About Rose Pavlic
Rose was the daughter of our good friend, Bibiana Hajek. Born in Austria, she moved to Toronto with her mother in the aftermath of the Second World War in an attempt to deal with respiratory health issues. At 26 she was struck by car while walking on the sidewalk in Toronto. Five years of surgeries followed. In an attempt to deal with severe arthritis that resulted, she moved with her husband, Phillip Chalmers, to South Africa where they ran a bed and breakfast until her death from cancer. (LinkedIn)
