We Remember

BAZAK, Rose

—

Rose Bazak went to be with the Lord on February 23, 2021, after a brief struggle with cancer.

Our mother, Rose, always had a mischievous twinkle in her eye and a warm smile for all who crossed her path.  She had a wonderful sense of humor that everyone loved. She loved to joke around, be silly and make everyone laugh. And we loved that about her too.

Along with her fun side, whatever situation in life she found herself in, her indomitable spirit carried her through.

She was a very hard worker and gave generously of her resources to her family and anyone in need.  She made sure everyone was always taken care of.

She loved surprises, both surprising others and being surprised.  At the drop of a hat, she would jump in her vehicle for a 1000 km road trip, to show up on your doorstep unannounced.

She loved reading, especially true-life stories.  Singing gave her great joy, even to her last moments of life.  But she really cherished spending time with others.   Of course, this meant lots of laughing, good food, and love.

Rose was an amazing example of one who never held a grudge.  She lived with an open hand, receiving, and letting go, as life’s circumstances happened.

Mom instilled in her children her values of hard work, perseverance, respect, good manners, to be loving and caring, thoughtful and compassionate. She was always there for us. We were lucky to gain mom’s silly, crazy, joking around, great sense of humor.

Thanks, Mum.  We will always love you.  See you in heaven!

She will be deeply missed by her second husband, Arnold; daughters Chris & Gloria and their spouses, sons Rich & Ron and their spouses; blessed with 14 grand-children & 9 great-grandchildren. She also is survived by her sister, Zinnia, and brother, Dave.

Predeceased by her first husband, Paul, and grandson, Ronnie.

Due to Covid, a Celebration of Life will be held at a later date.  Memorial donations may be made to Gideons or a charity of choice. https://gideons.ca/

    My condolences go out to the family of “Aunt” Rose. I met her through one of her nieces and so she became an “Aunt.” to me as well. She was a wonderful, giving person with a great sense of humour. Always ready to help. I know Rose will be missed by many.

    Auntie Rose, you were smiling or laughing so much of the time. Road trips with you, story telling late in the evening at our cottage late into the night, advice solicited or not! and just enjoying the joys of every day life. I will miss seeing “Auntie Rose” light up on my phone, but I cherish the memories and all the pictures. Till we meet again.

Testimonials

They took care of me like family.

Judith Szabo

Everything was so organized and pertinent to what we needed. Everyone we met was kind, courteous and very helpful during our emotional and challenging time. Thank you so much.

Heather Mayne

They were so prompt on answering any questions and changing things. They were prepared and respected any religious decisions. The process was so seamless and made easy in such a high stress situation.

Tanya Kohar

In the past 2 years Springfield has helped us through the death of my Mother and my Father. Their response and help allowed us to focus on the remaining family rather than worrying about details of the funeral and all the notifications that are required upon a death.

Terry Eldridge

The atmosphere has been nothing but professional during times of grief.  After the passing of my mother, the staff coached me on the next steps and looked after filling in all the government forms that I needed to sign, which took a huge burden off my mind at the time.

Donald McClure

Everyone was so helpful and kind.  There was no pressure.  They provided exactly what we needed.

Diane Greenwood

From the time I called to the completion of all the services, I received compassionate, attentive and professional care.  There was a sense of caring from each staff member.  I was turning over my Mom to their care and I felt very comfortable with everyone.  I felt heard and never felt pushed into any decision.

Katherine Lewis

I have always found the team at Springfield Funeral Home to be VERY caring, kind, considerate and helpful.  I have and will continue to recommend them to anyone who asks which funeral home would I suggest they use.  No other funeral home I have dealt with even comes close to Springfield Funeral Home.

Ethna Tutt

Right at the onset, I was made very comfortable, there was no pressure.  I was made to feel as if I was the only one they had to serve.

Frances Baum

Everything that was arranged for us was perfect.  Our loved one, husband, father, brother was treated with respect.  Thank you for making this difficult time a little more acceptable via your staff’s obvious caring and respect.
