elevated RKs4c It is with much love that we mourn the passing of Rose Greenan. Rose is joining her parents Ellen and Francis Greenan, brothers John, Patrick, and Francis [Frank], and sister Molly [Mary]. Rose has touched so many of our lives in such profound ways. She gave herself fully, generation after generation, playing an important role in each of our lives. She will truly be missed by her cousins, many nieces and nephews, and dear friends.

Aunt Rose , we will all miss your lovely smile, welcoming arms and generous warmth but especially your love. You made all of our lives better just to have known you; not only your family but all the students whose lives you enriched as well. We all wish there were more people like you. Thank you. Rest in the Arms of God with your family. Love Katherine. P.S. Your age is now not the second best family secret!
My condolences to all hearts you have touched including my heart
RIP
Thank you
How lovely Katherine.
Love Kelly
May are hearts be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as we celebrate a life well lived.
When I think of Christmas I think of Rose and the house full of family she had brought together when I was young.
Rest in Pease Rose
Well said!
Rose, you were a constant throughout my life. At many key junctures it was yourself and France, and or Molly that were hosting or attending and celebrating.
I recall so many times when you tried to educate me on the cultural significance of track & field competitions, or horse racing.
I will miss your exuberance for life and the Force of Nature that you were.
These are lovely memories that you will have forever.
Love Kelly
Remembering Rose fondly and her many gifts. Her reading the Word at
Mass at Canadian Martyrs brought Scripture to life. . A very nice lady. Happy to have known her. She loved her family and we express our sympathies at her death. May the happy memories you created together as a family bring you comfort in the days ahead.
Dear Bill and Cathy,
Thank you for your wishes for our family.
Kelly and Michele
Dear Rose, where do I begin??
I have so many fond memories of you from the time I was little taking me to the Ballet, buying me “Sweet Marie ” chocolate bars when driving me home, attending numerous milestones throughout the years for me and my children.
But more importantly, the warm and loving nature and unconditional grace and kindness that you bestowed on all of us, all of the time.
Please know you will be greatly missed and fondly held in my heart always. Much Love, Rosemary
Dear Rose,
Visiting you at your home when I was young has always been such fond memories for me! I remember lucky elephants, reading tea leaves and kindness and laughter! You were always full of light and positivity. May we all be blessed with a long life so full of grace and love. You are an inspiration.
Madeleine, what beautiful memories you have.
Kelly
Rosemary, thank you for all of the support during these time.

Your memory will always live on the the hearts of all those you touched. Our deepest sympathies to all of the family.

Ms Greenan may you rest in peace. You were a wonderful teacher. I was one of those students who loved to talk. You moved me beside your desk. I would talk to you instead. What a pain I was. You were a wonderful teacher and mentor.
Ah, sitting beside the teacher. I do this as well to get to know the students. How lovely that she was a positive role model for you.
Kelly
Remembering Rose fondly. It’s been some time since we sat down together but I remember many days spent speaking to her and France. They always treated and spoke to me as though I was much older. Which I appreciated very much as a child.
I always enjoyed those conversations and the encouragement they gave me.
As I grew older she was always present at all my big occasions. She even spent part of a summer helping me catch up in my studies.
I will miss her positivity and kindness that she always shared with myself and my family.
Ryan, I never knew this. She was always the teacher. Yes, Rose always knew what to say.
Kelly
My condolences to you all. I enjoyed having tea with Rose. Sending my love to you all.
God Bless xo
Thank you Vickie. Yes we had some enjoyable times at afternoon tea.
Rose was a special soul. Just reading the messages here, she has touched the lives of many. Always smiling, always happy, always positive – this is how I will remember you. Keeping you in my heart forever.
Yes, Anthony, I agree with you. What a lovely memory to hold in your heart.
Kelly
