MARY HELEN WILSON (DEVINE) It is with great sadness that the family of Mary Helen Wilson announces her passing at the Grace Hospital on Monday, December 11, 2006. Mary was born April 22, 1915 at Pilot Mound, Manitoba. She was predeceased by her husband Alexander Wilson; parents, John and Martha; sisters, Ethel, Elsie, Nora, Grace and Jessie; brothers, John, Thomas and Peter; and son-in-law Robert Tugwell. Mary is survived by her sister Alice Snell; daughter Carolynn Tugwell; grandchildren, Randy, Rodney, Rick (Vicki), Laurie (Jamie), Cindy, Christopher, Jason (Kristi), Michael (Menolly), great-grandchildren and great-great-grandchildren. Granny was a lady with great character who had a keen sense of humour and a sparkling wit. She loved music, poetry, reading, crossword puzzles or a game of cards, but most of all, she enjoyed just to sit with company and enjoy a cup of tea. We will miss her stories about days gone by, but most of all, we will miss her companionship. We somehow thought Granny would always be with us. She will be lovingly remembered and forever missed. Special thanks to Mildred with Home Care for her many years of dedicated care and special attention and to Sheila for her cherished companionship. A family service will be held on Friday, December 15 at 3:30 p.m. at Chapel Lawn Reception Centre. God hath not promised Skies always blue. Flower-strewn pathways, All our lives through. God hath not promised Sun without rain Joy without sorrow Peace without pain. But God hath promised Strength for the day Rest for the labour Light for the way Grace for the trials Help from above Unfailing sympathy Undying love. Arrangements entrusted to Chapel Lawn Funeral Home Cremation and Reception Centre. 885-9715.
