ANNETTA MONICA BURNS (nee FLOOD) Suddenly, but peacefully, on Friday, August 11th, 2000, surrounded by her family at Grace Hospital, at the age of 73. Beloved wife to Ross. Annetta was predeceased by her parents, brother, Patrick Flood, sisters, Alice (Furlan) and Margaret Flood. Left to cherish her memory are husband of 50 years, Ross, five children, David, Loretta (Dan) Carpick, Patrick (Laura), Linda (Vince) Coyston, and Cathy (Bob) Bouchard, grandchildren, Ian and Kelly Carpick, Rachel, Stephen and Graham Burns. Also, brother, Cyril Flood of Charleswood, Charlie Flood of Ancaster, Ontario, and sister, Helen Moran of Portage La Prairie, plus numerous cousins, nieces and nephews. Annetta was born in Winnipeg, the youngest of seven children to Daniel and Grace Flood (Kelly). She grew up on the family homestead in Charleswood, where she attended school and shared many happy family memories during her youth and early adulthood. Ross and Annetta were married September 2nd, 1950, and she devoted the next 50 years to raising their family, visiting with her grandchildren and "running the kitchen", which ensured that family gatherings went smoothly. Her kind and gentle nature, simple tastes, sense of humour, and acceptance of everyone endeared her to all who met and knew her.
