BERTHA MARY KORELL (FORMERLY MILNE)

(nee COOK)

OCTOBER 3, 1915 - NOVEMBER 4, 2013

It is with a heavy heart and infinite sadness that we have lost the matriarch of our family.

After Mom's debilitating stroke in 2008 she was still able to return to her apartment with me as her caregiver.

Mom loved to go out so we want to thank Handi-Transit for making our many outings possible.

I also want to thank my Uncle Bob and my son Alan for all the time they spent visiting with Mom.

Mom was predeceased by our Dad, Gordon J. Milne; her first-born son Gordon G. Milne; her sister Olive Ross from Marathon, ON and her sister Elva Smith from Mississauga, ON.

Left to mourn Mom is her daughter Bonnie Frandsen; her son James Milne and his wife Rita from Barrhead, AB; her brother Robert Cook from Winnipeg and all her grandchildren, great-grandchildren, nieces and nephews.

As per Mom's wishes, cremation has taken place and her ashes will be placed in her Mom's grave at the cemetery in Brandon.

Mother and Daughter, hearts intertwined

I was her child, then she was mine

My hand in her hand, then her hand in mine 

Daughter and Mother, hearts intertwined

Wojcik's Funeral Chapel - Ted Speers Funeral Arrangements

EDWARD A. (TED) SPEERS, Ph.D., P. Eng.

1918 – 2013

Ted passed away in Winnipeg Sunday morning, November 3, 2013, leaving his loved and loving wife and devoted companion of 53 years, Jean, their son Chris (Tina), of Calgary, Alberta, and daughter Elizabeth (Mike) of Beaconia, Manitoba. Ted was very proud of his children’s independence, their abilities and their determined ambition.

Throughout his life Ted had an overwhelming curiosity and desire to research multitudes of subjects that caught his attention, and he had a very early interest in research and development and environmental sustainability in both industry and government, which led him to his choices in education and employment.

Ted was born, brought up and had early education in Brandon, Manitoba, and he attended Brandon University where he was granted a one-year exchange scholarship to the University of British Columbia. Ted returned to Brandon to complete his B.A. in Arts and Science, then attended UBC once again for a BASc. and an MASc. in Chemical Engineering.

Returning to Manitoba in 1960, Ted continued his interest in research, combining self-employed work and education by achieving a Ph.D. at the University of Manitoba in Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering, which led to consulting work in Ukraine and Russia.

Ted’s community activities were broad in scope. Examples are: a founding member of the Biomass Energy Institute; President of the Alumni Association of Professional Engineers of Manitoba, and subsequently a member of the Senate at the University of Manitoba; founding member and director of the Solar Energy Society of Canada and of the Canadian Hydrogen Association; a board member of the

Recycling Council of Manitoba.

            A private memorial service was held for Ted on Thursday, November 7.

The family thanks the health-care professionals of WFPS and Grace Hospital.

In lieu of flowers, donations in Ted’s memory may be made to a charity of your choice or to the Faculty of Engineering Centenary Fund at the University of Manitoba to support the education of engineering students. Cheques can be made out to the University of Manitoba with Engineering Centenary Fund in the subject line and mailed to Donor Relations, 179 Extended Education Complex, U of M, R3T 2N2 or by calling 1-800-330-8066.

Today I will go on a journey of no return. My face no more will you see. No more heartache, tears, sorrow or pain. My family I leave far behind as I go down this road alone. I shall walk slowly down this road for some day you all will follow me.

TO MY FAMILY

I go from you gently for it is my time,

To take the next step in this journey of mine;

Don’t grieve for me long – I’ve not left you alone,

For I will be with you

In the love that we’ve known,

That love is forever and some day when it’s time

You’ll join me again on this journey of mine.
