Rose was a very kind woman who was devoted entirely to her family. In her younger years she enjoyed playing hockey and softball. She was an amazing cook and also loved to crochet and work in her rock garden. She was a long-time member of the C.W.L. at Sacred Heart Catholic Church in Rossland, and the family is very grateful to the women of C.W.L. who visited mom in her last few years. Rose was incredibly generous and known to give out cold drinks, popsicles and fresh homemade loaves of bread to the neighbours and city workers in the area.
At her request, there will not be a service. Gwen Ziprick of Alternatives Funeral and Cremation Services™ has been entrusted with the arrangements. You are invited to leave a personal message of condolence by visiting the family’s register at www.myalternatives.ca
