ROHDE: Valerie (McCann) of RR 2 Zurich

February 15, 2025 By Haskett Funeral Homes 85 Condolences

ROHDE: Valerie (McCann) of RR 2 Zurich

Peacefully, at South Huron Hospital, Exeter on Thursday, February 13, 2025 in her 75th year. Beloved wife of Calvin Rohde for over 29 years. Loving mother of Cheyenne Mosurinjohn, Greg Fear, and Sonya Lawrence (Wayne Martin). Proud grandmother of Damien Willert, Vivian Willert; and Justin Martin. Remembered by her many siblings, especially, Olive Goreglad, Rosemary Duffy, Jimmy McCann, and her in-laws Doug and Judy Rohde. Fondly remembered by her many nieces and nephews.

Following Valerieโ€™s wishes cremation has taken place and a private family celebration of life will be held at a later date.

We wish to thank South Huron Hospital, Dr. Nelham and Dr Bueno for their care and compassion. We were very blessed to have had Nurse Linda Miller looking after mom and us through her final days. They are all truly amazing.

Donations to the Alzheimer Society of Canada or the South Huron Hospital Foundation would be appreciated by the family.

Offer Condolence for the family of ROHDE: Valerie (McCann) of RR 2 Zurich
