Roseanne Bernice Ma Millan, March 21, 1926 — April 24, 2016

Obituary for Roseanne Bernice MacMillan Roseanne Bernice MacMillan passed away on Sunday morning, April 24, 2016, at Escondido’s Palomar Hospital, at 1:31 AM of respiratory failure. She was born on March 21, 1926 in Amery Wisconsin to Joe and Esther Lindstrom Stich. She was the last of nine girls.

She is survived by her son, Stephen Rockwell, of Mesa, Arizona, her only child who was from her first marriage to Theodore Gawle. Roseanne spent most of her working life working as a secretary, her longest job working for Presto Industries as a secretary to the president of the company. In 1970 she married Laverne Washington Rockwell, of Chippewa Falls Wisconsin and was married to him until he died in 1993.

They resided in Escondido California during the later years of their marriage. Roseanne is survived by six step grandchildren, two step daughters in law, and one stepson from that marriage. Her last marriage was to Milford Macmillan of San Marcos California.

Roseanne took care of “Bud” in his later years and nursed him until his death. She ended her life in a series of assisted-living homes and nursing care facilities until she reached her 90th birthday and then passed away a few weeks later. Additionally, Roseanne is survived by many nieces and nephews who were born to her eight sisters.

Roseanne was a feisty, fun loving, honest, wisecracking lady who loved her adopted state of California and who enjoyed life to the fullest until she was no longer able. In her later years she lost most of her hearing and vision, and unfortunately couldn’t function very well toward the end. Roseanne also left behind a good friend named Wendy Rienti who helped her out a lot during her last years.
