Obituary of Rozalia Hanson
Surrounded by family, our mom, Rose Hanson passed away peacefully on
January 29, 2017 in Dawson Creek, B.C. just short of her 91st birthday.
Mom was born in Mundare, Alberta to John and Annie Osinchuk (Olechow) and she spent much of her youth with her grandparents, aunts and uncles in and around the Mundare area.
She had fond memories of picking morel mushrooms and various berries with her grandpa Peter Olechow – a passion that mom later shared with her children and grandchildren.
She married Erling Hanson in 1949 and had 5 children; Linda Greene, Ray (Joyce) Hanson, Leslie Hanson, Sandy (Ken) Kirtzinger and Norm (Nicole) Hanson.
She was also blessed with 13 grandchildren (Terri, Lori, Shauna, Andria, Kelvin, Darcy, Barry, Jessica, Chris, Jessica, Graham, Jennifer and Jacqui) and 25 great grandchildren.
Mom spent her days making gourmet meals and working the family farm in Farmington. She was proud of the fact that she often operated the combine, tractors and grain truck and once, while picking roots and rocks was chased onto a brush pile by a mother moose with a young calf! Dad came to her rescue with his caterpillar – a story that was often shared at family gatherings.
She was the conduit for her extended family, hosting a reunion, phoning and writing surviving aunts, uncles, cousins and friends on a regular basis.
Rose was predeceased by her husband, Erling; infant son, Leslie; and siblings Olga, Mike, Art, George and Danny. We will always love you mom, grandma and great grandma Rosie!
For friends so wishing, donations may be made in memory of Rose to the
South Peace Hospice Palliative Care Society #3, 929-106 Avenue, Dawson Creek, B.C. V1G 2N8
With respect to Rose’s wishes no formal funeral service will be held.
Very respectfully Reynars Funeral Home and Crematorium
Nos plus sincères sympathies à la famille et aux amis de Rozalia
