Rose Edith Scott
JANUARY 4, 1929 – AUGUST 29, 2019
Funeral Mass for Rose Edith Scott, 90 of CANTON, TX will be held at 11:00 a.m. Monday, September 2, 2019 at St. Therese Catholic Church in Canton, TX with Father Selvaraj Sinnappan officiating. Rose Scott was born in Vienna, Austria on January 4, 1929 to Ferdinand and Aurelia Brezina Zelinka. She was a survivor of World War II and the Holocaust. She often spoke at schools about her story of survival and the legacy she wanted to leave behind. Rose wrote a book about her survival though the Holocaust called "ROSE: A Young Girl's Grit and Grace During World War II". She married in 1947 and came to America in 1948 where she raised her three children: Freddy, Rocky, and Griselle. As Rose became a grandmother, and later a great-grandmother, she became affectionately known as "Gangay." Rose was a woman people loved to be around. Her sweet disposition and knack for conversation put people instantly at ease. She managed nursery schools in Chicago and Spangdalem, Germany. She owned her own restaurant in El Paso and in Las Vegas she worked as the head hostess at restaurants in major hotels. She eventually retired in Dallas and later moved to Canton where she continued to be an active member of the community she loved so much. Rose was a spirited member of St. Therese Catholic Church and the members of the church loved her as much as she loved them. She was always on hand doing volunteer work, singing in the church choir, and working in the main office with her beautiful smile and her infectious laugh.
Rose is survived by her son, Freddy Gonzalez; daughter, Griselle King; seven grandchildren: Lisa, Michelle, Olivia, Malia, Joseph, Zachary, and Ginger; and eight great-grandchildren. She is preceded in death by her parents, Ferdinand and Aurelia Zelinka; and son, Rocky Gonzalez.
