JOHNSEN, Rosemary
April 24, 1934- October 13, 2020
It is with great sadness that the family of Rosemary Johnsen announces her passing on October 13, 2020, at the age of 86 years.
Rosemary was a native Calgarian, and was beloved by all. She was predeceased by her husband Jack (Johno) in 2011, her brothers Jack and Don, and sisters Carol and Shirley. She is survived by her sons Michael (Donna), Murray (Wendy), brother Gerry (Ann), her grandchildren Cody and Amanda, and her great grandchildren Jackson and Hailey
Rosemary had a full and rewarding life, working as a bookkeeper mostly.
Retirement years took Jack and Rosemary to Campbell River B.C. and Apache Junction AZ, where they made many lifelong friends, but Calgary was always home.
We would like to thank the staff and medical professionals at the Rockyview Hospital, Trinity Lodge, and Chinook Care Centre for their care of our beloved mother.
At Rosemary’s request, there will be no service.
Donations to the MS Society of Canada would be appreciated.
Arrangements by Lawrence (Larry) Slywka of Cochrane Country Funeral Home.

I am so sorry to hear about your Mom. She was a kind and caring woman who always made others feel good in her presence. Mike would frequently enjoy a good “chin wag” with her and liked to tease her to make her laugh.
Sincerely,
Donna, Steph and Jaclyn
Auntie Rosemary is missed from here in BC, she was such a loving caring aunt, and we miss her a lot already, it is a wierd thing, we hardly ever talked, usually on holidays and occasions only, but now that she is gone, we feel lonely. I always remember her in the kitchen puttering away, even if Uncle Jack had the BBQ going. I also remember her in the fishing boat, always out catching me.. I remember she insisted we stay home for Uncle Jacks service, but I am so so glad we got to see her at Uncle Dan’s, we all had lotsa laughs. And now, lets please try to keep in touch and we can remember her fondly, and uncle Jack and all of our family….. maybe over a game….. hopefully CFL game when they get back going. Take care lots of love …. Cheers to Auntie Rosemary

Mom,if I only knew that I had to say goodbye to you on Tuesday, when I was with you. I wish I had a few more minutes to talk. Love you so much, and missing you more. I can’t say I love you enough.

Your mom and grandma was such a great person. She will always be a part of my stories of fun times spent at Holiday Shores.
