Mom was predeceased by our dad Valentine Mckay; son Kenny; grandson Conrad; sons-in-law, Henry Ballantyne and Thomas Fredborg; three grandchildren in infancy; also her parents, Solomon and Annie; nine brothers and four sisters. She is survived by her sister Dora Buck (Joseph) her son Colin (Jeannie) daughters, Elsie (Raymond), Winnie (Henry), Eileen (Stefan) and daughter-in-law Penny. She is also survived by 17 grandchildren, 21 great-grandchildren; and two great-great-grand-children. Mom lived in Grand Rapids most of her life and moved to Selkirk in 1978. Mom enjoyed a simple life, hunting, fishing, trapping, and working on her leather crafts. We are all proud of her accomplishments. She won many prizes at The Pas Trappers Festival for her mukluks, moccasins, jackets, hats, et cetera. Moms loving memories will be kept deep in our hearts, and will be cherished forever. Rest in Peace Mom, until we meet again. We will always love and miss you.
