Obituary Rose Marie Gross
Beloved wife of the late Frank Gross (Aug 31, 1986). Loving mother of Paul Gross (Betty), Gloria Montserin (Tim) and Maggie Gross; grandmother to Jessica Bayne (Ryan), David Gross (Kelly), Rosanne Raso (Scott), Marie-Clare Gross-Torres (Bruno Torres), Hope Gross and great-grandmother to Celina and Alexander Gross, Samuel and Sergio Torres and Teagan Raso.
Predeceased by parents Jack and Hazel Vincent, both younger brothers and spouses, John (Jean Schramm) and David Vincent (Beverley Vincent). Survived by nieces Jayne Boudreau (Cal) and Lisa Vincent (great-nieces Saigha, Chloe), first cousins Chris Caselton of Menominee, MI and Anita Jenssen of Minneapolis, MN.
After graduating from Normal School in Peterborough in 1950, Rose Marie moved to Kitchener and taught at St. Mary's Elementary. She met Frank Gross at a dance, and they married in 1952. She continued to supply teach after starting a family, then full time at St. Paul's and Sacred Heart schools in 1965-67 while her husband established Frank's Produce. She assisted with bookkeeping for the business.
She golfed for exercise, not the perfection of it. She loved swimming from early days in the Trent Canal down the street from home in Peterborough and summers on Buckhorn Lake and later in the backyard pool. She loved getting together with friends and played Bridge until 2016. She developed a love of travel and journeyed throughout Europe, and the Americas. Her last trip in her 80's was to the Holy Land.
Rose Marie was a woman of faith, serving over 60 years as a member of the Catholic Women's League of Canada, a longtime participant in her small faith group and found a church on every vacation, even by hour long bus ride, Cuba 1999.
