DARLENE (DOLLY) FRANKS (nee MANNESS) 1921 - 2010 It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of our mother, Darlene (Dolly) Franks in the little house that she loved so much on June 16 at the age of 89. She was predeceased by our Dad, Earl Franks, her parents, five brothers and two sisters. Mom leaves to cherish her memory, children, Carlyne (Shaun) Murphy, Larry (Georgette) Franks; grandchildren: Clayton (Cicik), Ciandie (Jason), Nancie (Les), Tara (Chris), Brian and Nicole (Darren); great-grandchildren: Dean, Steven, Riley, Echo, Maya, Triton, Alissa and Radia. She was also a special Nanny to Kristen. Also remaining are sister Ethel (Jean) Hughes; brother Allan Manness (Grace); sisters-in-law, Vera Manness, Edwina Manness; and brother-in-law Alan Franks and many nieces, nephews and friends. Mom was a very talented woman. She could build a room or a patio, landscape a yard, sew anything you wanted and she was a wonderful cook. Our home was always open to our friends and they always felt welcomed. She loved to do jigsaw puzzles, listen to music, shop and go out for lunch. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to the Heart and Stroke Foundation, 6 Donald Street, Suite 200, Winnipeg, Manitoba R3L 0K6. Cremation has taken place. Honouring Mom's wishes, an inurnment service will take place on Thursday, June 24 at 2:30 p.m. at Glen Lawn Memorial Gardens, Garden of Devotion.
