It is with great sadness that Rose’s family announces her passing Friday, June 10, 2011 at St. Anthony’s Hospital, The Pas, Manitoba, at the age of 74 years. Rose was born Wednesday, January 27, 1937, at the Flin Flon General Hospital, Flin Flon, Manitoba to Annabella and James Jewels. Rose’s family moved to The Pas when she was a young girl. There she met and married the love of her life George. One of Rose’s first jobs was alongside her sisters at Clean Rite Cleaners, then the trio eventually moved on to Rice’s Bakery, where Rose was known best for her smile that greeted you when you walked in. Once Rice’s Bakery closed, Rose went to work for Karen Mathieu’s at the MBCI Cafeteria until 1983. After taking a short break, Rose went on to work in the Produce Department at A&B Grocers for Anne and Bob Jackson where she stayed until she retired in 1988. Once she retired, Rose enjoyed looking after her grandchildren, playing board games, baking, making snowmen and even sliding down the snow hills at the farm. Rose also enjoyed her afternoons with her sisters Flo and Ann; shopping and stopping for coffee at Tim Hortons. They became known as the “Trio Sisters” to many. Rose leaves to mourn, sons Gordon Robert (Fay), Gary (Maria); daughter Karen (Mark) Howell; brothers and sisters Richard Jewels (Winnipeg), Joseph (Shirley) Jewels (OCN), Florence Fourre (Charlie Lavallee), Annabelle (Albert) Lafontaine, Mabel Rall, Verna Ranville all of The Pas; Caroline McAuley (Alberta), Mary Lombardo (Florida); grandchildren and great grandchildren Ryan, Naithan, Fawn, Gage, Taylor, Marno, Roberta (Frank), Jay, Brendan, Julie, Justin, Dawson and Alexis; sisters-in-law; brothers-in-law and many nieces and nephews.
