STERLING -- Rose O. Van Vleck/Long, 79, of 4 Kitchener Road and Clementsvale, Nova Scotia, was called home to her Lord on Aug. 9, after a long illness. Rose was born on Aug. 2, 1928, to the late Elisha and Olive (Vale) Wiles, formerly of Bear River East, N.S.

She will be dearly missed by her husband of nine years, Gerald Long of Clementsvale, N.S., as well as Gerald’s grown daughters and their families; a sister, Muriel Beirhorst (Fred) residing in Bear River East, N.S.; and many nephews, nieces, friends and dear family there.

Left to carry on here are Rose’s twin sons, Laurence Van Vleck (Corinne) of Westminster, Gerald Van Vleck of Lunenburg; and a daughter, Sharon DeVillers (Curt) of Sterling. A huge void will be left in the lives of her grandchildren, Eric, Keith, Shannon, Kelly, Olivia, Shaye and Ethan.

Former husband Richard Van Vleck of Sterling predeceased her in 1981, as well as her brother Stuart Wiles (Thelma) of Granby, Conn., who was laid to rest in 1997.

Rose’s devotion to family, friends and church enriched her; careers in early life of hairdressing, and later of a member of the Clinton Hospital staff sustained her.

VAN VLECK/LONG -- Rose’s funeral was held on Aug. 13 in Nova Scotia. Services were provided by Kaulbach Funeral Home, Annapolis Royal. Memorial donations in memory of Rose may be sent to The Sterling Ambulance Fund, 5 Main St., Sterling, MA 01564.
