Rose Temple


Rose Temple, born March 6, 1911, passed away on Saturday, December 17, 2011 at the age of 100 years. Rose was a person who was always busy. She and her husband Jake farmed in Maxim until 1956 when they moved to Weyburn where they spent the next 10 years. They again moved, in 1971, to B.C. where Rose worked at various jobs. Rose and Jake then moved to Calgary, AB, where they spent a number of years. She was a wonderful seamstress and did a lot of crafts, when there was a new craft out she made it. These included many sock monkeys, and paper toll pictures. Rose spent a lot of time with her grandchildren, taking them to Calgary, AB and British Columbia. In 2002 she moved back to Weyburn and lived at Bison Manor for four years before moving in to Tatagwa View where she remained until her death. She will be lovingly remembered by her children: sons, Donald (Dene) Temple and Alvin (Elizabeth) Temple; daughters, Joyce (Howard) Olson and Dorothy Doud; many grandchildren, great grandchildren and great-great grandchildren; as well as many friends and other relatives. A funeral service was held on Wednesday, December 21 at 2:00 P.M. from Fletcher Funeral Chapels, Weyburn with Tracy Colwill and Annette Beach speaking.
