EDNA
GREENFIELD
The friends and family of Edna
Greenfield wish to announce that she passed away on February 5, 2015 at the age
of 83 at River View Health Centre in Winnipeg.
She is survived and deeply missed by
Harry, her husband of almost 65 years, her sister Iris Boughton, her children
Susan (Real Alarie), Keith (Penny), and Paul (Jerri), as well as her
grandchildren Ainsley (Matt Christensen), Christine (Stephen Rose), Melanie
(Caleb Mangaard), and Chad (Amanda), and her great grandchildren Ever,
Coraline, Xander, Laelle, and Tavin. She
is also deeply missed by her nieces and nephews and their families, and by her
many friends.
She was predeceased by her grandson Sean
Greenfield on January 31, 2009, and by her sisters Dorothy Chesney and Constance
Pember.
Edna was born on February 22, 1931 in
Dagenham, England. On March 25, 1950 she
married Harry Greenfield and in 1957 they emigrated to Winnipeg. After many years working at Palliser
Furniture she retired and has since
spent much of her leisure time doing the things she loved; playing golf, darts,
bowling, and line dancing.
Edna was diagnosed with lung cancer in
2012 and had one lung successfully removed at Christmas that year. Unfortunately
the cancer had moved to her kidney and appeared in her other lung and despite
her iron will, she succumbed.
Edna asked specifically that we thank
the Palliative Care Unit in Winnipeg, especially Michelle, Sean, and Wendy, as
well as the excellent staff at River View and her personal physician Dr.
Gillian Breckman. All of these people
did their best for her, and she was very grateful.
She also wanted to thank her wonderful
children who gave her such good care at the end.
Cremation has taken place and a gathering
of family and friends will be held on Thursday, February 12, 2015 at 2:00 p.m.
to 4:00 p.m. in ANAVETS Unit 283, 3584
Portage Avenue, Winnipeg, Manitoba.
Instead of flowers Edna asked that
donations be made to the charity of your choice.
