Bobbie died peacefully at home on her 79th birthday, April 23, 2026, held by her love Cathe, with PK and Ruby her beloved Yorkies by her side. She was a truly unique and remarkable woman, a masterful storyteller with a wry sense of humour, especially known for her legendary animal stories.
A photo biography honouring Bobbie’s life is accessible through the 'tributes' link below.
She is survived by her loving wife Cathe Umlah; her daughters, Bonnie Brotherston Bagley (Jon), Heather Brotherson (Troy) and Robin Brotherston all of Winnipeg, as well as step-children Delaney Ellis (Jon) and Jarrett Miller (Carlie). Grandchildren Will Sikora (Larissa), Ethan Harris (Florence), Malcolm Harris (Katelyn), Nyah Elliott, Hudson Ellis, Logan Ellis and Emmett Miller. As well as great-grandchildren Nash, Liv and Darcy. For someone who was lonely as an only child, she was so fortunate to create and be part of such a large and loving family.
A funeral service will be held at 2:00 p.m. on May 14, 2026, at the Unitarian Church, 603 Wellington Cres. Winnipeg. In lieu of flowers, Bobbie asked you to reach out to loved ones and tell them how much they mean to you.
