In Celebration of

Catharine Rose

November 7, 1916 -  October 27, 2017

A remarkable woman has left us with warm memories and great wisdom. Her accomplishments were many but her gift was to listen, and then bring comfort and smiles to all. Our goal is to live the remainder of our lives, as she has lived the entirety of hers. Cal passed away peacefully at her residence on Friday, October 27, 2017 at the age of 100 years. Beloved wife of the late Frederick Arthur Rose and the late McElroy Cecil Gardiner. Dear mother to Suzanne Vanderburgh, Diane Fennell, David Gardiner and Deborah Schreiber (Gordon). Loving grandmother to nine grandchildren and fourteen great grandchildren. Cherished sister of Doreen Coleman (Roy), Bill Hutchinson (Audrian) and predeceased sisters Margaret, Marjorie, and Burnice. Friends may call at the Turner & Porter “Yorke" Chapel, 2357 Bloor St. W. (east of Jane) on Friday, November 3, 2017 from 10 a.m. until time of service in the chapel at 11 a.m. Donations to St. Joseph’s Health Centre will be gratefully appreciated.

Everyone should have an aunt like Cal. Such a role model for good grace, good character and living life to the fullest. Always interested in everything you were up to, and full of news about every member of her large family. I always looked forward to Friday night cocktails with her at Old Mill, when she would come up to visit my parents in their declining years, maintaining a comforting ritual even when conversation (and enventually her identity) was lost to them. I am sure she was granted long life to show the rest of us how to make the most of it, and she did just that. Always in my heart.
