1938 – 2018

Rose grew up on the farm, the only girl amongst five brothers. It was in Tisdale that she fell in love with a local boy, Jim Denomey. Rose and Jim married and moved to BC where they settled in Kamloops and raised their three children. Family was always first with Rose. She loved to watch her family having fun and would happily sit on the beach and watch them waterski or swim. She would pack up all the food and gear and camp with the family even though she despised mosquitos because she knew how much the family loved it. Rose was a very independent and athletic woman. She studied hard and received her Boiler Makers Certificate, the only woman in an all male class. Certificate in hand she eventually owned and operated her own business, Roses Dry Cleaners. She was proud to form Roses’ Ball team which brought together her love for family and ball. She loved playing ball, curling with her “Brunch Bunch” and golfing with her golf group. Rose was an avid Blue Jays fan.

Rose was predeceased by her mother, Annie Ofukany and father Steve Ofukany.
