<div itemprop="description">It is with profound sadness and heavy hearts that we announce the passing of our beloved Rosa Arciero Scoins on September 17, 2026, at the age of 62. <br> <br>Rosa battled cancer at different times throughout her life, from her early diagnosis to recurrences in later years. Along the way, there were triumphs, periods of hope and healing, and difficult setbacks, but through it all, she met each chapter with incredible strength, courage, and determination. Rosa was a true fighter, facing every challenge with resilience and never allowing her illness to define who she was. Her strength, perseverance, and unwavering spirit were an inspiration to everyone who knew and loved her. <br> <br>Nothing brought Rosa greater happiness than spending time with her family and friends. She loved travelling to Florida and the UK with her husband, Wayne, and cherished the countless days spent with her son, Adriano, and her granddaughters, Lara and Mavie. Some of her happiest moments were spent gathered around a table filled with delicious food, laughter, stories, and the people she loved most. She had a generous heart, and the love she gave to those around her knew no bounds. <br> <br>Above all else, Rosa was a devoted wife, mother, grandmother, daughter, sister, aunt, and friend. Family was at the centre of her world and the source of her greatest pride and happiness. She loved deeply and wholeheartedly, and her loss leaves a space in our family that can never truly be filled. <br> <br>She leaves behind a family heartbroken by her loss, yet forever grateful for her love: her husband, Wayne; her son, Adriano (Leanne); her beloved granddaughters, Lara and Mavie; and her mother, Rita (Eugenio). She was also a cherished sister to Tony (Julie) and Marc (Shawn), a beloved sister-in-law to Kershaw and Michele, a loving aunt to Christina, Sofia, Ben, Arrianne, Natasha, and Sean, and a special great-aunt to Maria. Rosa’s warmth and presence touched the lives of many other relatives and dear friends who were fortunate enough to know and love her. <br> <br>While we are heartbroken that she is no longer with us, we will carry her love with us always. The memories we shared, the moments we treasured, and the love she gave so freely will remain a lasting part of who we are. Though her absence will be deeply felt, Rosa’s place in our family and in our hearts will never be lost. <br> <br>Rest in peace, Rosa. You will be deeply missed, forever loved, and never forgotten. <br> <br>The family will receive condolences on Thursday, September 24, 2026, from 3:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. and from 7:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m., as well as on Friday, September 25, 2026, from 9:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m. at Rideau Funeral Home (4275, Boul. des Sources, Dollard-des-Ormeaux). <br> <br> <br>A memorial service will follow directly at the funeral home on Friday, September 25, at 10:00 a.m. <br>To attend the service live online, please follow the link below: https://funeraweb.tv/diffusions/128324 <br>The family will then proceed to Rideau Memorial Gardens (4239, Boul des Sources, Dollard-des-Ormeaux) at approximately 12:00pm where she will be laid to rest. <br> <br>In lieu of flowers, please consider making a donation to the MUHC Foundation - DOvEE: Stop Ovarian Cancer in dedication of Rosa Arciero Scoins. <br> <br>https://muhcfoundation.com/works/stop-ovarian-cancer?form=FUNGFUANRQK</div>
