LEAN: It is with great sadness we announce the passing of our beloved mother, mother-in-law, grandmother and great grandmother, Mae Lean, formerly of Moline and Brandon on Sunday, September 14, 2014. Mae was born in the Isabella-Decker area. She took her teacher training at Normal School and taught at Kelloe, Gretna, and Rapid City, where she met her future husband, Alex Lean, of the Moline area. They were married on July 10, 1948, and soon began their family with the birth of their daughter, Alexis, in July of 1949, and their son, Dennis, in January of 1951. Farm life consumed Mae and Alex until their retirement to Brandon in 1980, where they lived until moving to Minnedosa in 2004. Mae was predeceased by her parents Bill and Maggie Milne, brothers Norman and Archie Milne, and sister, Minnie Little, as well as her husband, Alex, in March of 2014. She is survived by her daughter Alexis (Mel) Harvey and her son Dennis (Jeanette) Lean, as well as her grandchildren Brad (Mandy) Harvey, Alysa Harvey (Terry Ferguson), Michelle (Byron) Willcott, Terri (Marcin) Zurowski and Robyn Lean (Lance Fabiosa). She is also survived by her five great grandchildren Logan Harvey, Danika Ferguson, Jace Ferguson, Mason Willcott and Asha Zurowski. The funeral service for Mae will be held at the Minnedosa United Church, 48 Main Street South, on Thursday, September 18, 2014 at 10:30 a.m. with Rev. Natasha Pearen officiating. Interment will take place at the Rapid City Cemetery. Donations in memory of Mae may be made to the Minnedosa Personal Care Home "Patio Fund," Box 960, Minnedosa, MB, R0J 1E0.
