ISOBEL HARTRY (nee MORAN) 1914-1999 After a brief yet courageous battle, it is with great sorrow that we announce the passing of our mother, grandmother, great grandmother, sister and friend on November 13, 1999 at the Saint Boniface Hospital in Winnipeg. Relieved that she is now in Gods hands, we are saddened by the immense loss. Isobel leaves to mourn and cherish her memory her three children, Karren (Jim) Middagh, Reid (Heather) Hartry and Don (Wanda) Hartry. She also leaves behind her grandchildren, Jay (Kim), Todd and Stephanie Middagh as well as Tristan, Shane and Zoa Hartry. Also saddened by the loss of their "Gi-Gi" are great grandchildren Brennan and Emily Middagh. Her husbands, Howard Gray and Fred Hartry as well as a large majority of her many brothers and sisters predeceased Isobel. She is survived by three of her sisters, Molly Hohnstein, Louise Freedman and Pat Shepherd. Isobel had a zeal for life like no other. She loved to travel and lived in many places. Throughout her life she lived in The Pas, Calgary, Flin Flon and then settled in Winnipeg. Her trips around the world were often done in the company of family or independently. Wherever she travelled she always seemed to meet new people and make new friends. Her favourite destinations were Greece and Spain. This love for travel and dancing in exotic places was something that she did until a few short years ago. For those who knew Isobel well, they would be aware of her frank honesty. She was never afraid to speak her mind and let you know just what she thought. This quality was certainly one of her many charms. She was also a very generous woman who enjoyed giving to strangers that she met throughout her life. Although no longer with us, the memory of this generous woman will live on in the hearts and the spirits of anyone who knew her. The family would like to express their sincere thanks to the many people who supported Isobel. This includes Dr. Katz, Dr. Battad and the entire staff of the 6A South at the Saint Boniface Hospital. Their personal care and understanding during this difficult time was appreciated. In adherence to Isobels wishes, cremation will take place and her cremated remains will return to the place of her birth in The Pas. She will then join her beloved mother and her cherished brother in their resting spots. A memorial service will be held on Isobels birthday, December 18. This service will take place at Sainte Emile Church, 556 St. Annes Road at 1:30 p.m. Your condolences are appreciated. Instead of flowers, please make donations in Isobels memory to St. Boniface General Hospital Research Foundation, D 1003-409 Tache Ave. Winnipeg, MB R2H 9Z9.
