Rosalie was the oldest of 5 children born to Maurice and Katherine Fitzpatrick. They moved to Assiniboia in 1945. After graduating from high school, she worked at the bank where she met Art Fjeldberg who was one of her customers. They were married in Assiniboia on August 5, 1958, and went on to have three children. Parker married to Barb with their child Autumn; Kelly married to Rynae with Jackson and Carli and their daughter Claire, Justine and Tyler with children Scarlett and Tanner, Brandon, Tyson with his daughter Sydney; Nancy with her children, Marshall, Nash, Colton and Boston.
Rosalie spent her time very busy with the Royal Purple, Community Band and farming. She was an amazing cook, and we all loved Grandmas cabbage rolls and cinnamon buns. When the kids were older, she also started to work at the Coop in Assiniboia where she worked for over 25 years. Art and Rosalie travelled extensively. They especially loved cruising and the small resort in Mexico they went to for many years. They had a beautiful love story that lasted 65 years till her beloved Art passed away on November 21st, 2023, with Rosalie beside him. After Arts passing, she kept busy with playing cards, coffee with the girls, golfing, spending time with family and travelling. Rosalie always had a smile and time to visit and seemed to know everyone in Assiniboia. We were all fortunate to have Rosalie for almost 84 years. She was energetic and walked everywhere. While we are understandably in shock about the suddenness of her passing, we take great comfort in the fact that she had a long healthy active life and now will be able to rejoin her beloved Art. We will miss her, but we all know that she has lived a long wonderful life and that will comfort us through the coming days.
