It is devastating to lose a loved one; try to take comfort in knowing that Rose Donovan was a great gift to this world as a good and kind soul, a great community supporter, renowned athlete, and a gracious lady.
I had the privilege of meeting her several times when she and Bill were out to the same social events that I had attended. She was always so sweet and loved to laugh.
To you Heather and your entire family, know that during her time on this earth which is basically the dash (1940-2023) she enriched many lives and left a loving legacy to all who knew her. Our deepest sympathies. Melody and Ron McElman

I'm so very sorry to hear of Rose's passing. I worked with Rose for many years at Minolta until her retirement. She had the best sense of humor and we always had great fun at the office. I would run into her from time to time after her retirement and she was always so busy and full of life. She was a great lady!!
My thoughts and prayers are with the family.
Best,
Andrea Davies

Sympathy to Rose's family, children and sisters . We went to Simonds together and played on many of the sport teams. Rose was a great athlete and had a good sense of humor. She maintained both skills as an adult and along with Bill, they lived very active lives.
She will be missed , but I'm sure you all have some wonderful memories of your growing up years. Keep those memories close.
