December 28, 2017 By Drake Smith 19 Condolences

Roseanna Burrell 1927 – 2017

In Memorial

 

 

Roseanna Burrell passed away peacefully in her 91st year surrounded by her loving family at Royal Inland Hospital on Boxing Day.  Roseanna was born near Kenora Ontario on February 24, 1927.  She is survived by her loving husband of 58 years Glen Burrell and her daughters Brenda Christian (Ken) and Kathy Elliott (David).  She had five grandchildren that she adored and shared life’s lessons with, Nicholas (Melissa), Vanessa, Justine (Blair), Jonathan and Taryn.  She was blessed this summer to have a great grandson, Rowen Reid Smith.  Roseanna is also survived by her sister Stella Hill in Ontario and her brother Bill Murray on Vancouver Island.

Grandma was a remarkable woman from humble beginnings that was the foundation of her family and a true friend to many.  She walked every day in West Highlands Park, baked and cooked for family and friends and enjoyed every minute with her grandchildren and her regular outings with her closest friends.

In keeping with her wishes, there will not be a service and the family asks that in lieu of flowers you make a donation to your charity of choice and take a memorial walk on a trail or in a place that is full of nature’s gifts to us.

Drake’s Funeral Services have entrusted with the arrangements.  Online condolences may be left at DrakeCremation.com

    Glen, Brenda and Family
    I am so very sorry to hear of Roseanna’s passing. She was such a wonderful lady, always with a smile and a kind word. I always loved to visit with the both of you and am so sorry I didn’t do it more often. Let this be a lesson to all of us to spend more time with those we care about, don’t put it off. Roseanna with her smile, her gentleness and her good humour will be sadly missed by all those who knew her.
    My thoughts and prayers are with you all at this difficult time.
