DOROTHY LABELLE Peacefully on March 1, 2009 at the Victoria General Hospital, Dorothy Anne (nee Hildebrandt) Labelle passed away at the age of 65 years.

Her siblings Peggy Wiebe (Jim), Carol Berg (Bob), Elaine Bremer (Jim), James Hildebrandt (Jinell), John Hildebrandt, Joey Hildebrandt (Sharon), as well as many very close friends and neighbours.

We would like to thank the staff of the Victoria General Hospital for their care and compassion. Flowers are gratefully declined; donations can be made to CancerCare Manitoba in memory of Dorothy. Memorial service will be held at 2:00 p.m. on Thursday, March 5, 2009 at the Fort Richmond Baptist Church, 10 Radcliffe Road, Fort Richmond. A private family gathering will be held at the Labelle residence following the service. Interment will take place at a later date. We all know that she is now in a very beautiful peaceful place with her Lord in Heaven.
