It is with great sadness that we, the family, announce the passing of Catherine Rosella (Currie) Hill at the age of 88 on Wednesday, June 22, 2016 at the Cape Breton Regional Hospital, Sydney.
Surrounded by her loving family, our mother passed through the gates of Heaven to reunite with her Loving Angel, Sharon Ann.
Born in Glace Bay, on Feb. 22, 1928, she was the daughter of the late Guy and Sarah Margaret (Saccary) Currie.
Rose enjoyed spending time with her family and friends, laughing and telling stories, she always had a beautiful smile on her face. You could always expect a cup of tea and something sweet when you entered her kitchen. She was a caring and loving person, devoted wife, mother and friend.
Rose is survived by her daughters, Colleen (Darrell) McNeil, Andrea (Victor) Tobar, Mary Rose (Daniel) Aucoin; son, Darrell ‘Boo’ (Peggy) ; sisters, Anne Cameron and Joan Piovesan; brother, Greg (Dolly) Currie and a daughter-in-law, Priscilla and special friend, Patsy Hill also surviving are 12 grandchildren, six great-grandchildren and many nieces and nephews.
Besides her parents, Rose was also predeceased by her husband, David; children, Gary, Sharon Ann and Wilfred Francis; sisters, Rita, Marg, Marie; brothers, Nash and Joe and by two lifelong friends, Margie MacPherson and Toots Geddes.
A special thanks to MacGillivray’s Guest Home for having Rose feel like a part of their family for the past four and a half years, we cannot thank you enough for loving our mother and treating her in all the special ways you did. She loved each and every one of you very much. Thanks to Fr. Rankin for his many visits and prayers.
Also thank you to the staff of the Cape Breton Regional Hospital, especially the palliative care unit who made her final days peaceful.
As per Rose’s request, there will be no visitation; cremation has taken place under the care and direction of V.J. McGillivray Funeral Home, 16 Reserve St., Glace Bay.
A funeral mass will be held at 11 a.m. on Monday, June 27, 2016 at Immaculate Conception Church, Bridgeport with Fr. Norman MacPhee officiating.

A mother’s love is a blessing
No matter where you roam
Keep them while they’re with you
You’ll miss them when they’re gone
And Ma, we will Miss You Forever
