Rose Rogers
1944-2021
Mary Rosaleta “Rose” Rogers (nee Gerrior), passed
away peacefully on Friday, December 17, 2021, at the age of 77 years.
We found out Rose had cancer in September 2021, we are grateful she
did not suffer long and was surrounded by her family at the Aberdeen
Hospital. Rose was much beloved by her husband, Robert
“Bob”; and her three children: Terri (Michael), Marilou
(Daniel) and Sandy (Jennifer) Sutherland; her grandchildren:
Christopher, Patrick, Sarah, Drew, Brea, Josef and Emily; her
great-grandchildren: Nora, Sylvia and Matty. She was predeceased by
husband, William McTague; brother, David; and sister, Marion. She will
be greatly missed by her brother, Wayne Gerrior (Doreen) and sister,
Mildred Adams (Bernie) and her many nieces, nephews and cousins. Rose
was born in New Glasgow and lived and worked her whole life in Pictou
County (Trenton, New Glasgow and Ponds). Nothing kept Rose down; she
travelled to many places near and far, was always visiting Ottawa or
Phoenix and even to Ireland a few times. This autumn, she travelled
the province with Robert to Halifax, Cape Breton and PEI. She was a
popular lady and had many, many great friends whom she adored. She
told us when she found out she had become ill that she had lived a
full life and did all she wanted to do. When
Rose passed on December 17, 2021, Covid restrictions prevented us from
having a public visitation and funeral. Our plan at
that time was to delay her committal and reception to more favourable
times. Rose’s committal service will be
held on Saturday, May 21, 2022 at 11:00am at Christ the King Cemetery,
149 Oak Street, Trenton, NS. Her entire family in Ottawa will
be coming. We invite you to join us for a reception and
celebration of her life at Saint John the Baptist Church Hall at 390
High Street, New Glasgow, following the
committal. A recording of the funeral mass
(December 2021) is available below. Donations in her memory may be
made to the Pictou County Palliative Care Society. Arrangements are
under the direction of R.H. Porter Funeral Home, New
Glasgow.
