Rosanne Provost

Today we celebrate the joyful life of Rosanne Provost. She left us while at home with her husband of 50 years, Don Provost, after spending the day laughing with family and friends. The family requests, in lieu of flowers, that donations be sent to the Autism Research Foundation.

Both of her grandparents immigrated from Italy and brought with them a love of both family and food. She met Don, her husband-to-be, in high school and they started dating prior to graduating in 1968. After joining the Navy, Don was stationed in Alameda, CA. During that time, they got married, and Rosanne left home for the first time. While in California, they welcomed their first son, Donald. After moving back to Beaumont for Don to finish college, he got a job with Bell Helicopter in 1974, which brought them to Arlington, TX. Once there, they had Nicholas and Raun while acting as the 2nd set of parents and 2nd home for all of their many friends. Rosanne is survived by her husband, Don, brothers and sisters-in-law Tommy, Amber, Chuck, Rhonda, Rusty, Stephanie, and Nina, sons and ‘daughters' Donald, Morgan, Raun, and Emily, grandchildren Dane, Avery, Kaylin, and Lucas, nieces and nephews Regan, Natalie, Matt, Nichole, Lane, Keith, Erik, Marci, and Greg, greatniece Zoey, as well as many other relatives and close friends. She is predeceased by her son, Nicholas Provost. Rosanne lived a full life and touched so many lives during her time here on earth. Her health suffered during the last few years, but she was still more focused on everyone else's happiness and spending as much time as possible with family and friends. We know that she is no longer feeling any pain and that she is hugging Nick while smiling down on all of us right now!
