DOLARINE RUBY (DOLLY) DUCHARME (nee FLEURY) November 26, 1924 July 26, 2007 It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Dolarine Ruby (Dolly) Ducharme on Thursday, July 26, 2007 at the Misericordia Health Centre. Dolly will be lovingly missed by her daughters, Jeanne Ducharme (Clifford) and Irene Bockstael (Larry); grandchildren, Christine and Ryan Ducharme, and Alison, Jeffrey and Andrew Bockstael and great-grandson, Christopher Ducharme. She is also survived by her sisters, Jeanne, Thelma, Faye and Dorothy and by her brothers, Stanley, Donald and Albert. She was predeceased by her husband Albert, her parents, Fred and Ruby Fleury, her brothers, Merrick and Raymond and her sister, Aleta. Dolly was born in Rocanville, Saskatchewan and later moved to St. Lazare where, by chance, she met Albert Ducharme, who was visiting friends. They married in 1945 and moved to St. Boniface where she raised two daughters. For 20 years she worked at St. Boniface Hospital as a housekeeping supervisor, a job that she was very dedicated to. After retiring, Dolly's first passion was her family and grandchildren. Her favourite pastime was spending time with her daughters whenever she could. Her visits to her daughter's home in Ste Rita and summer visits to the cottage at Lake of the Woods were highlights of her later years. Most weekends, until her health began to fail, you could find Dolly having coffee with friends at Chicken Delight. She loved to laugh and maintained her great sense of humour right to her last days. Dolly's family wishes to extend their sincere appreciation to the excellent nursing staff and care workers at Misericordia Health Centre, Cornish Wing, 6th Floor. Dolly was very fortunate to have spent her last days amongst such caring and compassionate people. We would also like to extend a special thank you to Michelle and Father Vince for their support during this difficult time. Funeral mass will be celebrated 1:00 p.m. Tuesday, July 31, 2007 at St. Bernadette Parish, 820 Cottonwood Dr., the Rev. Fr. Fred Olds, celebrant. Interment will follow in Green Acres Cemetery. Viewing will take place one half hour prior to the service. The pallbearers will be Messrs. Ryan and Christopher Ducharme, Jeffrey and Andrew Bockstael, and Dennis and John Ducharme. In lieu of flowers, donations in Dolly's memory may be made to the Misericordia Health Centre, 99 Cornish Ave., Winnipeg, R3C 1A2. We will miss you, Mom.
