ROSE AUDREY KOTAK

(NEE MAZUR)

November 19, 1932 – March 5, 2020

Peacefully, Rose passed away at the Grace Hospice at the age of 87 years.

Born in Medika, MB, Rose leaves to cherish her memory, children Rick (Natalie), Susan Mazur, Brian (Michelle); granddaughters, Caitlin Kotak and Brianna Kotak; sister Nettie Pawling (Kingston, ON), and numerous nephews and nieces. Mom was predeceased by her husband Bill in September 1997 and her sister Marilyn France in December 2010.

Mom and Dad were married October 19, 1957. She initially stayed at home with her children, and later worked at The Bay credit office for 18 years, retiring in 1987. As a family, we enjoyed camping and learning to love nature, boating and fishing. She enjoyed nature through gardening and her flowerbeds. In retirement they travelled abroad. After Dad’s passing, Mom fulfilled her dream to make a pilgrimage to the Holy Land and to revisit Ireland with Aunt Nettie.

Mom was a faithful parishioner of Our Lady of Perpetual Help Church, a member of the CWL since 1957, and served in various ministries. She was a proud founding member of the Charleswood Seniors Centre.
