It is with a deep sadness that we announce Rose Marie Holmes left this world Saturday August 8th at 7:10pm. She drew her last peaceful breath at Matthews House in Alliston.
Loving daughter to June and Doug Melson, younger sister to Terri (Radley) and older sister to Ken Melson and Carla (Hounsome).
She is survived by her incredibly loving husband Jim & son Marc.
Rose was born, raised, and married in Barrie, Ontario. The definition of a ‘Barrie girl’ she also gave birth, raised a family, and lived out her years in her hometown.
She will be remembered by those who knew her well for her kindness, and thoughtfulness.
She had an eye for decor, a green thumb, and made THE BEST Rice Krispies treats.
She drove the speed limit, never broke a law, and paid all her taxes. An ideal citizen, amazing mother and loyal wife, she is dearly missed by all those whose lives she touched.
The family would like to thank Matthews House for making her last few days as comfortable as possible and encourage private donations to this amazing Hospice.
