November 20, 1946 - November 10, 2024
In Loving Memory ~
It is with great sadness that we announce the sudden passing of our beloved Sister and Aunt, Rose Lund on November 10, 2024, in Revelstoke, BC. Rose was born November 20, 1946 in Salmon Arm BC, a gentle soul, she lived a life with quiet joy and selfless dedication.
In her earlier years Rose enjoyed traveling to the prairies with her grandparents, creating cherished memories. She spent much of her career as a clerk with the CPR, retiring after many years of dedicated service. In her retirement, she helped with the caring of our parents.
Her most fulfilling job came later in life, working with senior citizens. Rose found immense joy and pride in assisting others, a passion she carried with her until the very day before her passing. Her kindness and commitment were recognized when she was honored as Citizen of the Year in 2004 --- a moment she held dear.
Rose cherished weekends spent at the farm, enjoying teas and suppers with family. She loved watching the cattle in the fields, observing the birds, and marveling at the deer - and occasionally a bear that wandered through the yard. She delighted in petting the farm cats Muffin and Taz and was always thrilled to bring home fresh garden goodies, helping to can fruit and make jam.
In her quiet moments, Rose enjoyed crossword puzzles and working on various projects. She found beauty in the simple things and happiness in helping those around her.
The family would like to extend heartful thanks to the doctors and nursers who cared for Rose in her final moments---you provided exceptional care and compassion. Special thanks to Dr. MacDonald for your unwavering support through her life. We are especially grateful to Dorothy and Sharon for being there on Saturday. Your presence and kindness mean more than words can express.
Rose was predeceased by her parents, Norman and Rose Lund.
She is survived by her sister Joy (Walter) Cwikula and their children Darren (Teresa) Bezanson, Mark Bezanson, Donna (Phil), Bob, Kerry, Christopher and Ben (Kristy). She is also survived by her brothers; Norm (Jennie) Lund and their children Jeff (Megan) and their children Ava and Lincoln; Sandi (Herb) Spiedel and their children Hannah and Haley and brother Robert "Bob" Lund.
Additionally, Rose is remembered fondly by her Aunt Edie (David) Singer, her cousins Bill (Nicole) Singer and their children Kayden & Jordan, Tim (Patti) Singer and their son Danny. Roger (Loree) Laurilla, and many other cousins.
Rose had many friends, including Dorothy Bouchard, Carol Thompson, Sharon Bennett, Glen, Nellie and Kyle Richardson, Kunio Hashimoto, and June Tamara. She also adored Muffin and Taz, the beloved farm kittens.
Rose's legacy is one of kindness, service, and love. She touched countless lives and will be deeply missed by her family, friends and everyone fortunate enough to have known her.
