It is with great sadness, yet peace of mind that we announce that Rose Margaret Buhlman, aka Rosie / Maggie / Toot / Mom, passed away on November 18, 2019 in Windsor, to join her husband Jack/John.
Mom had long and busy life raising their seven children – Margaret /Peggy (Pedro), John (Lynda), Bob (Susanne), Jim (Cindy), Cathy (Mike), Patty (Kevin), and Tom (Katharin). Mom had a great love of travel and shared it with her children. After their honeymoon in Ottawa, she and Jack spent each July of our formative years crossing the country and camping each night. Mom’s travels took her further afield, venturing to Holland with Jack, and then exploring several U.S. states, the Middle East, Caribbean islands, Peru, New Zealand, and Portugal – too many places to list. Her other passions were nursing, having spent most of her career in the nursery at Hotel-Dieu Hospital Windsor and in Thunder Bay, and gardening in her Windsor, Thunder Bay and Amherstburg homes. Mom enjoyed sailing the Lightning, cross country skiing with our dad, and regaling all listeners with her jokes.


Mom will be dearly missed not only by her children but her grandchildren - Bradley and Shannon, Tommy and Jannine, Michael, Stephen and Bryan, Shaun, Jason and Crystal, Matt and James and her great grandchildren Allie, Clinton and Gage, Austin and William, Jack, and Annika and Tony.


“Toot” was pre-deceased by her brother Banjo and sister-in-law Dee Morin and will be remembered by her siblings MaryLou Chibi and Norman Martin (Rita). She will be missed by her in-laws Doris Martin, Joan Buhlman, and Carol Brown.

We would like to thank the staff at Southwood Lake for their kindness and care.
