ANGEN, Rosemarie Joan (July 2, 1948 – April 4, 2015) Rosemarie passed away at Points West Hospice on April 4 after a long and courageous battle with cancer. She was born in Sexsmith, AB, the third child of Olaf and Cecile Angen. Rosemarie was raised in LaGlace. She was our “Little Tomboy” and she loved her childhood — playing sports which included: fastball, soccer, curling, golf, riding her bike, and spending time outside with animals and friends. She made many life-long friends and she enjoyed the comradery of teammates. Rosemarie attended the LaGlace School from grades 1 – 10. Her class was the first to be bussed to Sexsmith for grades 11 and 12. After grade 12, Rosemarie took office training and worked at the BMO and then for the County of Grande Prairie. The job that Rosemarie loved was working in the duplicating office at GPRC. She was very well liked because of her friendly nature and she would go out of her way to get jobs done even if it meant staying late or going back to work in the evenings. For the last 12 years, Rosemarie and her mom lived at Emerald Estates. Rosemarie was an active member of this small community and she served faithfully on the Board. She was loved by all the residents. Rosemarie always treasured family and friends. She was proud to be part of the Sandboe and Torgerson clans. The Sallis family has been a huge part of Rosemarie’s life. During her illness, the support provided by Buzz’ family has been amazing. Heartfelt thanks to all! Rosemarie had a special love for animals. She showed great affection to her pets and to pets of other people like Simon, Jean, and Phil’s dog. She also had an interest in wild animals which was evident by the bird feeders posted on the condominium fence. She leaves to mourn her mother Cecile Angen, brother Garry (Lynn) Angen, sister Gail (Ross) Risvold, special long-time friend Buzz Sallis, his siblings Cindy (Dale) Sandboe, Garry (Bernadette) Sallis, Ted (Tara) Sallis, and Lorraine (Ben) Sallis, as well as numerous cousins, aunts, uncles, nieces and nephews, and many close friends. Rosemarie was predeceased by her father, Olaf Angen, several aunts and uncles, her cousin Cindy Newsom, and her special friend Valerie Griffith.
