JANET MACDONALD
On Thursday, March 20, 2014, Janet MacDonald passed away peacefully at the Grace Hospital after a very brief illness at the age of 82 years.
Janet is survived and remembered by her brother, Fr. J. Winston Rye, S.J.; son Ian; daughter Cathy (Brett MacKinnon); grandsons Chris and Derek (Caitlin Wiens); sister-in-law Marie MacDonald, nieces; nephew; cousins; and friends and neighbours. She was predeceased by her husband Mac (Gerry) in 1986; son Neil in 2010; brother Albert in 1995; and her parents.
Mom was born in Winnipeg and lived her entire life in her beloved St. James. She was a caring person along with being a very independent soul. Despite this very cold winter, it did not stop her from getting out and walking in her neighbourhood even though she was unwell. Mom was always up for a family get together; a glass of wine with neighbours; puttering in the garden or just chatting on the phone with family, friends and her cousin Vivian. She was so looking forward to the upcoming wedding of her grandson Derek. She loved her time at the family cottage in Grand Marais. In her younger years, spending the summers there with us and then weekends until the climb up the "hill" became too much. Mom never missed a beat when it came to church and St. Paul's was "her place" as she would refer to it. She will be missed by many of her church friends.
Funeral Mass will be held on Wednesday, March 26, 2014 at 10:30 a.m. in St. Paul the Apostle Roman Catholic Church, 2400 Portage Avenue with Janet’s brother , Fr. J. Winston Rye, S.J., presiding. A private family Interment will take place in Assumption Roman Catholic Cemetery, 3990 Portage Avenue.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made to the Canadian Cancer Society, 193 Sherbrook Street, Winnipeg, Manitoba R3C 2B7.
