EDITH ISABELLE INGLIS (nee BIRSE) Peacefully on Thursday, November 3, 2005, at the Portage and District General Hospital, with her loving husband at her side, Edith Inglis passed away at the age of 93 years. She was predeceased by her parents, William and Isabella, brothers, William Jr., David and John, sisters, Christina, Elena and Mary. Left to mourn her passing are her husband Al and several nieces and nephews. Edith was born on February 5, 1912 at Oakville, MB. At an early age, she moved to Winnipeg and worked for Office Overload and then moved on to the T. Eaton Company, where she worked until retirement. She married Alexander Inglis on September 11, 1954 and they resided in Winnipeg. Al and Edith enjoyed the great outdoors. They bought their first cabin at Star Lake then moved to a cabin at Moose Lake. They would spend all their weekends at the lake while both still working in Winnipeg. Summer time was for boating, winter time was for snowmobiling, and Al and Edith would spend many hours touring the lake and area. Their last cabin was at Arnes. They loved travelling to Mesa Arizona for thirty years where they made many lasting friendships. They moved to Dalton Grove Estates in Portage la Prairie on June 14, 2001. In her younger years, Edith was an avid bowler. Other favorite activities were baking, playing cards, reading and crossword puzzles. A memorial service and reception will be held at Dalton Grove Estates, 851 Saskatchewan Avenue East, Portage la Prairie, on Wednesday, November 9, 2005 at 1:30 p.m. A private family interment will follow at Hillside Cemetery. As expressions of sympathy, if friends so desire, donations may be made in Edith's memory to Multiple Sclerosis Society of Canada, Central Plains Chapter, 302 Saskatchewan Avenue E., Portage la Prairie, MB R1N 0K8. Arrangements are by: Ronald Moffit Memorial Services (204)856-3487
