EDITH HILDA THICKFOOT May 16, 1901 April 29, 2006 Peacefully, at the age of 104 years, Edith Thickfoot passed away at the Peguis Senior Centre. Edith leaves to mourn her passing, daughter Gladys Sutherland of Winnipeg; grandchildren, Fjola Hart-Wakekeesikan, Robert Buckley, Michael Hart and Val Cloutier; great-grandchildren, Kim Hart, Nostyn Hart and Kee Syk MacIntyre; nieces, Anna Govereau of Selkirk, Ruby and Caroline Murdock of Fisher River, and nephew Arnold Sinclair of Peguis. Edith was predeceased by her parents, James and Caroline Asham; husband Thomas Thickfoot; son Vernon Thickfoot; daughter Connie Buckley; grandsons, Raymond Sutherland, James and Gerald Thickfoot; sisters, Mary Sinclair, Margaret Smith, and Ruby Vidal; brothers, Howard, Orton, and Ebenezer Asham. Edith had always led a very active life. She was well known at home and the surrounding areas for her fine cooking and baking talents, one of them being wedding cakes. Many of Edith's family members were enlisted in the Canadian Army and she always considered it an honour and privilege when asked to participate in the Hodgson Legion Branch events, such as laying a wreath at the Remembrance Day services. Edith lived at home in Dallas where in earlier years she ran a boarding house and cafe. Since 1990 Edith resided in the Peguis Senior Centre and in spite of her age was quite well until her passing. Honorary pallbearers are Peguis Senior Centre Residents and Staff, Hodgson Legion Branch #158 - Ladies Auxiliary members, and Peguis Seniors Club members. Pallbearers are great-nieces, Terry Kirkness, Gail Govereau/Asham, Angie and Irene Govereau; great-nephews, Doug and Glen Murdock. Wake service will be held Monday, May 1, 2006 at 8:00 p.m. Funeral service will be held Tuesday, May 2 with viewing beginning at 1:00 to 2:00 p.m. Both services will be held at St. Matthew's Anglican Church with interment to follow at St. Peter's Anglican Church Cemetery, Peguis, MB. Revs. Wesley Barrett and Barry Bear officiating. Thank you to the staff of Peguis Senior Centre for the wonderful care given to Edith these past years and to the Peguis Chief and Council.
