Rossanne Lorna Higgins
November 19, 1955 - March 23, 2025
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Rossanne Lorna Higgins on March 23, 2025, at the age of 69. She loved her Grandma Lila, who was very significant in Rossanne’s life growing up.
Rossanne was born on November 19, 1955, to Ross and Lorna Higgins (nee Talbot). She was the middle sibling of five, with sisters Janet, Margaret, Sharron, and brother Ted. She was a single mother to her sons Talbot and Jason, and a proud grandmother of Brandon, Brooklyn, Brielle, and Brexton.
In 2012, Rossanne underwent a double lung transplant and regained her active lifestyle, becoming known for the many medical miracles she had experienced.
Rossanne is survived by her oldest son Jason and her grandchildren. She is at peace now, walking again with Talbot.
She was very active in her community, participating in her seniors group, darts, euchre, and volunteering at Pickering Village. She loved spending time with friends, socializing, and shopping. For many years, she cherished her time at Cedar Valley Trailer Park in the summer. Since her lung transplant, she developed a love for traveling, taking many trips.
Rossanne especially loved spending time with her grandchildren. Brooklyn and Brielle were her motivation for undergoing the lung transplant, fighting to be with them. She called them her "two angels."
A celebration of life will be held in May. Details will be made available to all who want to celebrate her.
She will be missed by all who knew her. She is now reunited with her son Talbot, her Grandma Lila, her father and mother, and her sister Janet.
