It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Jeanine Rosner of Coleman, Alberta who succumbed to her illness on December 17, 2014 while receiving care at the Peter Lougheed Centre in Calgary. She lived life joyously and fully for 51 years.
Jeanine was born on July 9, 1963 in Amsterdam, Netherlands to Paul & Hilda Snijder. She immigrated to Canada with her family at a very young age and she learned to appreciate the natural and rugged beauty of the Crowsnest Pass. Jeanine blossomed into a beautiful young lady who was swept off her feet by a dashing young man, Peter Rosner. They were joined in holy matrimony on July 7, 1984 and later blessed with three sons.
Jeanine was devoted to her family and she did her best to make her home a place of love, laughter and respect. She loved suppertime conversations and the openness and honesty of her family. She cherished her role as a homemaker with all her heart and became the neighbourhood mom for all kids. Jeanine’s magnetic and sparkling personality drew people young and old to her and made her an unforgettable person. Her first thoughts were always for those around her, but she also had enjoyable pastimes: skiing, camping, baking, volunteering and working on her stained glass craft. She was an inspiration to her family and friends and her compassion and fortitude will always be fondly remembered - “Without wanting to, you still can” were words she often proclaimed and demonstrated.
Jeanine is survived by her husband, Peter Rosner; her children, Tyler (Kirsten), Travis, and Ben Rosner; her mother; Hilda Snijder; her brother, Robert (Teresa) Snyder of Idaho; her sister, Lily (Gord) Hruby of Slave Lake; her mother in law, Muriel Rosner; and numerous nieces, nephews, extended family as well as the many friends she made throughout her lifetime.
She was predeceased by her father, Paul Snijder.
The Funeral Mass will be held on Saturday, December 27, 2014 at 11:00 am at the Holy Trinity Catholic Church in Blairmore with Fr. Ben Marino as Celebrant. Interment will follow at the New Blairmore Union Cemetery. Pallbearers are: Wes Ostrensky, Mark Milley, Chris Self, Junior Olsen, Danny DeLisle and Andy Fowler.
