“Friends till the End” To the Family I send my heartfelt condolences. The world needs more Rosie in it! What a lovely lady. I have many memories from being friends with her kids to my first job Kentucky Fried Chicken where I had the privilege to work with Rose She was a strong figure in many lives and will be truly Missed. Rest easy my friend Love you! Christine Maybery!
Thanks Chris for your kind words. I think you girls at KFC gave her the nickname Rosie. I always thought it fun that you called her Rosie. She was a very strong woman and a good role model. She will be missed for sure!

We are saddened to hear of Rose Marie’s passing. My family has gotten to know her at Albany Retirement Village. Norm and Mary King live down the hall from Rose Marie’s room and they shared the same dining room. Rose Marie was best known for her kind, generous spirit. My first meeting with her was when she came outside with watermelon to give us, including my daughter and young grandson. She had the biggest heart for sharing ice cream and all sorts of treats with her dining mates. Rose Marie tried to warmly welcome new residents and help them orient themselves to Albany. She loved to celebrate special occasions and we now celebrate her amazing life!
What a very Beautiful tribute to Rose Marie ! The very things she will be remembered for your family experienced .Thank You so very much for these kind words . Christian Carpenter (Son in Law).
Thanks Christian
Thank you for your kind words Mom enjoyed her friends at Albany very much as did we when we came to visit Mom. We made many new friends there.
John, my deepest condolences to you on the loss of your mother. I know you were very close to her and will feel a serious loss. I would have attended the funeral home to see you in person, but am up at my cottage. Hopefully we can get together for a coffee when I return to Sarnia.
My deepest condolences to the Field’s families. I remember fondly Rose and your Dad in my childhood days in Northend Corunna. Thoughts and prayers to you all.

Our heart-felt condolences on the death of your mother, grandmother and great-grandmother. Rose was a very special lady that we had the privilege to call our neighbour and friend. The world is a little sadder with her.

Thank you Gail your kind words. we all were one big family growing up on Paget Street. So many great memories were made there 🩷.
We’re so sorry to hear of the passing of Mrs. Field. Our sincere condolences to Kim, Mark and the entire Field family
I was actually thinking of Rosemary about a month ago, wondering if she was still with us. I’m not sure why she popped into my head but I went as far as looking online to various funeral homes in the area (Knight’s being my first) wondering if I’d see her name.
Her youngest daughter, Nancy and I were best friends from Kindergarten through to about Grade 2 (after which I had moved). She was the sweetest and kindest neighbourhood mom you could ever meet. I have fond memories of hanging out at the Field’s house and they had the coolest little playhouse in their basement.
Heaven truly gained a beautiful angel (although she gained her wings many years ago for her selflessness and kindness to others).
My sincere condolences to her family and friends. She will be missed by many.
RIP Rosemary…thanks for the memories 🩷
