Rosalie Gayle Fitch

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Rosalie Gayle Fitch, who left us on March 11, 2025, at the age of 81 after a short battle with cancer. Rosalie was born on May 21, 1943, in St. Helens, Oregon, where she grew up and graduated from St. Helens High School.

After high school, Rosalie moved to Portland, Oregon, where she worked for U.S. Bank and the Texas Longhorn. After the birth of her son Ronald J. Mulkey, she pursued a career in real estate and obtained her Real Estate license, working for Tri-State Realty. Rosalie married Terence Norell Fitch on

May 2, 1978. In addition to her real estate career, she ran a successful wedding and catering business for three years. Rosalie retired from real estate at the age of 65.

Rosalie was preceded in death by her beloved husband, Terence, in 2012, and her son, Ron, in 2024. She is survived by her sister, Sherri Bogardus of Gresham, OR, as well as three stepchildren: Jeffrey Fitch of Gresham, OR, Kris Shuler of Sandy, OR, and Tara Fitch of Tucson, AZ. She also leaves behind her goddaughter, Makenzie Andrews of Gresham, OR, along with 10 grandchildren, 8 great-grandchildren, and 2 great-great-granddaughters.

Rosalie was an avid golfer, enjoyed playing bridge with her friends, and took great joy in planting flowers and tending to her garden during the spring and summer months. She was known for her daily walks, during which she made many friends among neighbors and animals she encountered along the way.

Rosalie's warm and loving nature will be greatly missed by her family, friends, and all who had the privilege of knowing her.
