In recent years Rose moved to Edmonton and St. Albert, AB to be near family. She was a kind, generous woman, loved by many, and maintained a wide circle of friends. After living a long, fulfilled life, Rose passed peacefully.

Was sorry to hear about Rose\’s passing. She was a wonderful friend and neighbour in Salmon Arm. My most heartfelt condolances to the family. She was one of the Grand Ladies. She will be truly missed.
Dale & Ellen Unger says
We are saddened by the loss of Rose. She was a great family friend for many years in both Hay River and Salmon Arm and was one of the reasons that we retired to Salmon Arm. We used to visit her when we came out to BC on vacation and on occasion dropped Mom (Val Unger) off to visit with Rose for a few days.
Ken and Sheila Malanchuk says
We are saddened by the news of your mom\’s passing. We both loved her very much. It was a pleasure to spend an afternoon visiting and even better if a game of bridge could be arranged. Such a Lady!
