NORA ZENTENO (MEJIA) It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our mother, grandmother and great-grandmother, Nora Zenteno Carvallo on Tuesday, September 13, 2005. Our Mom was born on March 26, 1921 in Chile, South America. She married Salvador Mejia, our father in 1939 and had six children. She was predeceased by her husband in 1978 and shortly after she immigrated to Canada and made Winnipeg her new home. Our Mom's wishes were to rest next to our father Salvador. We will fulfill her wishes by bringing our father's remains to Winnipeg, where they will share their final resting place in peace together.
