Passed away peacefully at the Lionel Kelland Hospice, Grand Falls-Windsor, NL on Tuesday, April 7, 2026, with her family at her side, Mrs. Rosanna May (Rose) Peddle (nee Gosse), age 94.

She was predeceased by her husband, Alex; parents, Richard and Levina Gosse; brothers, George, Jim, Lloyd, Selby, Granville, and sister, Doris (Normore).

"Rose" was born on Bell Island, Nfld on Sept 12, 1931. She was the youngest of 7 siblings and a daughter, a sister, a cousin, an aunt,
a wife, a mother, a grandmother and great grandmother. After moving to Lewisporte with Alex and her family in 1964, she became a longtime member of the ACW and would often accompany the St. Paul's clergy to Glenwood and Norris Arm North churches to play the organ during the services there.

She loved her knitting and especially, the company of the pets over the years.
There are people (friends and neighbors) who cared for and supported her during the latter years of her life for whom the family is eternally grateful....from clearing snow and fixing broken water lines and clothes lines to supplying copious amounts of cat food and litter, and everything in between.

Her family would like to acknowledge the staff at Pleasantview Manor for their kindness and caring during the last months of her life.

Her family would also like to thank the staff at Lionel Kelland Hospice in Grand Falls for their amazing care and compassion during her final days on this earth.

Left to mourn her passing are her son, Gary (Myrna); daughter, Debbie (Lawrence); granddaughter, Leia (Harlan Martens); great-grandson, Michael Martens and a large circle of family and friends.
