Rosemary STOKELL Obituary

Oh Rosie! Such joy every time we met. We missed you first when you went to Nelson. Grateful that you stayed with us on a trip back. Grateful too for your artworks on our walls. We have much to thank
Rosie for.Our sympathy to the family

Dear Mark, Thomas, Dominic and Natalie

When we heard of Rosemary´s death many fond memories from our connection when you were young became alive. Do you remember when Rosemary brought you all to visit us in Sweden and we stayed at the "Af Chapman" hostel, a ship in the centre of Stockholm? Guy Fawkes at your land in Pauatahanui was an annual fixture on our calendar and we wouldn´t miss it for anything. Once you kids were in charge we experienced some fantastic fireworks.

We know that your mum will be sorely missed by you. She was such a precious, creative, caring and fun mother and friend. One of a kind!

Love from Jakob and Niklas, Hanna, Norman and Ulla

Rosie was my tutor, mentor and friend. She gave me guidance, teaching and friendship. She gave me what I need to sustain me for the rest of my life. She gave me art, art and art. I am incredibly grateful that I benefited from her brilliance. Condolences to all who feel the loss of Rosie.

Dear family of Rosemary,
I lead the exercise classes at Ernest Rutherford village, and will fondly remember your colourful, determined, talented mum when she attended, working with dedication on her mobility, even when it was challenging. We will be all wearing bright coloured tee-shirts to class on Thursday in her honour. Relax now Rosemary and paint some wonderful colours for us to look up at!

Rosemary was a very special person, who loved life. She was generous and fun to be with, I am so happy to have known her and especially glad to have spent time with her when I was in Nelson, just over two years ago. Happy Memories!

Huge condolences to all for the loss of Rosemary.
Like many, I owe her a great deal. She was a generous person and improved my drawing and water colour a great deal.
Her paintings are a special reminder of her. Go well, dear Rosie.
