Rosemary Hughes
Rosemary ‘Rosie’ Jean Hughes (Revel)
Our beautiful beloved Rosie was taken from us suddenly on the afternoon of February 3rd, 2010. Born in Juneau, Alaska May 30th 1959, her life, although cut too short, was full of love and friendship. Whether it was her childhood in Raymond, WA, during her school years at Willapa Valley, her 20 plus years of working at the Boeing Everett plant, or her time with the friends of Bill W, she had the special ability of forging strong relationships wherever she went and a spirit that can not be forgotten.
She married David Mullenix and moved to Arlington, WA in the early 1980s to raise their two children. In 2006 she married Michael Hughes in a Elvis themed Las Vegas wedding that her mother Darlene would have loved.
We will remember her soft touch, the way she loved and cared for others, the comfort of her embrace and her sense of humor. She had a love for all animals, music, and all people. She enjoyed singing loud, whether on the hilltop of her childhood home, or while driving in her car. She cherished the precious moments with her grandchildren, enjoyed taking them to new and exciting places and in return traveling to new places with her husband. Her sweet smile, laugh that would fill a room and large heart will stay with us forever.
Rosie is survived by her husband, Michael Hughes of Lynnwood WA, her son, Shaun Mullenix of Arizona City AZ, her daughter, Tristin Rieken of Alger WA, her brother, Allen Revel of Bothell WA, her sister, Charmayne LeClair of Raymond WA, her Grandchildren, Kaleb and Ayden Mullenix, Chayce and Fletcher Rieken and countless friends and family members whom she held so dear.
Rosie joins her father, Joe Revel, her mother, Darlene Revel and her adored dog, D.O.G. We are comforted knowing that wherever she is, she is preparing a meticulously clean and sweet smelling home to greet us all when it is our time to join them.
Rosie was there to console us in our times of grief, now it is time for us to console each other in our time of great loss. A celebration of Rosie’s life will be held Sunday, March 14th at 3pm at the Camano Senior & Community Center. 606 Arrowhead Road
Camano Island WA 98282.
In honor of Rosie, donations can be made in her name to her favorite charity, Kindering at http://www.kindering.org.
I love you Mom and miss you everyday.
I still feel like this is a bad dream that I haven’t woken up from. We miss you so much!
I miss you every moment of every day. As I sit reading this for the 100th time I still can not believe it is true, I too feel like it is just a dream and wake up everyday forgetting that it’s not but am always reminded. Every time the phone rings and it is not you, not your excited voice asking how I am doing, wanting to plan a weekend with Chayce or asking if your ‘grandaughter is available to talk’, I am reminded that it is true. When I check the mail on holidays and special occasions and there is not a card waiting for me addressed to ‘My Trissy Missy Moo’ I am reminded that it is true. I love you so much and am comforted knowing that your spirit lives on – not only are you watching over me, but also in the way I will mother my children because of your example.
Rosie,
My heart just aches, not many get into this heart of mine. But your love was given so freely you snuck in without me knowing. Now there is just a huge empty place in me where you love used to fill. I will miss you everyday till I can see you again. I love you Rosie, thanks for loving me too.
It was so great to see Rosie at Trisin’s wedding, she was always a great loving aunt to me. Rosie will be missed by many. My thoughts and prayers go out to you Tristin and Shawn and to everyone else Rosie touched in her life much love.
Rosie, I loved you since I knew you. My favorite thing was to run into you at the big B, the old cafe. We would catch up 5 years into 10 min. I love you girl, and I’ll see you on the other side. Fan of Bill W and recovery.
I knew Rosie when she lived on Kackman Rd. but ran into her about 5 years ago and was overjoyed at her faith in Christ at that time. What a wonderful transformation had taken place in her life in the time we had not seen each other. Even as I read this obituary and I thrilled to say we will meet again!
I am curious what took her life from this world but know she lives on.
Oh sweet Rosie-It has been so long since I saw you last but it was always like no time had past. Your smile and spirit always lit up where ever you were. I still remember playing upstairs in Raymond when we were little and singing and performing for whoever would listen to our songs on the old wind up record player. I’m so sorry for the loss of those left behind but I know you are catching up with all who went before you. See you later angel face!
Rosie, I can’t describe how different our lives will be without you here to share them with, you are in our hearts and always will be. But to have to hear your laugh in our mind’s and remember your smile will be so different than to hear you aloud and see you face to face!! I remember when I first met you I thought you were so pretty and so so cool.lol Now the memories will be the little thing’s like the sound that your jewelry and always beautiful nails would make expecially while driving and rocking out to some Blues Traveler or Indigo Girls or some Dave Matthews.or your old red ice-water mug you drink while watching friends at the High Clover house. Even things like the smell of your house and how tidy it was and your yard tanning chair I could go on forever about my memories those are just a few!! I love you Rosie I wish you were here!! You will be missed deaerly and deeply. Enjoy your new life and keep a good eye on us please -k- Love you Flo xoxoxoxo
My Best Friend
My dearest friend Rosie were do I begin..
It started in the 5th grade I think that’s when..
We became the best of all my FRIENDS..
And stayed that way through thick and thin…
We kept in touch for long time friends
Loving and growing until the end….
We’ll always remember those times again..
Over and over since we begin..
We lived apart not miles within
But never forgot each others grin
Oh could we laugh and make our heads spin
SO loud, happy and love as 2 friends..
You have not left this life we live in
You’ve gone up above to be with HIM..
So I’ll stay here and remember your GRIN
For it’s that memory I’ll keep till my end..
I love you ROSIE for all that I am
For love of 2 friends that will never end
You’ll be close to my heart. Not a whim
And your memory stays strong within….
To my BEST FRIEND
LOVE and GOD BLESS…
I wrote this poem myself from my heart
YOUR BFF and EVER!!!

So sorry all those so close to her. Loosing someone so early unimaginable and untimely of course. Ill be thinking about you for the days to come as this is new news to me this evening and but brief and short encounter I had with her is that she’s one that has left an Imprint on my heart forever.
