Mom was born and raised in Brandon, MB where she

and Victoria, BC, returning to Winnipeg in 1989. She was widowed at a very young age and
raised her four children, all of whom she was very proud. Her greatest love was her family.
Mom enjoyed trips to the cottage, the farm, the West
Coast, and winter vacations. She loved getting together with her family,
whether for a cup of coffee, a Sunday dinner, or a grand celebration. She had a
great talent for making crafts and gifts for all occasions. Mom loved
flowers. She was especially gifted at
creating gorgeous flower gardens and spent many hours tending to them and
enjoying their beauty.

October 11, 2012 at 2:00 p.m. in Westwood Presbyterian Church, 197 Browning Blvd. Mom will be
laid to rest with our father, Dale, on Friday, October 12, 2012 at 12:00 p.m.
