PEGGY LEE BRUCE It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved Grandmother, Mother, Sister, Aunt and Friend, Peggy Lee Bruce. Peggy passed away on Monday, August 8, 2011 at the Tri-Lake Health Centre, at 58 years of age, with her son Delaney Curry (Lara Curry) and granddaughter Serena Curry by her side. She is survived also by her brothers Leslie Bruce, Gregory Bruce (Alana Bruce) and Ronald Bruce. She will also be missed by nieces and nephews, many cousins and friends. Peggy was born February 11, 1953, in Winnipeg, Manitoba. She grew up in East Selkirk, Manitoba - working in her parents store L and R Grocery . Her parents Leonard Bruce (predeceased) and Robenia Bruce (predeceased) raised her to be a very kind and gentle person. Peggy began working for banks in the 1970s, a career that took her 30 years into the future, and all over Western Canada. At which point she settled down in the community of Killarney, Manitoba. She worked at the co-op grocery until the day she became too ill to work. Peggy enjoyed decorations and collecting antiques. Loved any holiday that involved family. She cherished and adored her granddaughter. Whenever Serena entered the room, Peggy's eyes would light up, even until the day of her death. One of her dying wishes was to thank the staff of Tri-Lake Health Centre for making her and her family comfortable. Her ashes will be interred in a tombstone in Transcona, to rest near her parents. We have lost a wonderful person, but gained an angel.
