ELVA JUANITA NAGAM It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved mother in the early morning hours of March 16, 2008 at the age of 75 years. Left to mourn are her loving children Sharon (Jim), Melvin (Monika), Denis (Kathy), Larry, Bonnie, Greg (Marie), Jeff (Beverly), Rhonda (Miguel), Rod (Shana), numerous grandchildren, great-grandchildren, nieces and nephews. She was predeceased by her mother Marie, son Gary, her brother Keith, her daughter-in-law Gloria, great-grandson Daniel, and by her loving husband of 60 years, Lewis. Mom loved horseshoes, darts, curling, playing cards, watching hockey, knitting, gardening, bingo, and most of all spending time with her family. Mom always said that her greatest accomplishments in life were her children and teaching them that love and faith were the most important things. When asked what she would change if she could, she said not a thing because I had a good life, a good husband, and wonderful kids . She cherished watching them, seeing them grow, and becoming successful at what she taught them. With ten children, it was not surprising that mom always enjoyed the alone time her and dad spent at the cabin, or a rare quiet evening at home. Mom's passion for life, selflessness and courage would allow her to overcome many of her physical challenges. No matter what family event was occurring, she would face it with an inner strength that humbled all of us. We will miss you always, although we will find comfort knowing that you are in Dad's arms once again. The family would like to extend their thanks to all the staff at Tudor House of Selkirk for the love and care that they gave our mom during her stay. We would also like to thank the staff at Selkirk General Hospital for making mom comfortable during her final days. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Arthritis Society. Memorial service will be held on Thursday, March 20, 2008 at 1:00 p.m. at the MacKenzie Funeral Chapel, 433 Main St., Stonewall, with Pastor Claire Speary officiating. MacKenzie Funeral Home, Stonewall in care of arrangements.
