MARGARET EMILY MENZIES (nee SEAL) Peacefully, on April 6, 2000 at Extendicare Oakview, Emily Menzies passed away at the age of 81 years after a lengthy battle with cancer. Emily was born in Coventry, England in 1918. She and her family immigrated to Canada in 1928, settling in Vogar, Manitoba. She married Philip Menzies in 1942, eventually moving to Winnipeg in 1951. Emily enjoyed knitting and crocheting before her eyesight failed her. She was an independent soul, she liked nothing better than going out and about in her car shopping and doing errands. Another of her chief pleasures was shrimp dinner at Red Lobster and Great World. Emily also loved animals, especially her dogs, and missed them sorely when she was no longer able to have them. Emily was predeceased by her husband Philip, her parents, three brothers and two sisters.
