Rose Douville

January 28, 2025

June 12, 1932 - January 28, 2025

In loving memory ~

On January 28, 2025, our beautiful mother, Rose Douville, passed away peacefully with family by her side. Mom was born June 12, 1932, in Malvern, Arkansas, to Harry and Sarah Spencer.

As a young girl, Mom's family moved to Champion, Alberta. There, Mom met the love of her life, John Douville. They were married for 56 fabulous years, being blessed with seven children; their home was full of love and laughter. In 1969, their adventurous spirit took them to Anchorage, Alaska. There, Mom worked outside of the home for the first time in her life.

1972 saw them move back to Canada and settle in Salmon Arm on a small farm in Ranchero where Mom was able to fulfill her love of gardening. Dad passed away in 2006. In 2008, Mom moved to a house in Salmon Arm where she soon had her yard full of roses, a waterfall, and beautiful gardens.

Mom was predeceased by Dad, daughter Marie Rose, son-in-law Tom, grandsons Josh and Eric.

She will be sadly missed by her children, Judi, John (Jeanne), Linda (John), Lee, Sylvia (Claude), Michele, 11 grandchildren, 24 great-grandchildren, and 1 great-great-grandson.

A celebration of life will be held at St. Joseph's Catholic Church February 8, 2025, at 10:00 am. Arrangements in the care of Bowers Funeral Service.
