ROSE MANGIN (nee BOULET) July 7, 1907 - June 29, 2004 Our loving God has called His faithful servant Rose, to her eternal reward. Our lives were blessed by this special lady. Rose passed away at the Lorne Memorial Hospital in Swan Lake, MB on June 29, 2004 at the age of 97 years. She leaves to cherish her memory her children, Madeleine Rheault, Arthur (Denise Beaulac), Irene Schaefer, Cecile Desrochers, Hubert (Colette Garand), Roland, Alice DeBaets (Herman) and Adrien (Patricia Vinet) 35 grandchildren, 62 great-grandchildren and five great-great-grandchildren; brothers and sisters, Emerance Pelchat, Aurore Peloquin, Norbert, Emile, Felix and Rene Boulet and many nephews, nieces, cousins and friends. She was predeceased by her husband, Albert in 1954; son Norbert (2003) grandson Gerard Rheault (1983) and sons-in-law, Guy Desrochers (1986) and Arthur Rheault (1997), three sisters and two brothers. Widowed at an early age, her strength and passion for life were an inspiration to us all. Faced with the challenges of raising her family as a single parent, Rose persevered on. Her smile, quick wit and wonderful sense of humour were a reflection of her enthusiasm for life. Rose touched the lives of many people by her gentleness, her considerate and loving nature. The sparkle in her eyes, the glow behind her smile and the warm tone of her voice were contagious, as was her zest for life. Mass of the Resurrection will be celebrated in the St. Gerards Roman Catholic Church, in Bruxelles, MB on Saturday, July 3 at 11:00 a.m. with viewing prior to service. Fr. Firmin Michiels officiating. Interment to follow in the parish cemetery.
