Rosanna (Rose) Wellman November 3, 1918 - August 21, 2009 It is with great sadness that the family of Rose (Gillette) Wellman announce her passing on Friday, August 21, at the age of 90. Leaving to mourn with loving memories are her sons Terry (Mereda) and Larry (Linda); her grandchildren Monte, Andrea, Jennifer, Heather and Christopher; her eight great-grandchildren; as well as many nephews, nieces, cousins, and many friends. Rose was pre-deceased by her husband Lloyd Wellman in 1985, infant son Monte, her parents John and Minnie Gillette; as well as her brothers William (Will), infant Frank, Chesley, George, Jack, and Roy, and her sisters Anita (Nete), Alma, Jessie, Florence (Flo), and Clarice. Rose was born, raised and lived her life in Humbermouth on Corner Brook’s east side. Throughout her life, Rose gave unselfishly of her time to several volunteer organizations. Among these were the Humber United Church Ladies Auxiliary, the Interfaith Home for Senior Citizens, and the Dr. J. I. O’Connell Centre. Rose was a long time member of the Echo Seniors Club, and dearly loved a good game of cards. She also took tremendous pleasure in her beautiful garden over the years, and was an inspiration in this regard to her special niece and dear friend Ina. Rose loved spending time with family and friends at Gildor Cabin on George’s Lake. She had a wonderful sense of humour, and could often be counted on to regale company with stories that left one and all in tears of laughter. Her wit, ready smile, and care and concern for others will be greatly missed by everyone who knew her. The family would like to thank the staff at Western Memorial Hospital for their excellent care and compassion over the last few months of Rose’s hospitalization. Visitation will take place at Fillatre’s Funeral Home on St. Mark’s Avenue on Sunday August 23 and Monday August 24, from 2:00 to 4:00 and 7:00 to 9:00 pm. Funeral service will be held at Humber United Church on Clarence Street on Tuesday, August 25 at 2:00 pm, interment to follow at Mount Patricia Cemetery. Flowers gratefully accepted, or donations in Rose’s honour can be made to the Western Memorial Hospital Foundation.
