WINNIFRED LEIGHTON (nee OSWALD) Sadly after a brief but sudden illness, Winnie at the age of 74 passed away peacefully at St. Boniface Hospital on Friday, November 11, 2005 with her family at her side. Winnie was predeceased by her mother Emma and father Edward Oswald as well as her nephew Kevin Oswald and sister-in-law Ruth Oswald. A devoted and loving mother she will be terribly missed by her two sons, David, Murray (Michelle) and her grandson Christopher of Oliver, BC. Winnie is also survived by her brother Kurt Oswald of Winnipeg; her two sisters, Millie (Hugh) Atkinson and Rita (Ron) Allison both of Vancouver, BC as well as many nieces and nephews. Winnie was born April 28, 1931 in Charleswood, MB and attended Charleswood Elementary and Chapman High School. While Winnie's main focus in life was to raise and take care of her two boys she also managed to find time to have a career in banking until she retired from the Portage and Ainslie branch of the Toronto Dominion Bank. Cremation will take place and a private service for family will be held to celebrate our loving memories of Winnie's life. Flowers are gratefully declined but if you wish, donations may be made to the Heart and Stroke Foundation, 200-6 Donald St., Winnipeg, MB R3L 0K6 in remembrance of Winnie.
