Obituary of Rosie Balsom

BALSOM, Rose (Rosie) - July 23, 1918 - October 12, 2010 - Rose slipped away into the peace and quiet of Heaven's grand old Sicily and now at the Pearly Gates Casino playing the slots with one hand, and dabbing Bingo Cards with the other! Rose is the cherished daughter of Joseph and Rose Balsom, beloved sister of Mary Chichakian and Anne Pupo, Sebastien and Joseph Balsom. The gang is back together again! Rosie will also be remembered with love by her many nieces and nephews, who will wax and wane in the nostalgia of her fun loving generosity and spirited rhetoric in the coming seasons ahead. Congratulations on 92 years of a well lived out life! Family and friends will be received at the GEORGE DARTE FUNERAL CHAPEL, 585 Carlton Street on Friday October 15, 2010 from 2-4 and 7-9 p.m. A funeral service will be held on Saturday at 10 a.m. in the chapel with interment to follow at Victoria Lawn Cemetery. In memory of Rosie, donations can be made to the Heart & Stroke Foundation
