Rosemary ACLAND Obituary

Shocked to learn of Ro's passing. She was such an elegant woman and a pillar of her church and community. Clergy come and go, but Ro's ministry to all was lifelong and extraordinary. To say that she will be sorely missed is a gross understatement. A totara has fallen in Geraldine.

Such sad news.
With love to you all,

Memories of Ro span almost 40 years, during holiday visits to Peel Forest to stay with Granny and Grandad Prosser. Always so kind. Please hello to G & G up there for us, Ro. Go well. Xx

I had the pleasure of meeting Mrs Acland when my parents church group ate their lunch on the back porch of the home. [ The plan was to eat on the lawn, after a service in the Acland's church, but it was rain off]. I asked for a cutting off her pink climbing rose on end of porch, which turned out was over 100yrs old. I cherich this rose, reminds me of this humble ladies generousity. Regards to family.
