Mount Pleasant – Irene Violet Roselle, 94, received the promise of eternal life on Friday, May 10, 2019. She was born in Racine on June 6, 1924, daughter of the late Joseph and Susan (née: Brusko) Thuriot. Irene was united in marriage to the love of her life, Donald Roselle, on June 14, 1947. Don preceded her in death on December 17, 1984.
Irene was a life-long member of Holy Communion Church in Racine. She was a talented seamstress and made many of her own clothes. Irene also loved poetry for which she won several awards and was published in the Journal Times. She was a master gardener and enjoyed spending time tending to her plants and flowers in the garden, and she was a true lover of all dogs. Above all, Irene loved her family dearly and will be missed tremendously.

So many memories.
Tom and Sandy Seitz says
Irene was our neighbor on Meadow Lane for many years! Bruce baby-sat for our daughter Sheri (now almost age 54!) Don and Irene were wonderful neighbors! We moved in mid-1984. Irene and I shared many cups of coffee together and I often thought of her during the years. Please accept our sympathies for your loss!
Dale Ruth Raboldt says
My sympathy to all the family. Aunt Irene was a very special lady to me. The last I saw her was at Lincoln Lutheran. I lost track of her, but thought of her often. I always called her my pretty Aunt. I’m Dale Ruth { Thuriot} Raboldt. I’m the daughter of her half brother Walter Thuriot. I’m so sorry I can’t be there Saturday. I will be in Minnesota visiting a Granddaughter. Please know I will be there in my heart and will look forward to a joyful reunion in Heaven.
Curtis Wallin says

Sorry Donna and I are unable to attend the funeral. You have our deepest sympathy. When we lose people like uncle Don and aunt Irene we are all a lot poorer.
