Laura Ann Sheff

Laura (Rosey) Ann Sheff, 52 passed away on April 16th, 2017 in Bonners Ferry with her loving sister, Sherry Cromwell-Dunham and family at her side. Services will be May 12, 2017 at the United Methodist Church at 11:00 a.m.

Rosey was born in Concord, CA on July 5, 1964 to James and Linda Cromwell.

Rosey grew up and spent most of her adult life in Concord and Martinez, California. She moved to Naples, Idaho in 2013 to be with her family after she had to have a pacemaker put in and needed son TLC, which she got from everyone.

When Rosey was 11 she started marching in a Color Guard and was able to travel up and down the western states to compete during the summer. She marched for 7 years. Her personality and rosey cheeks is what gave her the nickname of Rosey. She always had a smile on her face and loved everyone.

Rosey’s favorite past time was being with family.

Lots of card games and good times outside. She also loved bingo. She also volunteered with “Helping Hands of Naples”, Naples Food Cupboard and volunteered at the Boundary County Fair.

Rosey was married to Duane Sheff in 1993 but they were later divorced.

Rosey was a Mail Carrier in Clayton, Ca for 12 years until she had to go on SS Disability because of her enlarged heart.

She was a fighter and spent many years fighting to survive. Her last year was the hardest.

Rosey is survived by her sons Shawn Cromwell, Derek (Veronica) Sheff, beloved Granddaughter Delaine, stepson Leroy Sheff, parents Jim and Linda Cromwell, sister Sherry Cromwell (Greg) Dunham, Brother Tim Cromwell and many nieces and Nephews who all miss her loving hugs and wonderful smile.
