Eunice Mildred Ross
(nee BOURKE)
It is with great sadness that we announce the
sudden passing of Eunice Ross on Friday, January 23, 2015 in the Charleswood
Care Centre, in Winnipeg, Manitoba at the age of 91 years.
Born on September 11, 1923 in Winnipeg,
Manitoba, Eunice is survived by her sister Doreen; daughters Darlene Ross-Cook
(David Cook) of Calgary, Alberta, Kim Ross (Dennis Engel) of Winnipeg; and grandsons
Marcus Engel of Edmonton, Alberta, and Jordan Engel of Winnipeg. Eunice was predeceased
by her parents, John P. and Lillian (Pearson) Bourke of Winnipeg; as well as
brother John of Headingly, Manitoba. She
was also predeceased by her husband, John Evan Ross on June 18, 1968.
Eunice married returning soldier John Ross,
after the Second World War. They made
their home in the Winnipeg community of Woodhaven, in a home skillfully built
by John. After his early passing, she
rose to the challenge of raising her young daughters on her own. Eunice’s
strong friendships with her neighbors in Woodhaven provided her with great
comfort during the years of raising her daughters. Eunice’s children fondly
remember their summers at the family cottage at Lac du Bonnet, also built by
John. The happiness and success of her
children and grandchildren gave Eunice her greatest joy. In her later years, she enjoyed the community
of friends in the Metropolitan Kiwanis Courts in St. James. After a recent illness, she moved to the
Charleswood Care Centre.
A private family funeral service will be held
at a later date.
The family wishes to extend thanks to the kind
care and friendship of the staff of the Metropolitan Kiwanis Courts and also to
the staff of the Charleswood Care Centre.
In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be
made to the Manitoba branch of the Heart and Stroke Foundation, 6 Donald
Street, Suite 200 Winnipeg, MB, R3L 0K6.
