Rose mastered many skills, from cooking, baking, sewing and knitting. She had many talents that she often didn’t recognize. She enjoyed the Women’s Auxiliary, Curling and time at The Lake. Raising five children certainly kept her busy and outside of her family, her true love was the outdoors. She could often be found working in her gardens, cutting grass, shovelling snow or enjoying very early morning coffee on the deck.
Mom’s love for her family was unconditional. She was a private person but always had time for her children and grandchildren. . She was resourceful and loved the simple things in life.
Arrangements have been entrusted to Wallace Funeral Home, 34 Sunnyside Drive, Sus. A private family service will be held at Evergreen Memorial Gardens.
Donations in memory of Rose may be made to the charity of the donor’s choice if so chosen.
The family would like to express their deepest thanks to Dr. Sunita MacMullin, Dr. Elizabeth Phillips, Dr. Kendra Gilmore and the Sus Extra Mural nursing staff for all of their exceptional care, compassion and kindness, it will never be forgotten.
Our most sincere sympathies to the family and friends of Rosalie
