Rosalie Lucille Richards Frost passed away peacefully on January 11, 2017 surrounded by family.
Rosalie was born September 25, 1931 in Salt Lake City to Lynn S. and Lucille Covey Richards, the third of six children. She grew up in Federal Heights and attended The Stewart School, Bryant Jr. High, and East High School. She attended the University of Utah and affiliated with Chi Omega sorority. At each school, and where ever she went, Rosalie formed friendships that lasted throughout her life. She was dedicated and loyal to family and friends.
In 1954, she married Clarence (Jack) Frost in the Salt Lake Temple. They were the parents of seven children, grandparents of twenty-one, and great-grandparents of eight. After living in Salt Lake City and Roy, Rosalie and Jack built a home near Bonneville Golf Course, where she lived for the last forty-seven years. Their family thrived there, making many lifelong friends and memories.
Rosalie was very active and social and enjoyed her associations with many groups, including Book Group, Study Group and "The Special Ten." She was President of the Utah Symphony Guild and a member of the Mormon Tabernacle Choir for fifteen years.
She served as Primary President in the Monument Park First Ward and Relief Society President in both Roy and in her beloved Monument Park Sixteenth Ward. Rosalie loved to play tennis and completed her goal of competing in the World Senior Games in St. George for twenty years. Rosalie had a sharp mind and was a successful business owner of Frost's Books as well as a talented investor.
She was a voracious reader, loved to travel the world with Jack, and had a quick wit. Alongside Jack, she served a Spanish-speaking mission in Costa Rica, without speaking Spanish. Rosalie treasured her role as mother. She supported her children and instilled confidence in them which allowed them to succeed in any area from academics to athletics to music.
She was a loving grandmother and was proud of each of her grandchildren, spending time reading and playing with them. Rosalie was dedicated to her extended family. Summers spent at Hebgen Lake, Montana were the highlight of each year. She revered her parents and enjoyed her siblings and had great respect for her heritage, which she passed on to her own family.
Rosalie had a strong testimony of the gospel of Jesus Christ and followed His example by putting others' needs above her own. In July of 2012, she lost Jack in an accident that also left her severely injured. Her perseverance and strength in the face of adversity these last four and a half years has been inspiring. Her family will be forever grateful for this additional time and for her influence on all of us. We will miss her but are comforted to know of her reunion with Jack, her parents, and many other loved ones.
Rosalie is survived by her seven children, Linda, Peter, Susan (Brian) Steffensen, Jennifer (Kirk) Weiler, Richard, Nancy (Scott) Olsen, and Carol (Matt) Cannon; grandchildren and great-grandchildren; sisters, Vickie (Stan) Taylor and Joyce Shell; brother, Jim (Kay) Richards; and in-laws, Arcilee Frost, Miriam Anderson, Sharon Sedlar, and Tony (Coleen) Frost.
Funeral services will be held on Wednesday, January 18, 2017 at 12:00 p.m. in the Monument Park Stake Center, 1320 South Wasatch Drive. Friends and family may call at the church ln Tuesday, January 17, 2017 from 6:00-7:30 p.m. and prior to the services on Wednesday from 10:30-11:30 a.m.
Interment will be in the Wasatch Lawn Memorial Park.
