She is also survived by sisters, Charlotte, Mable, Denise, Theresa, Mae and Joyce; also brothers, Frank and Eldon. Throughout her life she was a loving wife, mother, and grandmother who was always there for her family and friends before herself. She spent her life looking after people in need. She also was passionate about looking after Donnie, her son, and was an advocate for the disabled. Mom spent most of her adult life in Winnipeg and Beausejour. She was a member of the Ladies Auxiliary at the Beausejour Legion and her and Henry were also affiliated with the Korean War Veterans Association. Mom worked at various jobs throughout her life and retired from Sears at Polo Park where she worked last. Honor was an avid gardener and every fall she would be doing lots of canning. She always had beautiful plants in her house and flowers in the yard. She was a wonderful cook and loved to bake and there were many parties, celebrations and special dinners with family and friends. Mom enjoyed travelling and attending the family reunions when ever possible. Family was always her priority. She loved her pets and had several dogs, cats and birds throughout her life and on the farm. The family would like to thank River East Personal Care Home for their excellent care and who were also a great source of comfort. Cremation has taken place and a memorial service and celebration of her life will take place at Wheeler Funeral Chapel on Friday, June 1, 2007, at 1:00 p.m. If friends so wish, in lieu of flowers, donations may be made on her behalf to the Alzheimers Society or Humane Society.
