KATHLEEN (KAYE) LAMB (nee AVERY) With heavy hearts, we announce the death of our Mother, Grandmother, Sister and Aunt - Kaye Lamb on September 27, 2013 at the age of 95. Kaye was predeceased by her parents Alan and Marjorie Avery, her husband Jack, her son Ken and her grandson Jeremy. She leaves to mourn her passing, her daughter Marjorie Nielsen, husband Wayne (Halifax), daughter Joyce Cheetham, husband Clive and their children Morgan and Elena (Hawaii), her son Murray (Winnipeg), and her son Doug, wife Wendy and their children Brianne, Taibra and Cailynn (Winnipeg), her sisters Joan and Edith and several nieces and nephews. Kaye was born in England to her war bride mother, Marjorie and her soldier father Alan. She came to Canada with them at the age of one year and lived in Austin, MB and later Nesbitt, MB until she left to attend Brandon College, MB at the age of 15. She taught in a one-room school house for grades 1-10 near Nesbitt, MB and then Grosse Isle, MB where she met and married her husband John (Jack) Lamb. She helped him run their family farm and raised their children, for 15 years, before they moved to Winnipeg. Kaye taught as a substitute teacher at Charleswood Collegiate while she was a homemaker. Later she worked in the outerwear department at Sears Canada until retirement. She lived for many years at Lions Place, where she had many friends and thoroughly enjoyed the evening activities (cards, bingo) and the Lion's Place bus to restaurants, shopping and excursions. A celebration of her life will be held on Friday, October 4 at 2:00 p.m. at Lion's Place, 610 Portage Ave. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the charity of your choice. The family wishes to thank Dr. P. Harris for her many years of concerned care. We love you, Mom and will miss you always.
