Enid was born in Winnipeg to Alexander and Margaret Dawson and is survived by her brother, Ron (Shirley Dawson), daughters Brenley and Bonnie (Jim de Koning), grandsons, Adam and Lewis de Koning, great- granddaughter, Erica de Koning, and numerous nieces and nephews. Enid was married to Karl Bernard Kaake from 1953 to his death in 1983. When she retired, she was working for the Winnipeg Flying Club at St. Andrews Airport. Despite post polio disabilities, she succeeded in obtaining her pilot's license and fulfilled her dream of flying. Enid spent many happy days at her cabin north of Gimli with family and friends. A Memorial Service will be held at Betelstadur Housing Co-Op, 1061 Sargent Ave., Winnipeg, (corner of Sargent and Erin) at 11:00 a.m. on January 4, 2013. Donations may be sent to the March of Dimes for Post Polio.

I was sorry to hear the news-my heartfelt condolences to Brenley, Bonnie and the families. And to my friend Kim whose pretty Aunt Dean graciously welcomed an extra teenager to "the cabin" where we enjoyed many wonderful summer days. - Posted by: Karen () on: Jan 05, 2013

Enid will be very missed by all her loving family. She was a very brave and strong woman who worked very hard to overcome the disabilities that her bout with polio left her with. I will always remember visits to Winnipeg as a child and being in awe of my beautiful older cousin. Rest in peace dear one. - Posted by: Margaret Ann Ogilvie nee Curtis (Cousin) on: Jan 03, 2013

We have fond memories of Enid early in our lives when she visited our farm with brother Ron and my brother and I visited at their home in Winnipeg. Enid was a very dignified and courageous lady. Our thoughts and prayers are with her family at this very difficult time. - Posted by: Fred & Laura Ross (Cousins) on: Jan 03, 2013
