Easter – Roselynn Boehme Easter, loving Wife, Mother, Grandmother and Great Grandmother, age 78, of Rosemary, Alberta, passed away Monday afternoon, December 6, 2021 at Brooks, Alberta Health Center. She was born May 29, 1943 in the Cardston, Alberta hospital. She is the first child of the late Johannes (Johnny) and Fontella Rasmussen Boehme, who lived in Hillspring and then Raymond at the time. The family moved to Rosemary, Alberta when Roselynn was 5 years old, where she attended school until she graduated high school. She then attended the St. Michael’s School of Nursing in Lethbridge where she became a registered nurse. Roselynn was preceded in death by her parents, younger sister Lisa Boehme and 3 great grandchildren, Merida Donn Shields, Eliza May Umbach, and Colby James Crapo. She was a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Her faith in Jesus Christ was evident in the way she loved and served her family, her community and those who were less fortunate. She was a registered nurse and cared for many individuals at the Brooks Hospital during the 42 years she nursed there. She loved family, history work and was instrumental in compiling and completing several history books including her church ward history, the Rosemary community history and family history books. She led by example. There was never a job too large or too small that she would not tackle. Roselynn is survived by her devoted husband of almost 57 years, Norris William (Bill) Easter. 8 children; Lynn (Dean) Crapo, Jeannette (Warren) Rosner, Yvonne (John) Ady, Michael (Samantha) Easter, Donna (Gregg) Pitcher, Shane Easter, David (Karly) Easter, Nicole Easter, 36 grandchildren and 33 great grandchildren with a few more on the way. 4 brothers, Gene (Lorraine) Boehme, Val (Vivian) Boehme, Lon (Pat) Boehme, Kim (Sharon) Boehme, sister Lorelei (Ron) Leishman, and 1 Aunt DeAnne Rasmussen (Dan) Atwood. She also leaves behind numerous cousins, nieces, nephews, in-laws and friends, who will also miss her. Special thanks to the wonderful doctors and nurses at the Peter Lougheed Centre in Calgary and at the Brooks Health Centre, who provided such loving care to our mother in her last days with us. A Celebration of her Life was held for her family at The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Rosemary on Tuesday December 14, 2021 at 2 pm. Interment followed at Rosemary Cemetery.
