Published by Legacy Remembers from Jul. 28 to Jul. 30, 2010.

Rosetta "Rosie" O. Pattison, age 88 of Bellingham passed away on Friday, July 23, 2010. She was born on October 30, 1921 in American Lake, WA to Clemens John and Ruey Hilda (Searles) Braune. As a child, Rosie lived in several locations in California and Oregon, and her family eventually settled here in Washington. She attended Harmony School and Mount Baker High School prior to graduating from Bellingham High School in 1940. As a young woman, Rosie worked at St. Joseph Hospital and then at Hillview Creamery. She married her greatest love and soul mate, Donald Delbert Pattison on February 23, 1943. Rosie worked as a clerk/ manager at Whatcom Falls Grocery, Geneva Grocery and Kute Kids Clothes. Rosie loved the outdoors, especially fishing and hunting trips with Don, and fishing and camping with her friends and grandchildren. She and Don enjoyed going to garage sales and collecting and refinishing antiques. They also made trips to Hawaii and South Carolina. After her husband passed away in July of 1985, Rosie stayed busy with family and friends. She visited her daughter, Lorrie and family in South Carolina and traveled with them to see many historical places including Washington D.C., Jamestown, Charleston, Disney World, and Epcot. Rosie made several RV trips with her daughter, Ann and her son-in-law, seeing the Alamo, Niagara Falls, Plymouth Rock, the Grand Canyon, Yellowstone, and the Everglades. She also took an Alaskan cruise with her family and an RV trip to Alaska with her nephew and niece. In her later years, Rosie was an active member of the Everson Senior Center and an avid fan of the Seattle Mariners. In addition to her parents and her husband, Rosie was preceded in death by her brother, Kenneth Braune; and her sister, Ruby Louella Messer. She is survived by her daughters, Lorrie Austin and Ann (Ken) Collins; brother, Clemens (Marilyn) Brown; sister, Josephine (Lynn) Reinholt; granddaughters, Sheri (Troy) Slosser, Robin Seggerman, and Heather (Keith) Miller; and great-grandchildren, Megan and Evan Slosser, and Anthony and Allison Miller.

Rosie was our wonderful neighbor. My daughter, Zaya, had a special connection with Rosie. Zaya loved nothing more than to wander over to Rosie's place for a visit. And, of course, Rosie always had a little something sweet for her. We will truly miss Rosie.

My Auntie Rosie was a legend and I will always remember her as my favorite. She was a very caring person with a laugh to remember and she could cook!!! I remember an earthquake cake she made that had fallen and cracked during baking that she decorated up really nice like an earthquake had just happened.

Of all my relatives, Rosie was my favorite Aunt. Times spent at her house while I was growing up were much anticipated and thoroughly enjoyed because of her vibrant personality, sense of humor, entertaining stories and GREAT cooking. She let me practice on her hair as I became a beautician and we saw each other regularly until I moved out of the State as a young adult. I will always cherish the memories of her conversations, advise and opinions,and especially, her hearty laugh.

I knew Rosie as a customer in my store. She was a sweet,caring woman. As we got to know eachother over the years, I looked foward to our chats when she came into my store. I will always remember how she used to spoil us gals by bringing in her famous cookie bars.....WOW!!!! My heart goes out to Rosie's family and close friends. She will be missed.
