It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of Rosalie Power after a courageous four and a half year battle with cancer. Predeceased by her parents Chesley and Victoria (Queen) Lynch. Survived by her loving spouse of thirty years James Gill, her son Jason Power (Tara) and family and especially her most loved granddaughter Hailey and loving step-daughter Aasha Gill. Also left to mourn are her three sisters and four brothers. Rosalie will be sadly missed by her many friends in Yellowknife, Newfoundland & Labrador, Regina, Sask and Vancouver Island, B.C.
Born in St John’s, NL Rosalie moved to Yellowknife, NWT where she worked for both the Territorial and Municipal Governments for well over twenty nine years. She received many awards for her dedication and commitment to her community both in Yellowknife and the Cowichan Region on Vancouver Island. One of her most treasured awards was that of the Queens Golden Jubilee Medal in 2002; she was a proud member of the Cobble Hill Farmers Institute, and her passion and love was their Gill Power Hobby Farm. Special appreciation goes to Rosalie’s sisters Doreen and Nina for their unselfish care, kindness and compassion during her illness. A service will be held at St John’s Anglican Church Cobble Hill on Saturday, July 7 at 2 P.M., in lieu of flowers donations may be made to the Canadian Cancer Society or charity of your choice.
