Rose Good

With sad hearts we announce the passing of ROSE ELIZABETH GOOD, our ""Nan"", at the age of 84. She went to be with her Lord Jesus Christ on Friday, April 20, 2012 with her family at her bedside. She was predeceased in June 2011 by her best friend and beloved husband of 67 years, Howard Campbell Good.

Born in Hungary, she immigrated to Lethbridge with her parents and two siblings when she was two years old. At 16 years of age she met the love of her life, Howard, and they were married within the year. Lethbridge was home for most of her and Howard's life. In their sunset years they moved to White Rock B.C. to be close to family. She had seven years to enjoy being close to her son Derek and his family as well as to enjoy the ocean, the mountains, the greenery, and most of all the flowers.

Mom devoted herself to her husband and her family and her talents and gifts as a homemaker were hard to surpass. Her cooking, baking and home decorating skills gave her such enjoyment which was felt by all. She was a beautiful person both inside and out. She had a kind and gentle spirit and was compassionate and thoughtful of other people's feelings and needs. She was a good listener and could easily talk with strangers and turn them into a friend.

She is survived by her three children, Sherrie Stupak ( Bill), Calgary, Alberta; June Elliott ( Bill), Cranbrook, B.C.; Derek Good (Kathe) Abbotsford, B.C.. She is also survived by grandchildren Cindee Paskevich, Christian Taylor, Mark Elliott, Nicole Fulton, Lauren Teichroeb, Brynn Kennedy and Drew Good as well as six great grandchildren, Hayley, Matthew, Holly, Mackenzie, Breelin and Brighten- Rose. She was one of seven children born to Steve and Rose Pocza . She was predeceased by her brothers and sisters, Helen, Chester, Steve, Margaret, Vivian and Agnes.

A Funeral Service will be held at 11:00am on Saturday, April 28, 2012 the RIVER OF LIFE COMMUNITY CHURCH, 2820 - 18 Ave North, Lethbridge, with Dr. Bill Calderwood officiating.

In lieu of flowers, it was her request that a donation be made to The Gideon's International In Canada, P.O. Box 3619, Guelph, ON N1H 7A2, as both she and Howard generously supported their work.
