Rose Victoria CLIFFORD

GIBSON, Rose Victoria In Carleton Place, Ontario, on Saturday October 13, 2007, in her 92nd year. It is with profound sadness and sweet sorrow that we announce the passing of our mother, grandmother, great-grandmother and friend, Rose Victoria Gibson (nee Clifford), peacefully at home with her family by her side. She was the cherished wife, friend, and partner of 65 years to the late Hubert James Gibson. She will remain forever a glowing example of abiding love, strength, courage, genuine caring, kindness, compassion and truth. Her values and example are a torch within the hearts of her children and her children's children, to be carried and passed with respect and dignity. She left this world with grace, embracing all for their special qualities, still teaching life's precious lessons as she walked her final journey. Mom, Nanny - you are our "Wild Irish Rose". Your gift we will cherish and honour forever. Thank you for the privilege of being in your circle. A special thank you to Dr. Scott Higham for his professionalism and devotion. To the nursing staff of the community Access Centre, especially Allison, Jennifer, Dean. Dearly loved mother of Linda and Eleanor. Caring and beautiful grandmother, Nanny of Leigh, Tanya, Tara, Joshua, Meaghan, Hannah and Jordan. Playful and tender great-grandmother "grand-nanny" of Jesse, Zachary and Morganne. Survived by many nieces and nephews. Pre-deceased by her siblings and their spouses, George (Jean), James (Marion), Helen (Ed). Friends may call at the 19 McArthur Ave., Carleton Place on Tuesday 2-4 and 7-9 p.m. At her request, there will be a private memorial service for the family only. Donations to CNIB or the charity of ones choice would be appreciated by the family. Published in the Ottawa Citizen from 10/15/2007 - 10/16/2007
