Send Flowers to the Family Offer Condolences or MemoryROSA MINA KELLY (nee DEVRIENDT) It is with great sadness that our family announces the passing of Rose Kelly, beloved wife of Joseph Kelly on Saturday, March 13, 2010 at the age of 82 years. Remaining to forever cherish Mom are her two daughters Nancy Sierhuis and Jean (Gary) Ruczak. She leaves to mourn her grandchildren: David, Trevor and Amy; her sister Mary (Mike) Stepic, as well as her sister-in-law Bernice Kominowski, brothers-in-law Stanley and Victor (Helen) Kominowski and many nieces, nephews and friends. Rose was predeceased by her parents Julia and Leon DeVriendt, as well as her brother Frank and sister-in-law Gaetane DeVriendt. Rose was born on April 21, 1927 in Oostende, Belgium and immigrated to Canada with her parents when she was two years of age. Her family settled in St. Boniface where her father established a successful business in the plastering and stucco trade. Rose married her husband Joe on June 24, 1950 and they later moved to Transcona where they celebrated 59 beautiful years of marriage. She was a very active person and they enjoyed many travel adventures together. She took great pride in her family, especially enjoying her grandchildren's accomplishments. She had a keen interest in gardening and always made sure her flowers were looking their best. The last 18 months were a tough battle for Rose. She struggled through several surgeries, but despite all of the difficulties, she never complained and her strong faith helped her persevere. She will be dearly missed by all who knew her. Sincere thanks to the many medical professionals at St. Boniface, Concordia, Grace and Seven Oaks Hospitals. A service honouring Rose's life will be held on Wednesday, March 17 at 11:00 a.m. in Coutu Funeral Chapel, 680 Archibald St. Interment will follow in the Sacred Heart Cemetery.
