It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Roseann Gall (nee Ciarniello) on January 23, 2020. She passed away at home with her loving family by her side. Roseann had a great passion for life, infectious smile, and enormous love for all her family.
Born in Bagnoli Del Trigno, Italy, she came to Canada in 1954 with her mother Matilde and sister Anna, to join her father Alessandro Ciarniello, who immigrated to Canada in 1951 and settled in Powell River. Roseann graduated from Max Cameron High School and then started working for the Bank of Montreal (BMO) in Powell River. She married David Gall in January 1971 and shortly thereafter moved to Burnaby. Roseann and David built a wonderful life and family together. In addition, Roseann loved her work at BMO and enjoyed a successful career where she worked until this past December.
She leaves behind her much-devoted husband of 49 years: David Gall, her sons: Brent (Tania), Kevin and Bryan (Kira) and her beautiful grandchildren: Natalie, Brandon and Mia Rose. She is predeceased by her father: Alessandro Ciarniello and is survived by her mother: Matilde Ciarniello, sisters: Anna (Doug) Hindle, Luisa (Hugh) Gurd, brother: Jan Ciarniello, nephew: Brad (Daniela) Hindle, niece: Melissa Hindle (Ian Ricketson) and grandnephews: Gianluca & Matteo Hindle and Carter Ricketson, and sister-in-law: Patricia Purves.
Roseann was always a caring, compassionate and supportive person. She was a devoted daughter, wife, mother, grandmother, sister and friend. She loved cooking and gathering her entire family around the dinner table, who never left her place without a care package. The spring months were her favorite, as she always had a wonderful garden and took tremendous pride in her flowers. She enjoyed life to it’s fullest. She will be sorely missed!
The family would like to thank Dr. Amber Jarvie and all the doctors and nurses at Eagle Ridge and Royal Columbian Hospitals during her unexpected illness, which took her life so quickly. A prayer service will be held on Monday, February 3rd at 7:00 pm and a funeral service will be held on Tuesday, February 4th at 10:00 am, both at Holy Cross Catholic Church, 1450 Delta Ave., Burnaby. Entombment to follow at Ocean View Burial Park (South Mausoleum), 4000 Imperial St., Burnaby. Followed by a gathering at the Italian Cultural Centre, 3075 Slocan St., Vancouver at approximately 1:30 pm. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to Eagle Ridge Hospital Foundation (www.erhf.ca).
