JANET
BUSH
(nee
HILL)
The family of Janet Bush is sad to announce
her passing on Monday, April 21, 2014 at the age of 67 years.
Janet is survived by her son Cameron (Steven);
daughter Kaleigh (Shawn); sisters Norah Campbell and Carol Nichol; brother-in-law
Gary Nichol; and numerous other relatives and friends. She was predeceased by
her husband Dan; mother Dora; father Richard; and brother Ricky, who passed
away in early childhood.
Mom
was born in Vita, Manitoba and spent most of her early childhood living in the
Southeastern part of the province, with periods in Badger, Marchand and finally
Hadashville, where she made lifelong friends in Florence and Dennis Kupiak. She
grew up in a tight‐knit family, and remained close to her
sisters throughout her life. After the sudden passing of their father when Mom
was a girl, the family moved to Winnipeg where she graduated from Daniel
McIntyre Collegiate and later attended secretarial college. Mom initially
worked as a legal secretary, before spending many years at Pool Elevators.
During this time Mom met and married Dan, and
together they enjoyed trips to Europe, Bermuda, Florida and Hawai’i, the
memories of which she always treasured. Mom stayed home following the arrival
of her kids but later returned to the workforce, including positions at The
Safety Centre and, in the years immediately preceding her retirement, at
Chicken Delight Head Offices. Though she lived with chronic health issues for
the last few years, Mom had many more good days than bad, and was grateful for
her extended periods of good health.
Mom had a great many pastimes over the years,
most of them creative—photography, gardening, crafting, reading and flower
arranging were a few among many. Most of all, Mom loved people: she cherished
her friends and loved her whole extended family; she always valued and cared
for her neighbours and community; and she would happily talk to almost anyone.
She was friendly and generous, and liked to laugh with people. She will be
deeply missed.
On Wednesday, April 30, 2014 Janet’s Funeral
Service will be held at 2:00 p.m. in Sturgeon Creek United Church, 207 Thompson
Drive.
The family wishes to thank all of Mom’s
healthcare providers for their compassionate care, especially Dr. Wayne Poon,
Dr. Pat Harris and her homecare provider, Darlene.
In lieu of flowers, please consider a
donation to a charity of your choice.
