Rose Danielson

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Rose Danielson formerly of Hurkett, Ontario at the age of 96. Rose passed away peacefully on Sunday, December 1st, 2013 at the Oakville Trafalgar Hospital. She was predeceased by her husband Hugo Danielson, her son and daughter-in-law Cecil and Joyce Briden, her daughter Christina Squier, her grandson Darryl Squier and her great-great granddaughter baby Taylor. She is survived by her daughter Valerie Danielson of Burlington and her son Wilfred (Donna) Danielson of Thunder Bay. She is also survived by nine grandchildren including Nancy (Stephen) Czigli, Sherry Locust, Jill (Monty) Corkum, Dale (Larry) Stenlund, Faron Squier, Linda (Carey) Holder, Lisa (Shayne) Copp, Keith (Vicki) Briden, Dean Briden, Darren (Luz) Briden. She is also survived by 21 great grandchildren, and 8 great-great grandchildren. Rose was born on September 21, 1917 in Dorion, Ontario where she grew up. She later moved to Hurkett with her husband Hugo. There they ran the Danielson Store and the post office and they also owned and operated a school bus. Rose loved her garden, playing Bingo and scratching lotto tickets. On any given day you could stop by and enjoy some homemade bread or scones or some of her famous pancakes. At the ripe young age of 89, Rose moved with her daughter Valerie to Oakville and decided to see the world. She travelled to Florida 3 times meeting Mickey Mouse himself. She also travelled to Ottawa for Canada Day and all throughout Southern Ontario enjoying the fresh fruit as she went. Grandma loved her babies and could always be counted on to rock them to sleep. Grandma Rosie will be sadly missed by all who had the pleasure to know her. She will remain in our hearts forever. A special thanks goes out to the staff of the Oakville Trafalgar Hospital and especially Dr. Morris. Cremation has taken place and a service will be held at a later date."
