CORA BERNADINE MASSON
(nee PETERSON)
1913 – 2013
Cora
died peacefully in her home at River Park Gardens, St. Vital, June 21, 2013, 12
days short of her 100th birthday.
Predeceased
by husband "Bunt" in 1989, she leaves son Brian Masson and wife
Theresa in Los Angeles, and daughter Audrey Reineking and husband Rich in
Chicago, as well as five grandchildren and seven great-grandchildren.
Cora
was born on the Peterson family farm near Morden, where she spent her formative
years. After graduating as a registered nurse, she served in Winnipeg hospitals
before marrying and raising her family in Fort Garry. She returned to nursing
during times of stress, notably the polio epidemic of the 1950s. Her children
grown, she followed Bunt, a government agriculturist, to other postings
including Ottawa. Following Bunt's retirement they settled again in Winnipeg,
where she spent her final years. Throughout her life, Cora was an enthusiastic
wife, mother and grandmother. A proficient seamstress, she enjoyed sewing for her
grandchildren, a skill she passed to daughter Audrey.
Our
family is especially grateful to Cora's niece, our cousin Rae Campbell and
husband Tom who served as another son and daughter, here in Winnipeg, bringing
peace, comfort and joy to her final years.
In
accordance with her wishes, her ashes will be scattered on the family farm at
Morden.
