Wojcik's Funeral Chapel - Nancy McRae's Funeral Arrangements


AGNES “NANCY” MUIR McRAE

After a lengthy illness, Nancy quietly slipped away at St. Joseph’s Residence on Wednesday, February 20, 2013.
Nancy leaves to mourn, her daughters Heather (Bill) Ashdown, Karen (Brian) Gamley; and two grandsons, Ryan and Sean. She was predeceased by her husband Jack.
 Nancy was born in Winnipeg on March 6, 1927. She was a remarkable lady, living through the Depression and difficult times with stoicism, courage, and a unique sense of humour. Although being a mother, grandmother, wife and homemaker was a priority in her life, she had an unusual career as Matron of the Old Kildonan Police Force; later she worked for the Manitoba Lung Association. Our most memorable times with Mom include her babysitting days with Ryan and Sean, clearing bush at the cottage, and baking apple pies.   
After a paralyzing stroke, Mom continued to be a quiet strength in our lives.  Renal failure and the necessity of dialysis restricted Mom’s lifestyle but her spirit and curiosity kept her vital to the end.
No words can express our appreciation to Mom’s caregivers at St. Joseph’s and Seven Oaks Dialysis.  She was always treated with respect, dignity and competence.  We also extend a special thank you to Dr. Terry Babick. 
All flowers gratefully declined.  In honor of Mom’s love for animals, donations may be made to the Winnipeg Humane Society, 45 Hurst Way, Winnipeg, MB R3T 0R3.
