ELIZABETH
SHANNON
Peacefully, after a brief stay at St. Boniface
Hospital our mother, Elizabeth Shannon passed away on Tuesday, October 21,
2014. She is survived by her sons, George, Robert and Fred.
Our Mom was a great teacher, whether as a
professor or a parent, her quiet enthusiasm and zest for life underscored
everything she turned her hand to. Her
happiness was in the doing. Mom taught in the Department of Clothing and
Textiles at the University of Manitoba for over 25 years. Her innovative
research into the design of apparel for those with special needs took her to
the University of Arizona, her work employing AutoCAD for the Apparel Industry
took her to the National Research Council’s Canadian Institute of Industrial
Technology.
As a friend, mentor, or as our Mom she was a
tower of strength, whose loyalty and wisdom powered her formidable
resolve. Whether at a Blue Bombers game,
the opera or symphony she enjoyed life and her sense of humour rarely deserted
her. She was an inveterate traveller who also loved to be at home. We will all
miss Betty S.
Plans for a celebration of Elizabeth’s life are
ongoing.
In lieu of flowers donations may be made to
Lake Winnipeg Foundation, 300-207 Fort Street, Winnipeg, MB Canada
R3C 1E2.
