BIOGRAPHY
Marie Rosa was born in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, on 17 September 1915.
Rosa married her husband, Gordon, in 1952 after unexpectedly running into him on a Toronto streetcar following World War II. Two years later, in 1954, they welcomed their daughter, Cathie. Cathie was Rosa’s only child, but by the time Rosa reached 110, her family had grown to include two grandchildren and three great-grandchildren. After Cathie’s birth, Rosa devoted much of her time to the joys and responsibilities of motherhood.
