Globe 2019 SUMMER

In Memoriam
Earlier this year we said goodbye to two long term members of the
Globetrotters Club. Here, fellow Globies share their memories:
Rosalie Bolland 6th August 1944 - 15th April 2019
“Rosalie’s funeral service was small and just for
family but the Celebration Service we went to was
the most relaxed I have ever attended, with no
time restrictions on the finish. Friends, relatives
and fellow travellers all gave their personal experiences
and memories of Rosalie. The church was
packed and whilst a sad occasion, it was a joy to
share happy memories and laughter afterwards with
others who knew Rosalie so well.
I first met Rosalie at Globetrotters. Whilst an unassuming personality,
she took command of organising a group of us for an annual ‘get
together’, for which she cooked and booked us into her local theatre.
Rosalie’s cooking was something else - she could really cook up a
storm. The table would be virtually sagging under the weight of her
offerings! Cooking and welcoming were the two things I will always
remember Rosalie for and I still miss her gentle smile and ready
listening ear at our Globetrotter meetings.” - Fiona Churchill
“If Dick Curtis could have been called Father of the House in relation to
Globetrotters, Rosalie Bolland would have been one of the contenders
for the role of Mother. Unfailingly generous with her help and support
at meetings, Rosalie was loved for her warmth, kindness, and friendliness
and appreciated for her authenticity, listening skills, wide interests
and renowned hospitality, especially around Christmas when year after
year she cooked up a pre-pantomime feast.
