ROSALINE (ROSE) AMMETER We are sad to announce the passing of our sister Rose at the Carman Hospital on Sunday, June 22, 2008. Rose is survived by her brother John Ammeter, sisters Mina (Douglas) Johnson and Edith (Donald) Besant and many nieces and nephews. She was predeceased by her parents John and Emma, brothers Adolf and Ernst, sisters Mary, Hulda, Anna, Bertha, Alice and Martha. Rose was born on December 21, 1914 in Karabulach, a town in the republic of Georgia. She immigrated to Canada in 1929 and with her family, settled in Starbuck, Manitoba. She received her high school matriculation at Starbuck School but because of serious illness was unable to pursue further education. She was a devout and faithful member of Trinity Lutheran Church. Her faith and love of life sustained her through many illnesses. She won many awards at the Carman Fair for her handicraft exhibits. Rose was very involved with extended family and always kept in touch with all ages, both here, in Switzerland and the United States. She was our family chronicler and memory bank and never forgot a birthday anniversary or other family event. We will all miss her. The service will be held on Friday, June 27 at 11:00 a.m. at Trinity Lutheran Church, Starbuck, Manitoba with Pastor Deborah Moroz officiating. Viewing will take place from 10:30 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. Pallbearers will be her nieces and nephews. The family would like to thank the staff of the Boyne Lodge and Carman Hospital for their kind and compassionate care. If friends so desire, donations may be made to the Boyne Lodge, Carman, Manitoba, R0G 0J0 or to Trinity Lutheran Church, Starbuck, MB, R0G 2P0. NEIL BARDAL INC. 949-2200 nbardal.mb.ca
