Obituary of ROSE MORAWSKI

ROSE MORAWSKI On February 5, 2015, at Concordia Hospital, our beloved Auntie Rose passed away peacefully at the age of 90, with family at her side. She was predeceased by her parents Julian and Anastasia, her sisters and brothers: Min, Julie, Walter (Ann Morris), Anne (Pat Sapiak), Stanley (Nellie Morawski), nephew Walter Morris, Bertha and brother-in-law Elmer. Rose is survived by her sister Angela. Rose will be missed by all her nieces and nephews: Marge (Noël), Betty, Ken (Val), Barbara (Jack), Patti (Elliott), Jennifer (Mike), Gerald (Joanne), Tom (Elaine), Bob (Susanne), Kathy (Bruce), Susan (Ron), Terry (Roger), Susan (Joe) and their families. Auntie Rose also enjoyed her numerous great-nieces and great-nephews whom she loved and cherished. In her early years, Rose attended Holy Ghost School and Church and in later years became a life-long parishioner of St. Alphonsus Church. She was a woman of great faith and a dedicated member of the Third Order of St. Francis. There, she volunteered her time and talents, helping the less fortunate in the downtown inner-city area. Rose’s “bakery” career started out in the 1950s at Picardy’s, at Donald and Portage. In the 60s and 70s, her career continued as supervisor of all the Safeway bakeries in Winnipeg, where she excelled in sales, in decorating and in her marvelous people skills. Rose was a loving, kind, generous person, full of life; always laughing, joking and spreading joy to all those around her. The family would like to thank the caring, compassionate staff at River East Personal Care Home for their love and support of our dear Auntie Rose, a place she called home. Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated on Friday, February 13, at 11:00 am at St. Alphonsus Roman Catholic Church, Munroe Ave. and Brazier St. with viewing starting at 10:30 am. Interment to follow later at Holy Ghost Cemetery. Donations may be made in Rose’s memory to the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Manitoba.
