Rosarina Probert
With profound sadness we announce the passing of Rosarina (Rose) Probert, (nee Albano) on Sunday, February 15th, 2026.
She is survived by her loving husband of 30 years, David, son Dylan, daughter Jessica, and daughter in law Paige.
Dear sister of Salvatore (Lisa), Franca and Doris, and sister-in-law to Kathryn Pereira (Ric) and John Probert (Janet).
Predeceased by her parents Giuseppe and Maria Albano, Nonna and namesake Rosarina, along with her in-laws Norman and Joanne Probert.
Loved as a daughter by her many Zia’s and Zio’s (aunts and uncles).
Numerous cousins, nieces, nephews, and friends also share in the sorrow.
Rose was born in San Giovanni in Fiore, Italy on May 8th, 1963. With her family she immigrated to Windsor, Ontario Canada in 1970.
Rose spent the last 25 years with her family in the United States residing in Decatur, Illinois; Quincy, Illinois, Leawood Kansas and O’Fallon Missouri.
She left an everlasting gift of generosity and kindness in all of these and other locations.
Rose was a registered nurse who worked at Hutzel Hospital, Detroit Michigan in the neo-natal intensive care unit, until moving to the United States in 2001.
In Quincy she was a dedicated pre-school teacher where she continued to nurture her passion of guiding and loving young people.
Diagnosed with ovarian cancer in 2017 she battled with grace and beauty for 9 years; always with a smile of encouragement to those around her.
Sincere gratitude to all of her doctors, nurses and caregivers in providing healing comfort and love throughout her journey.
A special recognition of those at Evelyn’s house who administered to Rose with compassion in her last days.
Rose will be deeply missed by all, but we’ll take comfort in knowing her suffering is over and she resides in the gentle embrace of her Savior.
