August 12, 1927 - February 18, 2024
We are saddened by the passing of Rowland William Taylor Money. Born August 12, 1927, in Vancouver, BC. Rowland worked in banking, insurance, and dry cleaning. He married Anna Mae Scheldrup in 1954 and they raised three children. Rowland was predeceased by Anna Mae in 1987, his father William in 1991, his mother Dorothy in 1973 and his sister Jocelyn in 1999. In 1987 Rowland met Sandra Sharkey and they spent 36 happy years together. Rowland had a great tenor voice and sang with local groups and at care homes on the Sunshine Coast. Rowland and Sandra loved to travel, entertain family and friends at their waterfront home in Sandy Hook and, more than anything, loved to dance. He enjoyed downhill and water skiing, scuba diving, riding his jet ski in the inlet and spending summer evenings on the dock with family and friends. Rowland also tried hang gliding and had great fun travelling on his motorcycle. He skied up until the age of 85, zip trekked in Hawaii at 88 and went on his last international trip to Croatia with Sandra in 2018. Left to grieve are his loving wife Sandra, his children David (Anne), Diane (Lyle) and Donna, his grandchildren Jorden (Chris), Cara (Cody), Laura (James) and Kyle (Julia), his great grandchildren, Thomas and Jacob and his nephew Mark. Our sincere appreciation to the caring men and women of Sechelt Hospital, Silverstone Care Centre and especially Dr Sara Nouh. A Celebration of Life will be held at a later date.
