PETITE, polite, tough, attractive and dedicated to her family.
These are just a few of the words used to describe Rose Beecroft (nee Le Pinez), who died on June 14, 2019 at the age of 91.
For Rose, life began in Melbourne in 1927, the same year Edmond Hogan took over as the Premier of Victoria from John Allan, Parliament House was opened in Canberra by the Duke of York and Melbourne gangster Squizzy Taylor was killed in a shoot-out with Sydney gangsters in Carlton.
The youngest of six children in a blended family - and the only natural child of the second marriage for her parents Albert and Rose, Rose's childhood years were spent living in Victoria during the Great Depression.
Her family lived in Collingwood at the time she was born, but they were forced to escape from the city to find work during the Depression, landing in Berry's Creek, Gippsland where her father worked on a farm.
