It is with profound sadness and much love that Roberta and Roxanne announce the peaceful passing of their beloved mother, Rose, in the early evening holding her daughter's hand. She exemplified perseverance and courage all her life. While we will miss her terribly, we take comfort that she left the way she lived: with resilience, grace, dignity, and deep faith.
Mom was devastated when she lost her cherished grandson, Troy, in 1985, and her beloved son, Les, in 2016.
Left to cherish the memory of her love are her daughters, Roberta Van Wyk (Phil Beauvais) (Edmonton), and Roxanne Johanson (Ken) (Calgary). Mom treasured all of her grandchildren: Jody Munro (Svetlana), Justin Munro (Karina), Kaighen Munro (Mike), Alexander Scherger (Sarah Basciano), Connor Johanson; and great grandchildren: Alyssa, Milana, Arlo, Walker, Parker, Myah, Aria; daughter-in-laws, Dianne Martel, and Sonja Hadvick; very dear friend, Ollie Kashmar; and good friends across Canada.
Mom enjoyed a close relationship with all of her nieces and nephews, and was predeceased by all her siblings: infant brothers, Nicola and Joseph; baby sister, Theresa; brothers, Joseph, Jack, Tony, John, and Nic; sisters, Tillie, Anne, and Helen; and her loving companion of many years, John Arantes; spouses, Gerry Munro, and Robert Van Wyk.
As per her wishes, Mom's final resting place will be on the Saskatchewan prairie she so loved with Graveside Prayers in St. Andrews Cemetery at 2:00 PM on July 8, 2023 with Father Joseph Thazhathemuriyil officiating. Lunch and program to follow at Kenaston Place, Kenaston, Saskatchewan.
In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to a charity of your choice.
The family is grateful to the devoted staff at St. Thomas Care Centre- Edmonton for the compassion and tender care they showed Mom and her family throughout her stay.
