Rosalie Kathleen Harriott

   It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Rosalie Harriott, known by many as Lee McVickar, on November 17, 2022 at the Crowsnest Pass Continuing Care Centre, Blairmore, AB.  She was 88.

   Rosalie was born and raised in the Turks and Caicos Islands.  She attended boarding school in Jamaica and Canada for several years before moving to Vancouver with her family in 1950. After earning her degree at the University of British Columbia, she lived for many years in England before coming back to Canada and settling in the Crowsnest Pass, AB in 1981.  As an active member of the Crowsnest Pass Women’s Resource and Crisis Centre and the Crowsnest Pass Allied Arts Association, Rosalie was well-known and devoted to the community she chose as her home.

   Rosalie enjoyed gardening, music, a good book, and travelling to visit dear friends in England and her childhood home in the Turks and Caicos Islands.  She spent many happy times with wonderful friends in the Crowsnest Pass.

  Rosalie touched many hearts throughout her life.  May beautiful memories of her bring comfort to those she loved and who love her.

   Left to mourn her passing and celebrate her life is her daughter, Mary Alice (Ed) Villeneuve of Edmonton, AB; her grandchildren, Alex and Andrew Villeneuve; her nieces and nephews, Michelle, Mike, Damon, Kathy and Alexis; many great-nieces and great-nephews; her sister, Blyth Perrault and sister-in-law Angie Harriott; as well her extended family and good friends.

   She was predeceased by her mother, Marjorie Young; her father, Franklyn Harriott; her son, Angus McVickar; her brother, Hyatt Harriott; her brother-in-law, Allan Perrault; and her nephew Devin Perrault.

   A Memorial Service will be held in the summer of 2023. Condolences may be registered at www.fantinsfuneralchapel.ca.
