Died peacefully on Friday August 26, 2022 surrounded by her loving family at Campbell House, Collingwood at the age of 80. Rose of Wasaga Beach, beloved wife of Dennis for over 55 years. Loving mother of Dennis (Danielle) and jean-Paul (Sue John). Cherished grandmother of Thane, Koby and Julia. Dear sister of Reginald, lea, Blanche, Marsha and Regeanne. Rose was a caring woman who cherished her family. She loved having everyone together for a meal and was known for her pasta sauce and her peanut butter fudge. She was a ‘goer’, staying active and always finding some way to help out. She enjoyed Bingo and has many friends from the various local games. She will be missed. Private family arrangements. If desired, a donation to Hospice Georgian Triangle Foundation, the Royal Victoria Hospital Foundation or the Collingwood General & Marine Hospital Foundation.

Collingwood General & Marine Hospital – the staff there were all super heroes. They made mom feel as if she was the only patient on the floor.
All her friends and family in her last weeks that took time out of their lives for visits, phone calls and such. Thank you all from the bottom of our hearts.

Campbell House hospice – These people at this facility from the very second my family entered their doors, treated all of us as if my mom was their mom. So much love, support, care, kindness, compassion, light hearted jokes, hugs and warm touches. We have never experienced this from total strangers in our lives.
All the staff are angels, you cared for, loved and respected the wishes of a lady that knew she was on her way out and you treated Rose like she was your mom too.
Love you all and thanks again,
The Lapierre family
