Rosalia Sophia Schmidt
Rosalia Sophia Schmidt (Kot) passed away with family by her side at the age of 90 on Tuesday, August 15, 2006 after a courageous battle with cancer. Rose was born on the farm at Prelate on April 20, 1916. She was the third oldest child of George and Maryanna Kot. The family moved to the farm west of McTaggart when she was four. She grew up with her six brothers and four sisters. At the age of eight, she started school at Muckamore, a mile west of the home place. She took her Grade 8 in McTaggart. After leaving school, she worked for various neighbors helping with household chores and she also worked at home with her parents. Rose could pretty much handle every job on the farm-from looking after her younger brothers and sisters to working in the field for her father where she drove as many as eight horses. On April 22, 1940 she married John George Schmidt from McTaggart, SK. They farmed in the Tagg School District and also worked for John Vogel, mom's brother-in-law. In 1942, they bought the farm east of Trossachs and lived there until 1953 when they moved to Trossachs and farmed from town. They raised cattle, horses, pigs and chickens and Rose always had a big garden to help keep food on the table. Mom and dad also liked to travel in their retirement years. They went to Alaska and down the west coast traveling by bus. In 1976, they bought a new car and traveled to Ohio and on down the east coast to Florida through Texas and over to New Mexico and back home. They also had one plane trip to Winnipeg in 1976 to attend the Woman's Canadian Curling Championship in which their daughter, Delores was curling in. Mom was a hard working housewife who kept a garden, milked cows, made her own butter, baked the best homemade bread ever and made sausage, homemade noodles and canned food. She did all her own sewing and made clothes for herself and the kids until she was well into her late 70's on her old Singer treadle sewing machine. When she was younger she crocheted and knitted and in her later years she saved all the old wool socks and made quilts for all of the grandchildren. When it came time to cook she always made more than enough and if you left the table hungry it was your own fault. One of her favorite things was to ask you if you wanted some more while she was dumping it on your plate, so you had no choice but to eat it. No one was ever turned away at meal time and many a salesman left the house with a full stomach but usually never made a sale on whatever he was selling. When Rose made up her mind she was going to do a certain task you had better get our of her way or better yet, just help her because otherwise, she would work right over top of you and never quit until she was done. Rose was a caring wife, mother and grandmother who lived for her family, and often went without things just so that others could have something. She was definitely not a selfish person. Rose and John had four children: Delores, Reginald, Garnet and Randy. All of them grew up and lived not too far from home. Reg passed away in 1971 from cancer. This was a pretty hard blow to mom but she was able to deal with it as she had her special way of handling things like that. It was the same when dad died. Rose always loved to look after the grandchildren and spoiled them all with lots of candy and food, clothes and love and attention. After dad's death in 1990 mom lived at home in Trossachs with Garnet and in 1996 she moved into Bison Manor and lived there until moving to the Weyburn Special Care home. She recovered fully from two major surgeries in the fall of 2005. She continued to live at the home where the staff always gave her lots of attention. Rose was predeceased by her parents, George and Marianna Kot; in-laws John and Margaret Schmidt; husband, John George Schmidt; son, Reginald; sisters: Mary Vogel and her husband, John, Annie Azevado and her husbands John (Bud) McGough and Manual Azevado; sisters-in-law: Rose Vogel (Max), Renee Ortman and husbands Joseph Schmidt and Jacob Ortman, Helen Schmidt, Anna Meek and Bridget Kot; her brothers: John S. Kot, Gregory and his wife, Adella; and her brothers-in-law: Frank, Stephan and Philip Schmidt, David Propp, John Bauer and Joe Schmidt.
