Mom was born on December 3, 1918 in Strathclair, MB to Ruby and Claude Brereton. She moved to Winnipeg as a young woman and resided there until 1993 when she moved to the Birchwood Apartments in Steinbach, MB. Mom loved all types of crafts, even inventing many different kinds, and she happily shared them with everyone she knew. Her great-grandchildren were one of her greatest joys. Special appreciation is extended to Beatrices many home care providers. They were like family to her and she thought and spoke of them with sincere affection.
