MARGARET GLADYS HOLDEN (nee MANN) Peacefully following a lengthy illness, it is with sadness we announce the death of our mother and grandmother, on Friday, January 5, 2001, Margaret Gladys Holden, age 75, at St. Boniface General Hospital. Mom will be sadly missed. Left to cherish her memory are sons, Garry and Larry; grandchildren, Brenda, Jody and Timmy; brothers, Clarence Mann (Marylou), Jack Mann (Anne) and sister Dorothy Laurie; daughter-in-law Judy Holden, and many nieces and nephews. She was predeceased by her loving husband Oliver in 1988, her father Laughlin Mann, mother Sigrid Mann (nee Freeberg) and brother-in-law Allan Holden (Marion). Margaret was born in Sioux Lookout, Ont., on June 15, 1925, later moving to Winnipeg and joining the Canadian Womens Army Corps. She was employed by Carters Auction Rooms for 25 years, retiring due to illness. Interment will take place at a later date. We would like to thank all the doctors, nurses and staff of St. Boniface General Hospital for the care they gave our mother. If friends so desire donations in Margarets memory may be made to St. Boniface General Hospital Research Foundation, 409 Tache Ave., Winnipeg, Man., R2H 2A6. You can only have one mother, Patient, kind and true, No other friend in all the world, Will be the same as you, When other friends forsake you, To mother you will turn, For all her loving kindness, She asks nothing in return, As we look upon her picture, Sweet memories we recall, Of a face full of sunshine, And a smile for one and all, Sweet Jesus, take this message, To our dear mother up above, Tell her how we miss her, And give her all our love.
