andrea.
Rosemary was fiercely intelligent with a restless and inquisitive mind. Her academic efforts earned her respect and admiration not only in Canada but across the world.
She was an avid reader, an accomplished poet, a mentor and teacher, and dear friend to many. She is survived by her sister Andrea (Brogan), her children Keith, Ken, Catriona, and Andrew, her beloved grandchildren Liam, Zachary, Spenser, Miranda, Tessa, Annika, and Lorenzo, and her beloved nieces and nephews Clare, Nikki, David, Andrew, and Tom.
Your memory undiminished, your earthly duties done.
Rest easy Rosemary; the fray is finished, the battle won.
Her children would like to say a special thank you to the Acute Care team of doctors and nurses at Lady Minto Hospital who made her last days comfortable and happy.
So sorry to hear of Rosemary’s death. She was a wonderful neighbour & friend.
The world is a sadder place for her loss.
