Obituary of Rosella Tatum Lee

Rosella (Rose) T. Lee, age 54, of Sedro-Woolley, Washington, passed away surrounded by family on Sunday, November 27th, 2021. Rose was born on December 6th, 1966 in Carlsbad, New Mexico to Raymond Heberling and Susan Heberling. Rose is preceded in death by her grandparents Ray and Margaret Heberling , Virginia and Bob Tatom, her sister Raelynn Heberling, and her husband Gibbers Saavedra. She is survived by her parents; her sister, Becky Vigil (Fransisco) and her kids, Wayne, Cody, Beth and Katie; Rose's kids James Pauley and his kids Austin and Travis; Jesse Pauley (Margie) and their kids Vida and Juniper; Cassie Alumbaugh and her kid Anthony. Rose also leaves behind many aunts, uncles, cousins, students, her "lost boys and girls", and many lifelong friends who she considered family. Rose was an amazingly selfless woman who made everyone feel at home. She always brought a smile to people's face and carried one herself. Her love of horses was only surpassed by the love of her grandchildren, who she spent her last 5 years encircling her life around. While everyone she knew will miss her, her grandkids suffer the greatest loss of the best grandma.
