MILDRED SELINA LUSIGNAN (nee SHAW) It is with deep sorrow and a great feeling of loss that we announce the sudden passing of our beloved mother, grandmother and great-grandmother on Friday, December 21, 2007 at the age of 88 years, at the Lorne Memorial Hospital in Swan Lake, MB. Millie was predeceased by her loving husband Wilfred (Willie), sisters Jessie, Irene, Ivy, Hazel, Joan, and brothers Harry and Jim.

She is also survived by sister-in-law Edna Haire. Millie was born in Oakville, MB on December 7, 1919 to Malcolm and Selina Shaw. Millie married Wilfred Lusignan in 1946, settling in the Altamont district and together farmed for 47 years. After Willie's passing in 1993, she moved to Somerset and in 2001 making her residence in the Somerset Manor. Millie enjoyed countless hours in her garden tending to her flowers. She also took great pleasure in taking rides to the farm with family. Much of Millie's time was spent with her children, grandchildren and great-grand-children that she loved very much. She played cards and loved to read. A service of remembrance will be held in the Notre Dame de la Nativite Catholic Church in Somerset on Saturday, December 29, 2007 at 2:00 p.m. with Rev.
