DAY: After a brief illness our mom, grandma, and great grandma, Isabel Day, passed away on April 30, 2013 at the age of 89 years at Brandon Regional Health Centre. Left to cherish her memory are her children: Lorraine Hodgson (Garth), Betty McGill (Dave), and Murray Day, (Marilyn); grandchildren Bruce Hodgson, Craig Hodgson (Kate), Brent Kyle (Leanne), Jerron Kyle (Lindsey Lynch), Desiree Day (Dan Roque), and Courtney Day (Jon McLoughlin); great grandchildren Lily and Sophie Hodgson, Cole and Connor Hodgson, and Ella Kyle; also her sister, Edith Marson, brother Jim Wood (Pat) and sister-in-law, Nell Day. Isabel was predeceased by her husband, Clifford, in 1988. Mom was the third child, one of twin girls born to Will and Lily Wood. Big brother George and younger brother Jim completed the family. Isabel and Cliff were married in 1941. When Cliff went overseas, Mom lived and worked in Winnipeg. She and Cliff returned to Killarney after the war to farm1/2 mile east on the Neelin Road. Hard work, sound business decisions, and determination made their farm successful. Mom always believed in giving back to her community. Over the years she participated in the Women’s Institute, the Legion, and several groups affiliated with Holy Trinity Anglican Church. She enjoyed many wonderful trips after retirement. Mom excelled at bowling, outscoring every family member! Mom knit countless pairs of mitts and stitched dozens of quilts for anyone who needed them. Her latest hobby was creating scrapbooks for children with cancer. Our mom was a wonderful role model to her family. She lived her life with kindness and grace.We’ll miss you!If you care to make a donation in Isabel’s memory, please choose a charity close to your heart.
