Mom loved her family and was always eager to hear about our adventures. Mom was a real people person. She loved company and there was always coffee and baking ready when someone dropped by. Weekends spent at Lee River were among Mom's favourite times as Nanny loved the water. Crafting was a big part of Mom's life. We are fortunate to have afghans, doilies, dolls and later handmade cards, all lovingly made by her. Coronation Street has lost one of its most loyal fans. Christmas was Mom's favourite holiday and we were blessed to have had one more family Christmas with her on Boxing Day. Our family would like to thank the staff at Red River Place Personal Care Home for their love, care and compassion. Honorary Pallbearers are her 11 grand-children and 8 great-grandchildren who were her pride and joy. Donations in Mom's memory can be made to the Gimli Adult Day Program or GCHC Healing Garden, P.O. Box 250, Gimli, MB R0C 1B0. A Celebration of Mom's life will be held on Saturday, February 9, 2013, 1:00 p.m. at the Royal Canadian Legion, Gimli, MB. Goodnight Sweet Nanny. You have been a Gift. When we wrap ourselves up in one of our blankets from you it will be like a hug from Heaven.
