Originally from Colombo, Sri Lanka and more recently of Jamboree Heights, our beloved Rose passed away peacefully on Friday, 10th October 2025 at Canossa Private Hospital, Oxley. She was surrounded by her loving family, just as she had always surrounded them with love throughout her life. Rose was 77 years young.
She leaves behind her devoted husband and soulmate, Matthew, and her much-loved children, Donna, Matthew, and Joseph, along with their partners who were like her own.
To her grandchildren – Kailey, Patrick, Eva, and Claudia – she was affectionately known as Archa. The bond she shared with each of them was truly special, the kind of love only a grandmother can give, and one they will carry with them always.
Rose’s family would like to express their heartfelt gratitude to the compassionate Doctors, Nurses, and Support Teams at Mater Hospital, Jindalee Medical Centre, and Canossa Private Hospital. Their care and kindness brought peace and comfort in her final days, and we are deeply thankful.
A celebration of Rose’s life will be held with a Mass at: Twelve Apostles Catholic Church 111 Yallambee Road, Jindalee. Wednesday, 15 October 2025
