Natalie Fredette Rosmus

PORTLAND – Natalie Fredette Rosmus, 76, of Portland, passed away peacefully on March 8, 2022, after fighting cancer for many years. Natalie was born in Rutland, Vt. on Oct. 2, 1945, daughter of Louis and Ruth Fredette.

She graduated from Rutland High School in 1963 and married the love of her life, William Rosmus, in 1968. The cornerstone of her family, she worked as a homemaker, while also creating an extended family through babysitting for many years. Later she joined the team at Castleton Health Associates and retired in 2008 to be with her son and his family in Maine.

Natalie loved spending time with her two and four legged grandkids; had a never-ending love of dogs; and could often be found sending cards to friends and family while listening to Elvis, country music or Christmas tunes. As the family photographer, she leaves behind a library of memories for generations to enjoy.

Natalie was predeceased by her parents; her husband William, and her sister Joyce Gasco.

Natalie is survived by her loving son, Michael Rosmus, his wife Theresa, grandchildren Kitiara and Logan, and her grandpuppy Oliver; as well as nieces Michele Gasco of Saco, Valerie Gasco of Vero Beach, Fla., Lauren Johnston of Coral Springs, Fla., and nephew James Gasco of Biddeford; several great-nieces and nephews; and many close, dear friends.

Celebrations of Natalie’s life will be held at future dates in both Rutland, Vt. and Portland.
