Rosie Evans

At the age of 82, surrounded by family and loved ones, Rosie Evans passed away peacefully with grace and calm on July 20, 2023 at the Hospice Wellington in Guelph, Ontario. She is survived by her sons Jack (and Charmaine Napier) of Port Rowan, Ontario, Steve of Victoria, British Columbia and John (and Tracey Henry) of Toronto Ontario.

Rosie was the youngest of fifteen children. She was predeceased by her parents Marie and Eugene Fraser and most of her siblings, except for Donna Fraser and Gene Fraser Sr. of Guelph, Ontario and “the twins” Francis Hopperstad of Seattle, Washington and Florence Aubertin of Detroit, Michigan.

She lived her life independently and as she wanted to, right until the end. She was able to live on her own at her home until a week before her passing.

Her younger self was an avid traveller with an adventurous soul, travelling to London, Ireland, Scotland, France and other destinations. She had an extraordinary love of reading and all things related to the Toronto Blue Jays.

While Rosie enjoyed much in life nothing was more important to her than her family, all of her family, and especially those related to and connected with her Scottish roots and the Frasers of Guelph and Glengarry. She was a Fraser, first and foremost, and damn proud of it.

A special thank you to the nurses, doctors and staff at the Guelph General Hospital and the most amazing staff at the Wellington Hospice. The family would respectfully request, in lieu of flowers, that donations be made to the Hospice Wellington located at 795 Scottsdale Drive in Guelph, Ontario.
