  • Notes 
    • Rosalie Barbara Bossence (Jones) of Moose Jaw,formerly of Mortlach, passed away January 28, 2011 at the age of 92. Rosalie was born September 26, 1918 at home on the family horse ranch southwest of Mortlach with Mrs. Brown as the midwife, to George and Emma Jones. Rosalie began her education at Edgehill School later attending Kalamazoo School. She loved playing ball and remained friends with her teammates throughout the years. She and her husband Bill Sr. enjoyed travelling with the Rowe and Kerr families. She spent many, many hours helping with the grandchildren and the great-grandchildren and she loved them all. She was a hairdresser by trade and had a shop in her basement where she was kept busy with the ladies in the community. She loved being at the lake, and fishing was a favorite pastime. She was involved with the church all her life and it was a part of her heritage as she attended church with her family, and as she wrote in the Mortlach history book "that at the Jones family home Sunday was the Lord's day and a day of rest." She attended Zion Church four miles south of Mortlach. She will be sadly missed and as one of our nieces so wonderfully put it "Mom is now hanging out with the love of her life - our dad". Rosalie is predeceased by her parents; her husband, William Henry Bossence; five sisters; one brother and two sisters-in-law. She will be sadly missed by her sons, George (Gail), and Bill (Brenda); grandchildren Dean (Donna), Michelle (Pat) Bouchard, Jody (Kallie), Jennifer McImoyle, Cheri Kujat, Trent (Pam), Jack, Andy; many great-grandchildren as well as many nieces and nephews and special friends, the Searle family. A Celebration of Rosalie's Life will be held at W. J. Jones & Son Chapel on Thursday, February 3, 2011 at 1:30 pm. Della Ferguson will officiate. Rosalie will be laid to rest beside her husband William at Sunset Cemetery. For those wishing memorial donations can be made to the Mortlach Museum, Box 163, Mortlach, SK S0H 3E0. In living memory of Rosalie, a tree will be planted in Besant Park by W. J. Jones & Son Funeral Home. Please sign the memorial register book at website: www.wjjonesandson.com (Obituaries).
