In memory of

Rita Larose

1926 - 2026

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our family Matriarch Rita Larose. She will now be joined in love with her late husband Paul. Together, they started their family business Paul’s New & Used in 1946. She is survived by her sons Roger and Michael(Marion), predeceased by Gerald. She is survived by her Grandchildren Nicole, Mark, Daniel, Angelique, Jean Pierre and their families. She was a proud great grandmother. She is survived by her sister Noella and many nieces and nephews. Cremation has taken place and a Celebration of Life will be held at a later date. 

In lieu of flowers, donations in Rita’s memory can be made to Paroisse L'Assomption in Kirkland Lake.
