BEATRICE (BEA) CUMMING On Thursday, May 1, 2008, we bid an affectionate farewell to Bea, as she embarked from Grace Hospital Palliative care on her final excursion after a siege with cancer; it was an offer she couldn't refuse. At age 82 years, she gracefully accepted. Remaining to forever cherish Bea's memory are several nieces and nephews; her extended Cumming family ; as well as her younger sister Cecile (Clare) Brooks. She was predeceased by her beloved husband William in 1985 after nine years of marriage. Bea was from a family of three girls. Her parents and eldest sister have gone before her. For many years, she worked in Eatons Photography, until the closing of the department, she then went on to change careers. After 25 years with the Canadian Grain Commission, she and her husband Bill retired to Beausejour. After Bill's demise, she returned to adapt to another new life in Winnipeg. She then took more interest in participation as a member of the St. James Legion Branch. Entombment will be held on Thursday, May 8 at 12:00 noon in the Queen of Heaven Mausoleum in Assumption Roman Catholic Cemetery, 3990 Portage Avenue. A come and go gathering to celebrate Bea's life will follow in the Chapel of Memories in Wojcik's Funeral Chapel, 2157 Portage Avenue at Sharp Boulevard.
