Eleanor (Diane) Pugh
(nee Armstrong)
May 17,
1932 – October 1, 2014
Peacefully
at home in the loving care of her family Sharron (John), Ellen (Craig), Jerry
(Linda), Chris (Dorothy). She will be sadly missed by her 4 children, 6
grandchildren and 3 great grandchildren. Diane was married to our Dad, Geordie
Pugh, for 62 years who passed away in April 2013.
Daughter of Charles and Eleanor Armstrong,
Diane graduated from Riverbend High School where she won the Inter-Provincial
High Jump. She always had a keen interest in sports. While raising her family,
Diane enjoyed curling and entered into the MLCA Bonspiels for many years. She
was an excellent and avid bridge player. She and Geordie spent many fall
seasons hunting together near Gypsumville. Diane was a great fan of the
Winnipeg Blue Bombers and especially those Manitoba curlers.
Each summer happy times were spent with all
their family at The Lake. Many winter holidays were spent south, and the kids
were always invited to join them.
Diane’s
culinary skills resulted in the marketing of Granny Diane’s Mustard Pickle in
gourmet shops in Western Canada. As the wife of a Gyro Club member Diane was
very active in the women’s group, where she made many loyal and lasting friends
who will miss her dearly.
In accordance with
Diane’s wishes, a private family gathering will be held.
In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to
CancerCare Manitoba, 675 McDermot Avenue, Winnipeg, MB, R3E 0V9.
