Rosemary Hansen Lockwood passed away at her home in Copalis Beach, Washington on Monday, Dec. 27, 2021. She was born Rosemary Hansen on the 15th of August 1923, the youngest of four daughters, to Jens and Mary Hansen. She grew up on Queen Anne Hill, graduated from Queen Anne High School in 1941 and attended the University of Washington.

During WWII she trained as a pilot with the WAFs until the program was cancelled, transferring her efforts to a job with Boeing working on the planes. In the ’70s she studied with the Maharishi Mahesh Yogi to become a teacher of Transcendental Meditation and became a lifelong meditator.

Rosemary moved to Copalis Beach in 1981 drawn by her lifelong love of the water and walking the beach. She found her kinship in a Kabbalah group, which met monthly for decades, where she continued her studies/search for knowledge. She loved to travel visiting Europe, Spain, Africa and Egypt.

Rosemary had five children, three of whom preceded her in death: Nannette Fortune Morgan, Howard Atwood Morgan and April Candace Canelis. She is survived by her two children: Julia Marie Walter and Cindra Lee Asthalter, stepdaughter Linda Lockwood, nine grandchildren and seven great-grandchildren.

Arrangements for her celebration are in process and expected to occur this summer.

Cremation arrangements are entrusted to Twibell’s Fern Hill Funeral Home in Aberdeen, Washington.
