Rose was born on the family farm south of Neudorf on March 30, 1919. She was christened by Rev. M. Rickter, and then in 1933 she was confirmed at Trinity Lutheran Church in Neudorf by Rev. Miller. She was married in 1941 to Jake Schick. They lived on their farm north of Lemberg, where they raised four daughters.

Rose spent many enjoyable hours gardening, canning, baking and quilting, as well as playing bingo and bowling when time permitted. Then in 1978 they retired to Melville and spent many happy years until Jake’s passing in 1989. Rose stayed in Melville until 2011 when she then moved to Regina to be closer to her family. Her final days were spent at Sunset Extendicare Home. The family would like to thank the staff at Sunset Extendicare for their help and care looking after their mother, Rose.
