Obituary - Rozemary Jaber

Rozemary Jaber

It is with heavy hearts that the family of Rozemary Jaber announces her passing on January 9, 2026 at the age of 65.

Beloved wife of Thomas Jaber, married 45 years.

Cherished mother to Michael (Renee) and William (Sharlene).

Forever remembered by her grandchildren: Nolan, Addison, Eloise, and Ethan.

Loving sister to Terry (Liz), Cindy (Pete), Kathy (Dan), Karen (Ken), MaryLynne (Doug), and Bob (Renee).

Also, Mary Lou (Tom, deceased), Michael (Ann), Tony (Sue), Johnny (Susan), Elaine (Michael).

Predeceased by parents Marilyn and Jim Brooks, Mary and Lou Jaber, brother-in-law Paul (Carol) and Dan.

Roze will also be dearly missed by her nieces and nephews, extended family and friends, and by her dog, Ruby.

Roze will be remembered for being strong, stubborn and not afraid to speak her mind, even if that meant shooting the finger or using choice words. Above all else, Roze's pride and joy was her family. Tom was the love of her life, that love only deepened by the births of their two sons. She loved Wednesday 2 for 1 movie nights, with popcorn, of course, with the three of them. Video games and sports could always be heard on the TV, leading to Roze becoming an avid Detroit Red Wings fan for her children, and more recently and begrudgingly a Maple Leafs fan for her grandsons! She had a caring and generous heart, shown most profoundly in the devoted care she gave to her mother-in-law Mary during her illness later in life. Although Muscular Dystrophy and Parkinson's took away her mobility in the past few years, she will be remembered for dancing all night long any chance she got. Roze cherished scratching lottery tickets and looked forward to her nightly game shows.

"If I go to heaven and you're not there, 

I'll write your name on every stair

So the angels will look and see

what you, my darling, have meant to me." - Poem titled "Tom" by Roze Jaber

As per Rozemary’s wishes, cremation has taken place. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to Muscular Dystrophy Canada or Parkinson’s Canada. A celebration of life will take place Sun Feb 1, 1-5pm at McGregor Community Centre, 9571 Walker Road.
