A service to celebrate the life of Marilyn Rose will be held Friday July 31 at 11 am, at the Ridley College Memorial Chapel in St. Catharines, with reception to follow at Williams Hall on the Ridley campus.

Rose, a long-time professor of English Language and Literature at Brock who was also the University’s inaugural Dean of Graduate Studies, passed away July 22 after a brief illness.

Her family has asked that, instead of flowers or other gestures of sympathy, contributions be made to support the Marilyn Rose Graduate Award – Excellence in Humanities at Brock University. This is a student award that Rose had set up several years ago.

Faculty and staff can make donations at www.brocku.ca/donate or through the online payroll deduction link on the Brock portal my.brocku.ca, or by calling the Development and Alumni Relations Office at 905-688-5550 ext. 4190.
