Rosemary Winifred Hitchcock

The passing of Rosemary is a sad loss to us all. The Berry family extends its condolences to the the Hitchcock and Viner family. Rosemary will always have a place in our hearts for her unstinting generosity and her caring and support when needed. Our family connection with Rosemary dates back to the 1960’s and my attendance at the West Oxfordshire Technical College where I met her husband to be. The newly wed Hitchcocks and the Berrys continued their social connections with regular family activities, including Sunday afternoon outings to the Viner household at Milton-under-Wychwoo
d which was always a most happy experience witnessing the waggish humor of Ron and enjoying Winnie’s wonderful afternoon tea time fare. Although I now reside in Canada it gives me great satisfaction to know that my children maintain the connection.

Rosemary was a very special person. Sheldon and her shared a wonderful cousin relationship over the past 16 years. Even though we lived an ocean apart, we saw each other often in England, Texas, Cypress and Canada. Rose had Churchill on her bucket list so Sheldon and her had a great trip there to see the polar bears. We will miss her and the regular phone chats and are so glad we came to England last fall. Our sincere sympathies to Jon, Jen, Lily and Nancy and we hope to see you in Canada soon.

I am so sad that my aging arthritic body does not let me attend my only sisters funeral..
Despite the big gap in our ages we finally managed some fun trips together.
Crossing the Atlantic on the QM2 was one of the finest.
She loved to visit Canada - my home for the last 50 years.
She loved Lake Louise and I will say my final goodbye there with private prayers and memories.
Rest in peace dear sister.
Moggie❤️
