Known affectionately as Toronto Nana, Rose lived a long life and touched countless hearts. She was a beautiful, giving, lady who loved nothing more than to have family and friends around her while she cooked all their favourite meals…heaven is lucky to have this angel among them and of course her famous donuts. We Love You Nana.

The family would like to express their thanks for the wonderful care of Dr. Kathy Slinger and the many nurses at Oakville Trafalgar Hospital.
