Mom was very proud of her business accomplishments owning and operating Rose Marie Catering from 1960 to 2005 with Werner. Together they made a great team and took pride in every meal they served. The endless hours of work and organizational expertise that developed will always be cherished and admired. No job was too big and a challenge was always waiting to be accomplished. Mom was an outstanding cook and her recipes always had a "secret ingredient". This was her special touch and caring way and will be missed every day. Mom loved her family get-togethers, the special holidays and vacations with friends and family. She loved to go camping, fishing and holidaying. Every event had a special story and these memories will live on in our hearts. Mom also leaves to mourn her sister Rose Ludwick, numerous nieces, nephews, relatives and friends.

Mother You can only have one mother, Loving, kind and true, No other friend in all the world Will be so true to you. For all her love and kindness She asked nothing in return. If all the world deserted us To our Mother we could turn. For those of you who have a mother Treasure her with care, For you will never know her value Till you see that she's not there. To hear her voice To see her smile To sit and talk with her awhile To be together in the same old way Would be our dearest wish today. Gilbart Funeral Home, Selkirk in care of arrangements. www.gilbartfuneralhome.com
