Send Flowers to the Family Offer Condolences or MemoryVELMA GENEREUX December 9, 1936 - December 14, 2007 It is with deepest sadness that after a very brief illness we announce the passing of our beloved mother, mother-in-law and grandmother. Velma met and married the love of her life, Albert Genereux, in 1954. They were blessed with four children and made Transcona their home. Velma was widowed at the young age of 35, and dedicated her life to raising her children. She retired after a long career in the dry cleaning industry. She enjoyed her summers at the cabin, which was a favourite family gathering spot. Velma will be lovingly remembered by her children; daughters, Arlene (Ian) and Karen (Tim), son Barry, grandchildren, Joshua, Matthew, Marcie, Coty, Jared, Travis, Chase, Shane, Taylor, great-grandchildren, Amiah, and Daelan, her sister Tena and brother Ken. She was predeceased by her husband Albert, parents, brothers and sisters and most recently by her cherished daughter Darlene. Special thanks to Rachael, Dr. St. Godard and the Palliative Care team whose help enabled us to fulfill Mom's wishes. A private family service has taken place. If friends so desire, memorial contributions may be made to the Canadian Cancer Society. GREEN ACRES Funeral Home and Cemetery Hwy. #1 E. at Navin, (204) 222-3241 Life stories may be shared with friends and family across the globe at www.mem.com

I was so shocked to hear about your mom's passing and also your sister. I worked with your mom at King Cleaners on Britannica. Your mom was a wonderful and kind person. I will never forget her. My deepest condolences to the family. I can feel your pain as I lost my mother 3 years ago. Louise Couper - Posted by: Louise Couper (Co-Worker) on: Dec 27, 2007

To Arlene, Karen, Barry and their families. It was my pleasure to reconnect with your Mother over the last 15 years or so. We didn't bump into each other often, but when we did I felt a peace about me. The Greig family wasn't one to stay in touch, were they? My Dad, Irvin, talked about all of you quite often, especially when he and Mom lived in Carman. During that short period of time, his reconnection to his family was good for his soul. We are extremely saddened for both of your recent losses. - Posted by: Jan Greig (Family) on: Dec 22, 2007
