Rose Marie Williams (nee Meconse)

Sunrise: March 8, 1947 – Sunset: May 18, 2022

It is with great sadness we advise of the passing of our dear elder Rose Marie Williams (nee Meconse). Rose passed away peacefully surrounded by love of family and friends at Lions Gate Hospital in North Vancouver. Rose was born to her late parents Isadore & Sarah (nee Cook) Meconse on March 8, 1947, in a tent on a family trap line at Etwaney Lake, Manitoba. Rose was part of what we refer to as ‘the 60’s scoop’. She grew up in La Broquerie, Manitoba and as adults she and her six siblings found each other and became very close. She went on to attend the University of Winnipeg where she studied Linguistics and was fluent in French. She worked for the Government of Canada as an interpreter, Walmart Department Store & an accountant at Squamish Nation. She loved to shop and was very fond of shoes, handbags & hats. Rose resided at Eslha7án, Mission IR No. 1 and will be fondly remembered for her beautiful sense of humour, kindness and always being respectful to everyone. She enjoyed going to Hastings Racetrack, lunches and outings with family and friends and was known to support community at all gatherings and events.

Rose is survived by her loving husband Nickolas ‘Nick’ Valentine Williams; son Robert Hugh Grant McTavish; feline Jax aka ‘Nosey’; sisters Eva Sarah Meconse Clark and Mary Ann Lizzie Mazurek (John); in-laws Rosalind Williams, Barry Williams (Elaine), Barbara Moody & Maureen Matilpi; and many loving relatives and dear friends. Family have made the following arrangements:
