1933 – 2017

Rosemarie von Seckendorff, 84, passed away on June 12, 2017 in Kamloops BC, after a lengthy illness. Born in Altrohlau, Germany on January 14, 1933, Rosemarie leaves behind her husband Goetz “Gus”; daughters Anne Shukin and Diane (Brian Sr.) Norris; grandchildren Brian Jr. (Carly), Gerald, Brent (Lisa), Grant, Marie (Toni) and Greg (Lisa); many great grandchildren; nephew Burke; and relatives in Germany. Rosemarie was predeceased by her parents Walter and Theresa Ehmig, brother Wally and sister-in-law Shirley.

Rosemarie met the love of her life, Gus, and they spent 43 years of marriage together. She’ll be remembered as a chef at the Plaza Hotel in Kamloops for many years. Rosemarie always had a smile for people, and a special love for her family. She enjoyed boating, travelling, and spending time with her family and friends. Her faith was very important to her, and her inner strength helped her greatly through many difficult times.

Private family arrangements have been made. The family would like to thank the many medical and health care professionals who helped Rosemarie though her illness, with special thanks to retired doctor Terry Simpson and his assistant Sue, to Dr. Howie, and to the caring staff and nurses at Pine Grove Care Centre.
