ROSALIE ANNE GARDINER (Ferigo)
May 10, 1943 – January 26, 2021
It is with great sadness that the family of Rose Gardiner announces the passing of their beloved Mom, Noni (Grandmother), Sister, Sister –in law, Aunt, Cousin and Friend.
Rose passed away in her 78th year on Tuesday January 26th , 2021. She was surrounded by her son and his family as well as the fantastic caregivers at St. Joeseph’s Complex Care in Guelph and previously the Guelph General Hospital.
Rose passed peacefully and will be sadly missed. Beloved wife of the late Mike Gardiner. Much Loved mother of Michael Ferigo (Willa-Lyn), bonus Mom to Tony Gardiner(Vaughn) and Larry Gardiner. Proud and loving Noni to Brandon and Taylor Ferigo and Genvieve Gardiner. Devoted sister to Pat Smetana (John), Janet Muldoon (Fred). Predeceased by her brother, Leo Ferigo, she was cherished by her sister in-law, Joanne Ferigo (Giovanni). Dear Aunt to Dena (Jon), Jamie (Lesley), Gregory (Erin), Lindsay (Chris) and Great Aunt to Shaley, Shane, Carter, Reagan, Nolan, Isabelle, Logan, Marcus and Kayla. Wonderful friend, cousin and caregiver, Corky Odorico, will miss her dearly. Coming from a large Italian family she will also be greatly missed by the Scimes, Mascarins and the rest of the Odorico clan.
The “Mon Amis Club” Joyce Bovaird, Jean Thachuk, Fran Ball, Doris Dupont and Mary-Lou Legault will definitely miss Rose’s presence at the card table. The bingo halls won’t be the same without her multitude of cards and superb dabbing skills.
Special thanks to Joyce for her love and care of Rose’s fur baby, Lacey. She will rest peacefully knowing that Lacey will continue to receive that love and care after she is gone.
Rose loved her family, playing cards and all the years spent down in the Sunny South with her friends and family. She had an infectious and contagious laugh and she will remain in our memories forever.
Rose was born in Hamilton and spent all of her working years employed by Imperial Tobacco retiring in 1999. She met the love of her life there and can now, once again, be reunited with Mike to golf and cruise to their hearts’ content.
Cremation will take place and a family gathering and celebration of Rose’s life will be held at a later date when we can all safely be together. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Canadian Cancer Society or to the Guelph Minor Football Association (jrgryphs.gmfa@gmail.com)
