Rose passed away on Monday, September 28, 2015 in her 93rd year. Daughter of the late Albert and Edith Gaunt (nee Gilbert). Wife of the late Oscar James Fader. Beloved Mother of Dianne (Kendell). Predeceased by her son Jim (Theresa), her brother John Gaunt and sister Jeanette. Sister of Alfred (Alberta) Gaunt and Kathleen Allan (Howard).

Albert Hoppins, Susan, Melody and Alan Gaunt, Steve and John Allan, David and Brian Gaunt and the Fader and Foster nieces and nephews.
Rose was born in Paddington, England. She met Oscar when he was stationed in England during WWII with the Royal Canadian Corps of Signals. She came to Canada in 1946 as a warbride. In the 1950's her brothers and sisters joined her in Canada and established their successful careers. Rose and Oscar made a happy home for Dianne and Jim, their friends and her family for many years at their home and cottage. They owned Hilltop Manor, a long term care home in Merrickville for 47 years, taking care of countless "grandparents" with the help of their dedicated and loyal staff, many of whom were with them for over 25 years.
The family wishes to thank Care Partners and the Smile Program for all their wonderful home support.
As per Rose's wishes cremation has taken place. A memorial service will be held at a later date. As expressions of sympathy donations to the Smiths Falls Community Hospital Foundation would be appreciated by the family. Funeral arrangements have been entrusted to the Lannin Funeral Home, Smiths Falls. Online condolences available at www.lannin.ca
