Rosalie Jean "Rosie" Canty, passed from this life on November 15, 2016 after a valiant battle with cancer. She was born on May 9, 1955 in Salem, Oregon, the daughter of Maurice and Eloise Bender. Rosie's smile would brighten anyone's day and she was considered "mom" to so many – her own sons, Ren, Trent (who preceded her in death), and Shane Bigelow; her grandchildren Isabell, Nicole, Erik, Evelyn, Brooklyn, and Jaclyn; and countless "unofficial" children. Additional "children" include patients who Rosie worked with as a pediatric nurse at Arnold Palmer Hospital for Children, women who were under Rosie's care as teenagers when she worked as housemother at Orlando House of Hope, and many others who, as friends, looked to Rosie for nurturing and support. She seemed to have boundless energy and love for everyone who came into her life. She is survived by her husband, Frank Canty, mother and father Eloise and Maurice Bender, sister Pam Wenger, brother Nathan Bender, sons Ren and Shane, 6 biological grandchildren, three stepsons and 7 step-grandchildren along with a number of nieces and nephews. She lived life trusting in the Lord who instilled her with joy, fearlessness and unconditional love for others. She will be greatly missed by all whose lives she touched. A Celebration of Life service will be held at 7 p.m. on Tuesday, November 22, at Discovery Church Central, 4400 S. Orange Avenue, Orlando FL. In lieu of flowers, contributions may be made to the Orlando House of Hope, PO Box 560484, Orlando, FL 32856.
