Good-bye Grandma Rose

Obituary for Rose Shaw (pka Unrau)
by my step-uncle, et al.

We wanted to take this opportunity to thank everyone for their support and kind wishes during this time. We have taken this opportunity to include the formal notice of Mom's passing.

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Rose Marie Shaw.

Rose passed away on Friday, December 28th, 2007 after a courageous battle with cancer. Rose was born in Unity, Saskatchewan on September 23, 1935 and traveled throughout British Columbia before settling in Williams Lake in 1974. Rose worked as a licensed log scaler for the B.C. Forest Service and then Lignums Ltd. until her retirement.

Rose was predeceased by her son Brett. She is survived and greatly missed by her children Scott (Jackie), Myles (Tracy) and Janet Maher (Steve) and her grandchildren, Shawn, Brittany and James. Rose will also be missed by her stepchildren Norm, Bonnie, Sharon and their families.

The family would like thank Dr. Ann Carter and Nurse Tanya for their compassionate care.

As per Rose's request there will be no memorial service. In lieu of flowers donations can be made to the Canadian Cancer Society.

Once again thank you to everyone for their support.

Scott, Myles and Janet
