Rosalie Gouthro
Passed on: June 28th, 2018
It is with great sadness that we, the family of Rosalie Viola Gouthro, age 70, announce her passing on June 28, 2018. Raised in Gardiner Mines, she was the daughter of the late George and Elizabeth (Timmons) Brewer.
She married her first love John Gordon ‘Gordie’ Gouthro in 1967 and celebrated 50 years last summer. They lived and raised four children together in Bridgeport. Rosalie was a very active member of Branch 78 Legion, Dominion and for many years she served catering to weddings, booking bands, running the bar and cleaning. She loved to play darts and cards as well as knitting, crafts and painting ceramics. She loved spending her summer weekends at their bungalo in Loch Lomand with family and many wonderful friends.
In 2010, she suffered a terrible stroke leaving her with paralysis and unable to speak. The end of 2011 she entered the Victoria Haven Nursing Home. There she gained a whole new family who showered her with love and compassion everyday. We are forever grateful to each and everyone of you.
