Rosemaire Lola Obituary (1967 - 2012)

WINTHROP -- Rosemaire 'Rose' Lola, 44, of U.S. Route 202, died unexpectedly on Friday, Aug. 3, 2012, in Winthrop. Though her life on Earth was cut short, her new life with God is just beginning. Rosemaire was a devoted wife, mother, daughter, grandmother and friend. She enjoyed creating a place of her own to read and write in her journal by planting flowers in her garden. She enjoyed spending time at the ocean with her family and collecting rocks. She loved getting away to her 'little piece of heaven,' her family camp in Jackman, painting rocks and making camp like home. Rose was born on Oct. 25, 1967, in Portland, and was raised by Ethel and James McHugh, in East Hartford, Conn. Later in life, God led her to her biological mother and stepfather, Carol and Donald Prendergast, of Yamhill, Ore. She was predeceased by her parents, Ethel and James McHugh, of North Monmouth; and several aunts and uncles. Rosemaire is survived by her loving husband, Darrell Lola, of Winthrop; a son, Joshua Lola, of Winthrop; daughters Jennifer Lola, of Winthrop, and Melinda Oehme, of Mechanic Falls; two brothers, Matthew Day, of Houston Texas, and Dennis McHugh, of North Monmouth; five grandsons, Tucker Lola-Smith, of Winthrop, Robert Oehme, of Mechanic Falls, and Hunter Oehme, Conner Oehme and Jonah Oehme, all of Mechanic Falls; and her loving parents, Carol and Donald Prendergast, of Yamhill, Ore. Also several nieces, nephews, cousins, aunts and uncles. Rose's indomitable spirit encouraged her family and friends to persist in the face of many struggles. She will be greatly missed but never forgotten. Visiting will take place from 2 to 4 p.m. Wednesday, Aug. 8, at Roberts Funeral Home, 62 Bowdoin St., Winthrop, where condolences, memories and photos may be shared with the family on the obituary page of the website at www.khrfuneralhomes.com.
