Rose Frances (Weigel) Spratt

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our Mom, Rose Frances (Weigel) Spratt. She passed away peacefully, surrounded by her loving family, on Saturday January 11 in the Davidson Health Center. Rose was 98 years old.

Rose was the oldest of 7 children born to Tony and Theresa Weigel. While working in Davidson she met Bruce Spratt and they were married in 1951. They welcomed 3 children to the family, Callie, Harry and Janet. Rose was widowed in 1963 when Bruce suddenly died of a heart attack. Rose’s strong faith and strength of character gave her the courage to move her family to Davidson from the farm south of town and settle into her home on Hamilton St.

Rose’s home was always a place of great love and friendship. She always enjoyed a joke and a good laugh. Her main love was her family and she eagerly welcomed her children’s spouses and then was overjoyed to have Grandchildren and great grandchildren join the family.

Rose was a true and faithful friend. She belonged to many clubs and organizations throughout her life and lived her life with kindness and appreciation for everything while enjoying her family, friends and card games.

When Rose moved to the Health Center in May 2024 she quickly made friends of the staff and residents and her room was a warm and welcome meeting place for all. Rose was an example for us to enjoy life to the fullest every day!

We will hold her in our hearts until we hold her again in heaven.

A Mass of Christian Burial was held on January 17 in the Sacred Heart Catholic Church, Davidson SK.
