In Loving Memory of Rose Elsie Benoit (nee Boote). Born October 8th, 1923 in Montreal, Quebec. Passed away April 15th, 2018 at Health Sciences North, Sudbury.

Beloved daughter of Walter Boote and Maude Hill, she lived in Montreal. In 1945, she moved to Thunder Bay, later moving to Sudbury in 1984. Loving sister to Vera Symons (William), Jesse Symons (George), and Charles, all predeceased.

Rose beautified her world with gardening, plants, and flowers, and watched all these colours in her life. She loved music, played the piano, and had a great repertoire of musical lyrics. All animals were her friends.
