HARRIET (RITA) COWARD July 6, 1929 - February 8, 2009 It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Mom on Sunday, February 8, 2009 at the Grace Hospital at the age of 79 years. Born in Alberta, Mom spent most of her life in Winnipeg. She lived life to the fullest and treasured her four children John (Karen), Don (Fran), Marilyn (Peter) and Christelle; grandchildren were her pride and joy John, Jason, Deryk, Brett, Christopher and Matthew; great-grandchildren Taylor, Khalil, Azam, Aahron and Danika; as well as numerous nieces, nephews and friends that filled Auntie Dede's life. She was predeceased by her parents John and Elizabeth Wilson and sister Margaret Jones. Mom loved to work and retired from the Sherbrook Inn at the age of 73 years. She had a no nonsense approach to life, Mom was loved for her understanding, take time approach and her genuine care of people. In compliance with Mom's wishes, no formal funeral service will be held and a private family memorial will be held at a later date.
