Rose was born on February 1, 1921 in Regina, Saskatchewan where she was raised and educated. It was in Regina where she met her husband Daniel while he was stationed there with the Royal Canadian Air Force. They were married in 1943 then moved to Lethbridge where they made their home. Rose worked at the Galt Hospital and later continued her career as a secretary and bookkeeper for Sven Ericksen’s Restaurant until her retirement.

Rose was a kind, gentle and quiet lady with an unwavering faith and a great love for her family. She was respected and loved by all who knew her. Rose took great pride in her home and visitors were always met with a welcoming smile. She loved having family dinners and always took time to bake cookies for her grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

Rose and Dan had many friends who they enjoyed dining and dancing with over the years. They loved travelling which included adventures within Canada, to Europe, Hawaii and Mexico.

Rose will be sadly missed by her family and lovingly remembered by all who knew her.
