We Remember
GARIN, Rosaline Jacinto “Rose”
February 18, 1980 — October 20, 2025
Born on February 18, 1980, in Laguna, Philippines, Rose Garin went to be with her Lord on October 20, 2025, at the Kelowna General Hospital, surrounded by family and friends who had been firmly advised not to be sad or to cry. She was forty-five, which she would have called “still young enough to dance to R&B, but old enough to sit down after.”
She is survived by her partner of five years, Michelle Galang, whose good humour matched her own; her siblings, Mark (Maychel) and Marilyn (Benjamin); and her nephew, Kean Carl. She will also be dearly missed by Michelle’s children, Myls and Myx, who lovingly referred to Rose as “Dada”. She was predeceased by her parents, Carlito & Yolanda, whom she loved deeply and spoke of often.
Rose was, by general agreement, a “jolly” person. Her cheer could make even a quiet afternoon seem like a joyous occasion. She was a good leader, although her method was unconventional – she preferred laughter over lectures. She liked to sit by the mooring on Lake Okanagan, where she claimed to think about life, though it was suspected she was mostly admiring the view.
She came to Canada in 2022 as a tourist, for a six-month stay in Grande Prairie, to visit family. Like many visitors before her, she fell in love with the place, or perhaps with its people, and decided to get a work visa. She joined SunRype in Kelowna, where she worked with her usual blend of diligence and cheer, and was soon known by everyone simply as Rose.
Her pleasures were simple but pursued with enthusiasm: making TikTok videos that never failed to amuse and talking about the trips she planned to take someday. She wanted no tears, only smiles, which was typical of her; an optimist who left no room for gloom, even at the end.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to BC Cancer.
To pay last respects, a viewing and Prayer Service will be held on WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 22, 2025, at SPRINGFIELD FUNERAL HOME, 2020 Springfield Road, Kelowna, BC. The viewing will begin at 3:45 pm and prayers will begin at 5:00 pm (PDT).

My deepest sympathy to the bereaved family. Thank you M’Rose for the friendship and for the laughter during our TIP days…
Mahal ko, You was more than the love of my life — you was my heart, my home, and my greatest blessing. You are such a kind, loving, and caring partner who filled our days with laughter, warmth, and joy. Your jolly spirit could lift anyone’s mood, and your smile had a way of making everything feel right again🥹
You loved our kids Myx and Myls with all you’re heart. Watching you with them — the way you played, guided, and protected them — showed me the depth of your love. Even though my heart aches without you, I find comfort in knowing how deeply we loved each other — a love that will never fade, even in you’re absence.
I will carry your love with me always Mahal ko. Your laughter, kindness, love — they live in my heart and in our kids forever.
I witness how brave you are, you have fought a good fight, you finish the race and you are now at peace 🕊️
I love you so much Mahal ko. I’m endlessly grateful to share my life with you ❤️
We miss you Ate Rose ❤️❤️❤️ Fly high 🙏
