Roslyn was born on June 23, 1934, in East Providence, RI to Robert J. and Elizabeth (Doige) Halsall.

She was a homemaker while her children were growing up and later held assorted part time jobs which she enjoyed immensely.

She and Ray enjoyed traveling across the US and Canada and were particularly thrilled to be able to celebrate their 50th wedding anniversary on the Island of Hawaii, achieving their goal of visiting all fifty states. They wintered in Florida for many years and enjoyed making friends and maintaining relationships which were long lasting. Roslyn had a passion for quilting and enjoyed sharing her talents with others. She liked spending time with family and friends, playing Bingo, Mexican Train Dominoes, shuffleboard, jigsaw puzzles and participating in club-house events.

In 2007 she and Ray moved to Concord where they were surrounded by many kind and caring friends and neighbors. Roslyn's final home has been Hillsboro House Nursing Home, where she received compassionate and thoughtful care.
