She will be lovingly remembered by her grandchildren, Christi Courage Wiltse, Carson Courage, Patrick and Courtney Morrison. She is survived by her sister Marjorie Howatt (Jack) and sisters-in-law, Nellie Argue, Marg Argue and Vernia Morrison Game; as well as many nieces and nephews. Cremation has taken place. A graveside memorial service will be held in Winnipeg at a later date. As an expression of sympathy, memorial contributions may be made to the charity of your choice. We would like to thank all the family and friends who have been so thoughtful and helpful to us.
