Rosemary Gaulin, of Plattsburgh, passed away on September 3, 2025 at the age of 86.
She was born October 14, 1938, in Watford, England and moved to the United States as a teenager.
Rosemary was preceded in death by her beloved parents, Stanley Coomber and Elsie Figg; her devoted husband, Ernest Gaulin; her cherished sons, William Gaulin and Michael Gaulin; and her son-in-law, Robert Wilkins.
She leaves behind a legacy through her daughters, Sandra Wilkins and her companion Paul Noel, and Renee Parent and her husband Daniel. She is also survived by her grandchildren: Stephanie Higley, Michelle Lasenburg, Nathan Martineau, Aaron Wilkins, Alec Martineau, and Zachary Wilkins; as well as five great-grandchildren who brought her endless joy and pride.
Fill not your hearts with pain and sorrow but remember me in every tomorrow. Remember the joy, the laughter, the smiles, I've only gone to rest a little while. Although my leaving causes pain and grief, my going has eased my hurt and given me relief. So, dry your eyes and remember me, not as I am now, but as I used to be. Because I will remember you all and look on with a smile. Understand in your hearts, I've only gone to rest a little while. As long as I have the love of each of you, I can live my life in the hearts of all of you.
In honoring her wishes, services will be private.
Services were entrusted to Heidrick Funeral Home, 48 Court St., Plattsburgh, NY 12901.
