Roseanna Faas

Roseanna H Faas passed away on July 30, 2015 at the age of 89. Rosie was born to Albert and Anna Harbour on January 14, 1926, on her parents’ farm near St Ignatius Mission, Montana. Her parents moved to Washington during World War II where Rosie graduated from Olympia, Washington in 1944.

Rosie met Navy man Daniel Faas at an USO Christmas Eve dance. They were married on May 1, 1945, and enjoyed 70 years together. As a Navy wife, Rosie enjoyed travel and adventure in places like Jacksonville (FL), Corpus Christi (TX), Virginia Beach (VA), Panama Canal Zone where their daughter was born, Memphis (TN) where their son was born, Hawaii, and Oak Harbor (WA).

When Dan retired from the Navy in 1968, Dan became a FAA employee, and they moved to Alaska above the Arctic Circle at Bettles Field, and later to Juneau. When Dan retired from the FAA 1982, they became snowbirds living the summers in Oak Harbor and the winters in places like Miram ar (CA) and Apache Junction (AZ). After 1997, they moved to Kent (WA) where they enjoyed a close family life with their children and grandchildren.

Rosie outlived her three half sisters and two half brothers. She is survived by her husband Dan, daughter Sidney, son Mark, daughter-in-law Kathy, grandson Michael, granddaughter Katelyn, and great grandsons Zachery and Zeal.
