Rosilind Dale Schroeder

July 16, 1950 - November 8, 2024

Rosilind “Rosi” (Burns) Schroeder, daughter of the late Major Ross Burns and Eva (Hayes) Burns RNA, was born on July 16, 1950, in Simcoe, Ontario. As a military child, Rosilind moved many times in her life. She attended Alma College and Brock University. Settling in Weston, Ontario, she married Dieter Schroeder on September 26, 1987, where they raised their children. Her last move, in 2017, was to Oshawa, Ontario.

Rosilind was an avid reader with a curious and creative mind. She was also a remarkably caring, generous, and compassionate person. She brought her brilliant brain, her compassionate heart, her silly and witty sense of humour, and her creative spark into the work she did as a Guider and eventually as a District Commissioner with Girl Guides of Canada.

Beloved wife of Dieter Schroeder, mother of Jessica (Chad), Trevor, and Ian (Kathryn), and bonus mother of Patrick (Jessica). She was the proud grandma of Rylee, Avah, Owen, Marshall, and Virginia. She is also survived by her sisters, Sharon (George) and Deborah (John), as well as her many nieces and nephews, who fondly called her Aunt Rosi.

Rosilind passed away peacefully on November 8, 2024, surrounded by family at Lakeridge Hospital. She received kind and compassionate care from the ICU team.

Please join us in remembrance on Sunday, November 24, between 1:00 p.m. and 4:00 p.m. at The Centennial Building, 416 Centre St. South, Whitby, Ontario. Light refreshments will be served throughout, and at 2:30 p.m., we will gather to reflect, share memories, and sing one of her favourite camp songs.

In keeping with Rosilind’s generous and caring spirit, please consider a memorial donation to Girl Guides of Canada or The Daily Bread Food Bank.
