Rosa was born in Arrifes, São Miguel, Açores on April 13, 1944.  She married the love of her life, Manuel Silva, on July 30, 1966.  Manuel immigrated to Canada in 1970 to set up a better life for his family and Rosa joined with her two oldest children in March 1971, where her youngest child was born 3 months later.  She worked various factory jobs to help the family live a comfortable life in Canada.  She was a caring mother, loving wife, doting grandmother and wonderful friend to whoever knew her.  She took pride in taking care of her home and family.  Her delicious home cooked meals will be remembered by all of her family.

The family would like to thank Seven Oaks Hospital staff for the care they gave her over the last week.
