MARY DODSWORTH (nee KNELSON) (formerly ADAMS) It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our dear Aunt on November 17, 2011 at the age of 96 years. Mary will be lovingly remembered and deeply missed by her numerous nieces and nephews. She goes to join her dear husband, Stewart Dodsworth; her precious son, Wally Adams; her parents Mary (nee Sawatzky) and Peter Knelson, and her siblings, Peter Knelson, Abe Knelson, Kay Dyck, Agatha Friesen and Nettie Dyck. Mary was born in Herbert, Saskatchewan but lived in Manitoba for most of her life. She lived in Plum Coulee as a young girl and at the age of 12 was sent to work in Sommerfeld and fondly referred to her employers as her second family. As an adult she lived in Altona, Winnipeg and Winkler. Mary was a talented seamstress with a keen eye for detail. She was a proud, independent woman who enjoyed gardening, bowling and playing cards. She liked being busy and always had a project on the go. Special thanks are extended to the staff at Concordia Place for their care and compassion during her residency. Funeral Service will be held on November 23, 2011 at 11:00 a.m., at Friends Funeral Service Inc., 2146 Main Street, Winnipeg, Manitoba, with Hugo Unruh officiating. Interment will follow in the Elmwood Cemetery. Wiebe Funeral Home Altona Ltd. 204-324-5404 in charge of arrangements.
