Sobbing pals recall their 'rose'
Kitchen volunteer fed hungry with food from own fridge
Pattern of abuse started early in victim's life, cousin says
By Jessica
LEEDER,
Staff
Reporter with files from Dale Anne
FREED
Rose McGROARTY was known for putting the needs of others -- to
eat a good meal, find shelter, have a shower -- before her own.
Even among close Friends, the 46-year-old rarely talked about
her aches, the causes of the bruises beneath her sweater, why
she spent so much time volunteering at the Parkdale Activity-Recreation
Centre, or made it her home away from home.
If only she had, mournful Friends said yesterday, her fate might
have been different.
"I can't help thinking that I wish I had known what you were
going through," a friend wrote to
McGROARTY in a letter read
at a packed memorial service at the community centre. The building
houses the kitchen where
McGROARTY spent six days a week the
last three years volunteering and making Friends -- until she
disappeared last month. Her dismembered body parts have been
found throughout the city.
But a family member said it would have been out of character
for the hard-luck woman to tell anyone if she was a punching
bag. She learned early, the cousin said yesterday, to distract
herself and not dwell on what was really going on.
"I understand that she didn't have a whole lot of money in Toronto,"
said Kimberly
CAMPBELL, a cousin who grew up with
McGROARTY in
London, Ontario "The catch here is that it didn't start (in Toronto),"
she told the Star in a phone interview. "But Rose Marie was the
type of person, no matter what anybody did to her, she would
never talk about it."
A pattern of abuse in
McGROARTY's life started early, when she
was about 6 or 7,
CAMPBELL said. She was living in London at
the time, and with her mother unable to care for her -- for reasons
that are unclear --
McGROARTY moved into a boarding house run
by Edith SANDERS.
In 2002, SANDERS was convicted for enslaving and torturing children,
including CAMPBELL, her adopted daughter, from the 1950s to the
1980s. SANDERS' victims testified at her trial that while under
her care, they were beaten with hockey sticks, tortured with
a cattle prod and forced to eat animal feces.
SANDERS was sentenced
in January 2003 to four years in prison on four counts of assault
and three counts of assault causing bodily harm. She died last
year while on parole.
The conviction stemmed from allegations brought by
CAMPBELL and
other siblings; none of the charges that resulted in conviction
related to
McGROARTY.
"Rose
Marie didn't have a fighting chance (in life,)"
CAMPBELL
said, recounting their tormented childhood. "Dysfunctional leads
to dysfunctional. She didn't get the education she needed, she
was abused mentally and physically, and yet she went along in
life and tried to accomplish and do the best that she could.
"It sounds to me that she was doing wonderfully for what she
experienced in her lifetime. She was such a forgiving person."
"This was Rose's home. This was a very important place for her,"
said Peggy-Gail
DEHAL-
RAMSON, a Parkdale community advocate.
Nearly 100 people gathered at the memorial service, one of two
held for McGROARTY yesterday. Leaning on canes -- and each other
and wiping wet cheeks, those whom
McGROARTY treated like family
lamented their great loss. At times, centre general manager Victor
WILLIS had to pause to console the crowd.
"There's such a disconnect between who she was and how she died,"
he said. "We will not let another woman be harmed in our community."
Three women who worked alongside
McGROARTY in the kitchen each
day, Michelle
WALDRON,
Jean
McGRATH and Sugar
WALKER -- who had
a red silk rose pinned to her top -- sobbed uncontrollably during
the reading of farewell letters they wrote to their friend.
"Knowing someone like you, Rosie, you really were a 'rose,'"
one letter said. "A good friend. A beautiful person. A 'rose'
could not be so sweet as you!"
Greg DOWE, 25, met
McGROARTY through his grandmother, Marjorie,
who frequently offered up her Dunn Ave. apartment for
McGROARTY
when she needed a reprieve.
"This is just like killing a part of my family,"
DOWE said. "She's
the kind of person who would give up their life in order for
somebody else to live. Everything about her was to make everybody
else happy."
Later in the afternoon, Father Vaughan
QUINN asked 20 parishioners
to remember
McGROARTY and her good works at a service at the
Missionaries of Charity Convent, near her apartment.
WALKER said
McGROARTY had been trying to mend fences with her
mother and two children, in their 20s, after years of estrangement.
After the hour-long service at the Parkdale community centre,
Friends stayed to trade favourite stories about
McGROARTY.
She
was a rare volunteer who allowed the very hungry to come back
for seconds -- if the food ran out, she wasn't above running
home and taking from her own fridge.
Robert WISZNIOWSKI,
McGROARTY's 50-year-old common-law husband,
has been charged with second-degree murder.

DEHART, Robert "Bob" Neil (June 4, 1945-November 2, 2005)
Passed away at St. Paul's Hospital, Vancouver, British Columbia
on November 2, 2005, after a brief battle with cancer. Bob will
be sadly missed by his partner Neall, niece Nancy (Peter), nephew
John (Gayla), sister-in-law Margie, grandnephew Kai, and cousins
Marianna (Ken), Ross, and Chris (Maxine). He will be fondly remembered
by his former wife
Dorothy
STEWARD/STEWART/STUART, and many Friends, neighbours
and colleagues. Predeceased by his father Norman, mother Marjorie
and brother Bruce. Bob was born in Kelowna in 1945, and though
life took him around the world, the Okanagan remained close to
his heart. He graduated with a Bachelor of Commerce from U.B.C.
then held top money management roles in Vancouver and Toronto
at firms such as National Trust, Fry Mills Spence and Burns Fry.
After flying high on Bay Street in the 70s, he returned to the
West coast to seek a more laid back lifestyle in Vancouver, where
he became partner at M.K. Wong and Associates. He went on to become
Chief Information Officer of
HSBC Canada Asset Management, then
Chief Executive Officer of
HSBC Australia. Bob was a highly respected
capital markets analyst with incredible market timing, renowned
for his management of fixed income funds. He was also a mentor
to many in Vancouver's finance community. He retired a few years
ago to spend more time going for walks around Lost Lagoon, fishing,
reading and working on his beloved New York Times crossword puzzles.
Bob was a true gentleman who always made people feel welcome,
and will be remembered for his charm, generosity, warm smile,
mischievous spirit, and of course, his amazing parties. A celebration
of Bob's life will be held Thurs. November 10, 2005, from 5-
9 p.m at the Terrace Bar in The Four Seasons Hotel, 791 West
Georgia Street, Vancouver. In lieu of flowers donations to The
DeHart Foundation would be much appreciated. For details visit
