ROBERTA BRUCE Peacefully and courageously on Thursday, November 4, 1999 at St. Boniface Hospital, Roberta Anne Bruce, born in Winnipeg, August 6, 1947. Survived by her son Dean Gregory of Seattle; daughter Robin Quinn (husband Graham) and grandsons Tanner and Jason of Winnipeg; sister Linda Good (husband Oliver) and niece and nephew Carla and Joel of Stony Mountain, Winnipeg and Balmoral respectively; long-time and devoted companion Ken Ellchuk of Stony Mountain; Lloyd Hryniuk (Father of Dean and Robin). Predeceased by Mother Jessie Bruce in 1967 and Grandmother Gladys Stewart in 1983. Our Mum loved her Stony Mountain home and garden, writing, reading, fall suppers, bargain hunting, travelling, baking and coffee time, but was always most happy when she was dancing. Adventurous and spiritual in all her endeavours. A great advocate and activist for social justice. A dedicated and proud letter carrier. Her grandchildren were an endless source of pride and joy and she spent much of her time with them. Heartfelt thanks to the caregivers in the Palliative Ward for their great care and compassion. A service in honour of Roberta will be held at Holy Trinity Anglican Church, corner of Donald and Graham St., Winnipeg on Monday, November 8 at 1:00 p.m. Interment to follow at Erinview Cemetery, All Saints Anglican Church, Erinview, Manitoba. At peace, with her Mum and dancing with Angels! MacKenzie Funeral Home, Stonewall in care of arrangements.
