Rosie was born Thursday, September 13, 1956 in Porcupine Plains, Saskatchewan. She began her life in Dillabough, Saskatchewan, and attended school in Weeks, Saskatchewan until the beginning of grade 7 when the family moved to The Pas. Rosie completed her education in The Pas and graduated from MBCI in 1976. Rosie met Jack in 1973 and they were married on September 4, 1976. Three years later in 1979 their son Jerry was born. In her later years she went back to school and received her diploma of educational assistant from Brandon University. She also worked at the Bay, Royal Bank, Friendship Centre, TD Bank. Together with Jack, they owned and operated Broadway Confectionary for 4 years. After they sold Broadway, she began a new career as a stay at home mom for Jerry and a foster mom to many. Then Rosie began her favorite career with Kelsey School Division working at Mary Duncan, MBCI, Opasquia School and Scott Bateman where she was employed at the time of her passing. Rosie was a big sister, mother and friend to everyone and touched many lives in many ways over the years. She had a great love of garage sales, crafts, Christmas, Halloween, collecting angels, and pulling pranks on anyone she could. Her greatest loves were her husband, son and the many pets she had over the years. Lola and Bella are still waiting for her to come home as they watch for her in the window.
