Send Flowers to the Family Offer Condolences or MemoryGWEN STOREY It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our mother and grandmother Gwen Storey, on January 25, 2016. Gwen was predeceased by her loving husband, Donald, in 1992. Gwen was a warm, caring person with a great sense of humour. She always had a smile and a kind word for everybody, and usually a witty comeback. She will be greatly missed by her children, Margaret (Iimo), Fred (Linda), David (Coleen) and Anne (Gerard); and grandchildren, Jean, Anne, Sean, Bobbie, Sam, Alexa and Erica; her niece Joyce; her nephews, Don and Scott; and her dearest friends Carol, Helen, Helga and Pearl. Gwen was born in Wellwood Manitoba on October 8, 1922 to Beatrice and Wilfred Pearce. The family, including Gwen's older sister Beth, moved to Plumas soon after and then to Winnipeg. She met her husband Don at Acklands where they both worked and they married in 1949. They worked together at Walter Woods and after retirement they enjoyed traveling to Europe and warm winter spots. Gwen spent 12 happy years living in the Betelstadur Senior's Cooperative where she loved volunteering with the meal program, the store and anywhere else she was needed. We thank the people at Calvary Personal Care Home for taking such good care of Gwen in her last year. A memorial service will be held at Calvary Place Personal Care Home at 1325 Erin St., on Saturday, January 30 at 12:00 noon. In lieu of flowers, donations could be made to the Heart and Stroke Foundation.

We are very sorry to hear of Gwen's passing. We have been sending her Christmas cards for many years and she was always so kind to reply even if it was her daughter, Anne scribing for her! We are sure this was probably a difficult first Christmas without her but hopefully fond memories carried you through. Deepest sympathies, Kevin, Angela, Wyatt and William Scoble - Posted by: Kevin and Angela Scoble (Family friend) on: Jan 09, 2017
