Rose-Marie is survived by Earle her husband of 54 years, daughter Kirstie Thrush (Douglas) granddaughter Miranda Thrush, son Craig with grandson Mathew Monaco and son Sean-Kelly... sister Barbara Jensen (Keith) of Merced, California and numerous nieces. Rose-Marie was born at home on the Sugar Factory Farm in Raymond, Alberta to Steve and Julia Sera on April 29 1938. The family moved from Raymond to Picture Butte and then to Coaldale where they operated a successful Farming and Feeding Operation and where Rose-Marie received her Primary and Secondary Education. She attended Mount Royal College in Calgary and for a time attended the Nursing School at St. Michaels Hospital in Lethbridge. She worked for the Lethbridge and District Planning Commission prior to her marriage in 1962. Rose-Marie always regretted not completing her nursing so in her 40's she went back to school and attended Red River College obtaining her LPN degree. She intended to get her RN but the cancer got in the way. Rose-Marie was a people person and always tried to see the best in every individual she met. She loved her family with all her heart and soul and was an active volunteer in the Community until her health worsened. Thank you Lady we Love you.
