Read More	Frozina was the daughter of Simeon Rogoza and Agafia Kozub. She was born in the area known as Wostok, Alberta, The Territories before the Province of Alberta was formed. Rose married Nickolay Gelech of the Edwand district on October 20, 1917. The next several years held much heart-break. Their first 5 children, including a set of twins, died in infancy, and are buried in the Edwand Church Cemetery. In June 1922, Rose gave birth to a daughter, Doris, who lived beyond infancy, and this was the start of their family, including 6 more children: Marion, Eva, George, Lily, Cassie, and William (Bill). Although Rose did not attend school for any formal education, she loved working with her hands. She taught herself to knit, embroider, and sew - and she had a passion for quilting and rug-making. Over the course of her life, she spent many hours working with pieces of fabric, turning them into beautiful quilts or gorgeous loom-woven rugs. Nick and Rose raised their children on the land they homesteaded, and lived on the family farm until 1980. At this time, they moved into the Bar-V-Nook Lodge in Smoky Lake where they spent their final years. They were both very proud of the fact that they had lived long enough to see the fifth generation of little Gelech children running around. (Written by the George Gelych Family)
