Rosemary was born on November 8, 1924 in Toronto, Ontario. A proud graduate of St. Michael’s College at the University of Toronto, she lived her life in a spirit of faith, optimism, and hospitality. Perhaps her greatest gift was her legendary devotion to her children, in-laws, and grandchildren, whom she loved and supported without reservation.

Rosemary was also a very proud aunt to the many nieces and nephews of her extended family. To the very end, she was an inspiring woman who kept her grace and style, her sharp wit, and her love of music and sports. Her family will miss her deeply, and carry hearts full of gratitude for all the love she gave.

Special thanks to the staff of Canterbury Place.
