A committal service will be held at 1 pm, on Tuesday, February 11th, 2025, at the Prairie Cemetery in Prairie Idaho.
Roseta was born on April 9th, 1941 in Boise, Idaho to parents Irving A. and Jessie May (Shaffer) Proshold and joined her older sister Barbara (1936) and older brother Fred (1939). Roseta grew up in Mayfield, Idaho on the family farm. She attended school in Mayfield and then graduated from Mountain Home High School in 1959.
On June 13th, 1959 Roseta married Ronald Eugene Davison and they began their 65 years of marriage on the ranch in Prairie, Idaho. They were happy to welcome Randy Gene (1960), Sandra Rose (1962), Kenneth Jay (1968), and Philip Ray (1971) to their family.
Roseta thoroughly enjoyed living and working alongside her family on the ranch and later at Treasure Valley Livestock Auction in Caldwell, Idaho. Roseta was a member of the Prairie School Board for several years also holding the position of Clerk. Whatever Roseta was doing, she took pride in working hard and in doing her best to do a good job.
Throughout her life, Roseta loved riding her horses and chasing cattle, reading, playing cards, laughing, dancing, and having family parties. Roseta and Ron enjoyed trips and traveling with family and friends, as well as traveling for the work Ron did through TVLA, Western Video Market, Western Livestock Tours, and the Idaho Beef Council.
Roseta was a special daughter, sister, wife, mother, aunt, grandma, great-grandma, and friend. She will lovingly be remembered for her love for her family, work ethic, sense of humor, honesty, quick wit, and of course for her cinnamon rolls.
Roseta was preceded in death by her parents, Irving and Jessie, stepfather Jim Tindall, brother Fred, in-laws Lawrence and Helen, brother-in-law Elmer Ireland, and nephews Walt Ireland, Buford Ireland, and Terry Russell.
She is survived by her husband of 65 years Ron, children Randy (Sandy), Sandy (Neil) Helmick, Kenny (Michele), Philip (Christie), 10 grandchildren Clint (Dolores), Tonya, Clay (Victoria), Darcy (Cole), Chad (Sarah), Erik (Amanda), Hannah, Sierra (Skyler), Derick (Ellie), Beau (Megann), 17 great-grandchildren with 2 more on the way, sister Barb Ireland, in-laws Faye and Gene Russell and Bill and Jackie Davison, and her close nieces and nephews.
