CRANE, Rose Marie
With profound sadness and heavy hearts we announce our cherished Rose passed away with family at her side on Sunday, April 24, 2022. Rosie shared her life with family and friends in Ontario and Cape Breton, for the last while living with her brother, Bob (Julia) in Newmarket, ON. Rosie was an accomplished business woman with several businesses and was an award winning Real Estate Agent.
She enjoyed life to its fullest, riding horses (with many trophies), running, music, dancing, concerts, travel and time with family and friends. Rosie’s beauty glowed, both inside and out, she shared her love and support for others willingly and graciously. She believed you could never do enough for animal rescue (her pets were either abandoned or strays), helping
people, friends, and even strangers. She was never shy to start up a conversation with anyone, share an opinion, tell a funny story, pat or cuddle any animal. Our beloved Rosie was recently diagnosed with the debilitating disease MSA that took her far too soon. There is not a lot known about this disease and Rosie was planning to shine a light on it to promote research and earlier detection. Rosie was a loving and generous person. An organ donor in death, she
gave life and a second chance to a number of people she didn’t even know. Rosie was born in Sydney, NS. She was predeceased by her loving parents, Walter A. Crane and Philomena “Phyllis” (Ryan) Crane and siblings, Bonnie Crane and Walter P. Crane. Left with
treasured memories are her sisters, Barbara (Bob) Cowieson, ON, Sharon Crane (Billy Mackinnon), Cape Breton and Darlene (Tommy) Morris, Cape Breton; brother, Bob (Julia) Crane, ON; sister-in-law, Fran Crane, Cape Breton; niece, Monica (Darrell) Crane-spracklin, AB; nephews, Scott (Jen) Cowieson, ON, Ryan Cowieson, ON and Riley (Mallory) Morris, NL. Visitation will take place at Sydney Memorial Chapel on Friday May 13 from 4-7 p.m. A funeral service will be held in the chapel on Saturday May 14 at 11 a.m. In honour of Rosie, as she would, please do an act of kindness and/or donation to a charity of choice. Words of comfort can be sent to the family at www.sydneymemorialchape l.ca or e-mail sydneymemorialchapel@ns.sympatico.ca. Rosie’s life was a blessing, her memory a treasure. She is loved beyond words and missed beyond measure. We Love you Rosie.
