MARY (MONA) DUDDRIDGE (nee O' CONNOR)
August 15, 1938 – December 10, 2016
Mona Duddridge (nee O'Connor), was born on August 15, 1938, in Ireland, and passed away on Saturday, December 10, 2016 at De Salaberry District Health Centre, St. Pierre, MB.
She is survived by her loving husband Terry; children: Anthony (Sandy), Kevin (Ruth), Paul (Rhonda), Claire (Henry) and Brendan (Linda); their sixteen treasured grandchildren plus twelve great-grandchildren.
She will also be greatly missed by her five remaining brothers and sister.
She emigrated from England to Winnipeg, Canada with her family in 1967. As an artist, Mona made many contributions, working and developing the Transcona museum. She used her talents through story- telling on CBC children's radio and Radio Riyadh in Saudi Arabia. She has left us with many beautiful acrylic paintings demonstrating her lively use of colour. These express her love of life and captivate the essence of the many different countries in which she has lived and visited throughout the world.
The funeral mass will be held on Friday December 16, 2016 at 11:00 a.m. at Christ Our Saviour Catholic Church, 365 Loewen Blvd., Steinbach, Manitoba. Cremation has taken place.
If friends desire, donations in memory of Mona may be made to CancerCare Manitoba Foundation.
