LACONIA ---- Rosalie passed away on Sunday, June 7, 2026, at the Belknap County Nursing Home.
Rosalie was born on August 31, 1941, in Grafton, NH, the daughter of the late Fredrick and Bessie (Morse) Sturtevant.
Rosalie was the happiest when with her family. She was a talented musician. She enjoyed playing her guitar and singing for family and friends. In the early to mid-1970’s she was in the band “The Country Stompers” entertaining around New England. She would play music for the whole neighborhood on Saturdays while residing in Franklin, NH. To this day many still comment about those “concerts” and how they were enjoyed. She loved loud music! Rosalie was very artistic and enjoyed drawing and “decorating”. She was quick witted, spunky and had a great sense of humor! She journaled and wrote songs. Rosalie was a homemaker and stay at home mother but did some part-time work in her later years. She was most proud of being a “salad girl” at the Homestead Restaurant in Bristol, NH in the 1980’s.
She is survived by her son Sam Dicey; daughters Beverly LaPage (Jody), Jayne Davis (John), and Rebecca Leonard (Ben); grandchildren Jessica Emerson, David Holmberg, Eric Holmberg, Amanda Bumford, Scott Bumford, Emily Bumford, Sabrina Bull, Jessica Benwell, Ruby Hendrix, Lillian Ezzelle; six great-grandchildren; and several nieces and nephews.
In addition to her parents, Rosalie was predeceased by her husband Clyde (Sam) Dicey in 1998 and her daughter Sheila on April 24, 2026 and brothers Freddie, Rollie, Wilbur, Frank, and James; and her sister Rowena.
