MILDRED DORIS (MILLIE) BEAUDRY It is with heavy hearts we announce the passing of Millie Beaudry on January 14, 2012, at St. Boniface Hospital, at the age of 85. Millie was born in Elie, Manitoba where she grew up on the farm and attended the one room schoolhouse in Elm Bank. It was here she met and married the love of her life Albert Beaudry. After marrying they moved to the big city and spent most of their 52 years of marriage in the St. Boniface and Windsor Park area. Mom loved to travel, play bingo and enjoyed sports such as bowling, shuffleboard, and horseshoes - and was a fierce competitor! She was a woman of style and always loved to look her best for every occasion. We recall fond memories of summers spent at the cottage at Grand Beach where family and friends were always welcome. She was a devoted mother, grandmother and great-grandmother who cherished every visit with her family. We recently celebrated Mom's 85th birthday where she was in great spirits and thoroughly enjoyed this great milestone with all of the family and many friends. She spoke often of that day in the past number of weeks with a smile on her face and fondness in her heart. Millie was predeceased by her husband Albert, her parents, Irene and Gerald Swenson, brothers Lloyd and Clifford, and a granddaughter Sheri. She will be dearly missed by her children: Marlene Chorley (Alan), Lloyd Beaudry (Louise), Brenda Sanders (Skip), Tara Matthews, grandchildren: Bonnie, Michelle, Tina, Christall, Melisa and Braden, and great-grandchildren: Kayla, Avery-Anne, Kayman, Montana, Daysha, Dawson and Matthew as well as many nieces, nephews, cousins and sister-in-law Andrea Swenson. Millie's family wish to thank all the staff of the Tache Centre (4DE) for their care and compassion during her stay. A very special thanks, as well, to all her friends who took the time to stop by for a visit. In lieu of flowers, if you so choose, donations can be sent to the Heart and Stroke Foundation, 6 Donald Street, Winnipeg, MB R3L 0K6. A celebration of Millie's life will be held at 2:00 p.m. on Saturday, January 21, 2012 at Green Acres Funeral Home. Shared grief is half the sorrow, but happiness when shared is doubled. GREEN ACRES Funeral Home and Cemetery 1 Green Acres Lane, Springfield (204) 222-3241 Hwy. #1 inside the Perimeter at Winnipeg Condolences may be sent to: www.greenacresfuneralhome.com
