Wojcik's Funeral Chapel - Ferne Rose Funeral Arrangements

FERNE READE (STOVEL) ROSE (nee LOUNT) 

On September 30, 2012, at the age of 91, Ferne passed away peacefully at Riverview Health Centre. Left to cherish Ferne's memory are her son Gordon Stovel (Marylyn) of Burlington, ON; daughter Leslie Sprange (David); daughter-in-law Pat Stovel of Nanimo, BC; grandchildren Gillian Stovel Rivers, Meghan Stovel McKnight (Brent), Lindsay (Marty), Ashleigh (Paul), and Robert Sprange; great-grandchildren Sam and Ben Rivers, and Liam and Owen McKnight; as well as many nieces and nephews. She was predeceased by her first husband Gordon McDiarmid Stovel in 1966; son Robert Lount Stovel in 1973; husband Dr. Jack Rose in 1993; and brother William D. Lount in 1997. On October 31, 1920, Ferne was born to Frank and Annette Lount in Portage la Prairie. The family later moved to Winnipeg where she attended Linwood School, Riverbend School, and the University of Manitoba, while spending summers at Lake of the Woods. As a wife, mother, and Nana, Ferne was devoted to her family, friends, and community. Whether it was playing Bridge with friends, curling, golfing, or cheering on the Blue Bombers, she loved being part of the action and was passionate about enjoying life to the fullest. She loved to travel and try new things, but also cherished time spent with loved ones on the screened porch at Clearwater Bay. Ferne adored cuddling with her Scottish Terriers and took great pride in supporting all of her grandchildren in their endeavours. She will be remembered for her feisty spirit, incredible determination, and infectious laugh. A reception in honour of Ferne Rose will be held at The Wellington, 3161 Grant Ave., from 2:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. on Tuesday, October 9, 2012. Our family extends our sincere appreciation and thanks to Frieda, the staff at The Wellington, Home Instead, and Riverview Health Centre for their dedicated care and compassion. Thank you also to Mum's many special friends, your love and support provided much laughter and joyful memories. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to The Winnipeg Humane Society, 45 Hurst Way, Winnipeg, MB R3T 0R3, or to the charity of your choice.
