Carolyn was born on October 31, 1941 to Robert and Mabel (Lewis) Houston, of Sherman, Wash. Carolyn met the love of her life, Joseph “John” Rosman, at a winter dance and they were married in 1961. After serving in the Army, the two settled on the Rosman family farm south of Creston. They lived together on the farm for nearly 60 years and raised five children. Carolyn’s family was her life’s purpose, and she worked hard to keep a clean home full of love, joy, and good food. Carolyn never took a moment for granted with her family. She loved music, laughter, and was a devout Christ follower. She prayed every day for her family and their future. While John grew a thriving farm, Carolyn raised a thriving family.
John and his family would like to thank the staff at Devonshire in Touchmark in Spokane for their exemplary support and loving care of Carolyn and himself.
Carolyn will forever be remembered for her beautiful smile, generous spirit, and loving kindness. She made this world more kind and beautiful. We are all better people because we knew her.
Carolyn is survived by her husband of 62 years, Joseph “John” Rosman; her children Jonnelle (Mark) Pierce, Randy (Scott) Rosman, Joe (Mary) Rosman, Jeff (Katie) Rosman, and Kara (Ryan) Rowe; her grandchildren Austan Pierce, Kendra (Mike) Henry, JD (Bree) Rosman, Joey (Karen) Rosman, Cristy (Taylor) Gamble, Brent Rosman, Doug Rosman, Matt Rosman, and Kali Rowe; and her brother Kennie (Sheryl) Houston.
Carolyn’s funeral service will be held Friday, November 10th at 11am at Sacred Heart Catholic Church in Wilbur, Wash.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in her honor to the Alzheimer's Association, Wilbur Sacred Heart Catholic Church, or Wilbur Cemetery Association.
