DE ROSA (MAGNAN), Gwenneth (nee ROUSBY) - January 2, 1927 – July 11, 2021
We are sad to announce the passing of Gwenneth DeRosa, of a stroke, with Jane and Tom at her side, at the age of 94.
Gwenneth was predeceased by her mother Marjorie Rousby (1996), her father, Arthur Edwards-Rousby (1978), and her sister Barbara (2019).
In 1948 she married William Magnan and together they raised John (Shirley), Jane (Thomas), and Andrew (Adrienne).
After our loving Dad, Bill died unexpectedly in 1987, Mum met George DeRosa, and they married in 1993, beginning their travelling adventures across Canada, and becoming familiar with just about every Tim Hortons along the way.
In addition to John, Jane, and Andrew, Gwenneth leaves grandchildren Nicole, Nicholas, and Kate, and great-grandson William (Nicole and Hans). Gwenneth enjoyed music, crossword puzzles, CNN, and television shows about animals, pointing out that they behaved better and were smarter than many humans.
Above all, Gwenneth would often say that she felt blessed by family and friends. We would like to thank Southbrook Lodge for their excellent care.
Cremation and a private family service have taken place.
