Rose Stella (née Waechter) Schade

Rose lived with dementia at Fairview Mennonite Long Term Care for nearly 6 years. She has now succumbed to this disease and is at peace, re-united with her family in heaven.

Rose is survived and dearly missed by her children; Kenneth (Diane), Katherine (Morris) Ireland, Maureen (Don) Trask, Sharon Jansen (Jim Gilmore), Tim, Cindy (Dave) Schnarr and Charlie (Laurie Ann). She will be deeply missed by her many loving grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Wife of the late Douglas Schade (1973). Predeceased by her parents, Alexander and Michalina Waechter (Pittner), Brothers; Joseph and Charles and Sisters; Florence, Amelia and Theresa, Daughter-in-law Dorothy Schade and Grandson Daniel Trask.

Rose was a Daughter, Sister, Wife, Mother, Grandmother, Great-Grandmother, Great-Great-Grandmother and friend to many. She was a hard worker, raising her children and tending to her beautiful gardens, sharing her pride and skills with all. Mom can now trade in her wheelchair for a beautiful set of wings - “Fly high Mom, you are now free.”

The family extends special thanks to the staff of Fairview Mennonite Long Term Care for their compassionate care of Rose, whom they have affectionately named “Rosebud”. They could always get smiles out of her.
