Willie loved life and she really lived life! For more than 25 years she tirelessly volunteered countless hours of her time to the St. Agnes Guild at Children's Hospital. In the early 1970s as a coach to her young daughters, Willie helped pioneer the sport of ringette in the Wildwood Park area of Fort Garry. She enjoyed many social excursions with the Up the River Gang , and loved to entertain friends and family at the cottage on Falcon Lake and at the family's long time home on South Drive. Willie was a wonderful gardener, a brilliant puzzle solver, and an avid sports fan, especially when her grandchildren were involved. Her quick wit, great sense of humour, and engaging smile will be missed. At Willie's request there will be no service.

She stood in the shadows so others could shine. She loved a lot in her time. George Jones
