GERTRUDE McINNIS 1909 - 2001 It is with great sadness that we announce the sudden passing of our dear aunt Gertrude McInnis on July 10, 2001 at the Health Sciences Centre Winnipeg, MB at the age of 92. Gertrude was born October 17, 1909 in Grandview MB, one of five daughters of Angus and Mary Ann McInnis. She graduated from high school in Grandview and attended Teachers Training to become a teacher. She taught in rural country schools around Grandview and 20 years in Dauphin before moving to Winnipeg in 1953. She taught for 10 years at Weston School. Her teaching career spanned 39 years and of those years she was absent from her teaching duties for only 10 days. Teaching was her life, and up until the last she was a lifelong learner and always encouraged her loved ones to continue with their education. Gertrude was predeceased by her parents; her sisters, Margaret McGirr, Jessie Tweedy, Christina Robb, and just recently, her sister Winnifred McInnis in October 2000. Gertrude is survived by her nephew Garwood Robb, and fiancee Judy Kalichak; his two sons, Trevor Robb and his wife Sonia and their sons, Quentin and Brayden, Lauren Robb and his wife Andrea; her nephew Bill Tweedy in Toronto; and her niece Carol Davison and husband Dayle in Kelowna.
