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.
