Rosie Rubusky nee: Dybak, of Coronation
Rosie Rubusky passed away in the Coronation Health Care Complex Extended Care Unit on October 10, 2003 at the age of 97 years.
Rosie was born October 25, 1905 in Winnipeg, the daughter of Peter and Lena (nee Helen Tymiak) Dybak. At the age of four, the family moved to Alberta to homestead near Lena’s parents in what was to become the Hemaruka district. She attended Kinear School, helped with chores at home, worked as a hired girl, and on November 25, 1923 married Alex Rubusky. Rosie and Alex’s first years were at Alex’s homestead near Burns School, about 30 miles south of Coronation. In 1944, the family moved to the family farm ten miles south of Coronation, her home for the next 52 years. In 1996, Rosie needed the care that the Extended Care facility was best able to provide and spent her remaining years there.
Rosie was devoted to her family, immediate and extended, never passing up an opportunity to attend a family gathering or hosting one. Two memorable highlights were Rosie and Alex’s 25th and 50th wedding anniversary celebrations that brought family and friends together to share the milestones.
Always a good homemaker and cook, Ukrainian dishes would be prepared for Christmas, and other special occasions. While having the ability to sew and embroider, Rosie had a special love and talent for crocheting, winning ribbons at several Coronation fairs for her crocheted doilies.
Rosie was predeceased by her husband Alex 1976; her daughter Lenora 1928; her sons Joseph 1935 and John 1993; her grandson David Herold 1985; her mother Lena 1946; her father Peter 1972; her sisters Mary Tanaschyk 1983; Annie Bodnaruk 1987; Jennie Golanowski 2000; and her brothers John 1909, Alex 1963 and Nick 1996.
