Rose was born in Kayville, Saskatchewan on December 18, 1929 and passed away peacefully at Santa Maria nursing home in Regina on December 17, 2020. She met and married John Donison in 1950 and they were married 58 years until his passing in 2009. Rose was a stay at home wife and mother and she lovingly took care of her family and home. She enjoyed the spring season, always waiting for the first robin to arrive and tending her garden and watching her flowers and vegetables grow. Rose had a very unique and special personality. She delighted in the simple pleasures of her life. She and John enjoyed travelling and get togethers with family and friends sharing delicious meals and playing cards. Her faith was very important to her and her family meant everything to her. She was a very devoted, caring, kind and loving wife, mother, grandmother and great grandmother. Rose loved her family very, very much and she was loved very, very much by her family.  She’ll be in our hearts forever.  Rest peacefully dear mom.

She was predeceased by her husband John; her parents Elie and Annie Krasiun; brothers, Constantine, Gabriel, Dan (Marlene) and George (Luella); sisters, Mary (Dan Vilcu), Helen Tonita, Pauline (Mike Kratchkowski), Florence Kitchen and Agnes Blenner-Hasset and brother-in-law Conn Trofin.
