BERNICE ELVA SIMMONS
(nee WALSH)
With great sadness we announce the
passing of our mother and grandmother, Elva, peacefully at Parkview Place in Winnipeg
on Wednesday, June 5, 2013, at the age of 89 years.
Elva is survived by her son Lloyd;
grandson Lloyd (Dustin); nieces, Barbara Hughes, Rita Eyer, Patricia Walsh,
Teresa Walsh, and Linda Walsh. She was predeceased by her infant sons, Joseph, and
David Simmons; parents in-law Joe and Mabel Simmons, parents; husband Lloyd; siblings,
James (Jim) Walsh, William (Bill) Walsh, and Barbara Watson.
On July 13, 1923 Elva was born in
Whitewater, Manitoba to her parents John (Jack) and Violet Walsh (nee
McCarthy). She was married in 1946 to Lloyd Alvin Simmons until his death in
1976. Elva had an interest in art all of her life, and her time at the lake. She
was an active participant in women’s curling here in Winnipeg and loved her
trips to the world’s championships. She had an interest in purebred, as well as,
not so, purebred dogs. Elva enjoyed her friendships and valued her many acquaintances,
throughout her life. She so enjoyed her involvement with
her family, and extended family, as well as all of her many friends.
In compliance with Elva’s wishes a
private family Interment will be held. We would like to take this opportunity
to thank the staff or Parkview Place Personal Care Home for their wonderful
care of Elva.
In lieu of cards or flowers, please
consider a donation to the Winnipeg Humane Society or the Alzheimer Society of
Manitoba.
