MAY HUNTER November 15, 1926 - August 30, 2015 Peacefully, surrounded by the love of her family, Mom passed away on Sunday, August 30, 2015, at Country Meadows in Neepawa. Sadly missed and forever loved by her children, Lynn Henderson, Val Fourneaux (Bob), Nancy (Larry Evans), Ginny Collins (Brent), Graham (Lori) and Mardelle Sauerborn (Steve). Much loved Grandma to Scott (Angela), Andrea (Harry), Rob (Heather), Chase (Katie), Lane (Amarra), Ty, Michelle (Blake), Kevin, Sarah (AJ), Kaethel (Jeff) and Ben. Proud GiGi to Ainslee, Brett, Emma, Damon, Caleb and Bentleigh. Remembered with such wonderful memories by her sister Judy Gleadall; brothers George and Lesley; sisters-in-law Mary; Gayle and Elaine as well as numerous nieces and nephews. Predeceased by her husband, life-long love Graham in 2005, granddaughter Jennifer and brothers Ted, Alf and Chuck. Mom was born Bessie May Walker to parents Thomas and Emily. She was raised in East Kildonan where she was a devoted member of the Washington Avenue Mission and Saint Stevens Anglican Church. She shared with pride, such great stories of her first job as a forelady for Kraft Foods in Winnipeg. It was love at first sight for Mom and Dad when they met in her uncle's field in Neepawa and that love just grew stronger as the years went by. They married in 1947 and lived their early years in River Heights where the family attended St. Aidens Anglican church. They made the move to Neepawa in 1963. We celebrated Mom's life with a beautiful graveside service at the Riverside Cemetery in Neepawa, sheltered under the shade of the old oak tree. The service was officiated with so much grace by Rita Friesen to whom we are forever grateful. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Kidney Foundation or CancerCare MB. Whites Funeral Home in care of arrangements, 204-476-2848.
