ROSALIE DREGER

ROSALIE DREGER 1949-2025
The family of Rosalie Ellen Dreger is saddened to share that she passed away suddenly and peacefully at her home on April 5th, 2025, at the age of 75 years.
Rosalie’s memory will live on in the hearts of her husband of 44 years Merlin Dreger, their 2 daughters; Jennifer (Joe) Larocque and their sons Vincent & Davis; Karla (Randy) Butterfield and their children Brea & Brady.
She will also be remembered and cherished by her sister Betty (Eddie) Jober; numerous nieces, nephews, cousins, and countless friends.
Rosie grew up on a farm in Daysland, Alberta with her parents Peter & Helen and her brother and sister Billy & Betty where she often talked about fond memories of family and neighbors gathering to play cards and feasting on Ukrainian dishes.
She met Merlin in 1978 at a Christmas dance at the base in Suffield and they later married in 1980 and had their 2 daughters. Rosie worked for Service Canada for 30 years and took pride in her job. She made many friends throughout her years there.
Her children and grandchildren were her greatest joys. She loved to spend as much time with them as possible and was often seen at the rinks watching her grandchildren play hockey and ringette. She rarely missed a chance to watch them and was so proud of them all.
Rosie loved to be busy and would gather with friends, go for lunches or suppers, get togethers to play cards, go to concerts and recently took up group exercise classes at the Veiner Centre.
She loved her friends like family, her most treasured friendships spanned decades.
Rosie’s beautiful yard was the envy of the neighborhood. She spent countless hours digging in her flowerbeds and was happy when spring finally came around so she could spend her time outside.
No one ever left her home with an empty heart or a hungry stomach. Only ever speaking the unfiltered truth and what was on her mind is what everyone loved about her. She will be truly missed.
There will be a celebration of life for Rosie on Saturday, April 19th, 2025, from 1-3pm at Desert Blume Golf Club.
Donations can be made to the Canadian Epilepsy Alliance.
