LISA ANN WELCH April 3, 1968 - March 21, 2009 It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of our cherished Lisa Ann Welch on March 21, 2009 at St. Boniface Hospital, where she was born 40 years previously. Left to mourn her are her parents Gilbert and Irene Welch, brothers, Michael, Stephen (Vanessa), sister Nicole (Ben), nieces, Sarah, Maya, Elizabeth, and nephew Thomas, along with aunts, uncles, cousins, and countless friends. Her early childhood was spent in Morris, MB. She moved to Winnipeg with her family in 1976, attended John Pritchard School, St. Mary's Academy and University of Manitoba. She became a dietitian and worked in Brandon, St. Boniface Hospital and the Youville Clinic. Lisa was a treasure to those who knew her. She had a way of making people feel special. She had no difficulty meeting new people, and within minutes going from strangers to a fast friendship. She inspired us all by running the Manitoba Half Marathon in June 2004. Crossing the finish line was one of her proudest moments. Through out her illness, she drew on that moment for strength. She was, and continues to be, our hero. Lisa's family wishes to thank the following people: Dr. Paul Daeninck - a very special person - for his gentle and compassionate care, Tracy, and all the nurses and support staff in the chemo unit of St. Boniface General Hospital for their ongoing love and support and the staff on 5B, for their dedication and compassion. A Memorial Mass will be held at 2:00 p.m. on Friday, March 27, 2009 at Holy Redeemer Catholic Church, 264 Donwood Dr. with reception to follow. Interment at a later date. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the CancerCare Manitoba or Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation. GLEN LAWN FUNERAL HOME 982-7550
