Rosie could speak and understand both English and French. She was delighted whenever a staff member would speak with her in French. Rosie loved flowers and was happy to receive a bouquet that was delivered to her monthly. In the summer she would pick wild flowers from the outdoors. Another favourite pastime was colouring and doing puzzles. She coloured pictures daily and presented them to the staff. Rosie was noted for her singing. She loved to sing hymns and oldies at any special events at the centre. Rosie endeared herself to all staff with her constant smile and friendly voice. She will be missed by all, and especially by her favourite nurse; Terry Skinner. Friends may leave a message on our web site www.omegafuneralhome.com Dedicated to those we serve .
