She is also remembered by other family members and friends. Her volunteer work has been much appreciated by UNICEF, which presented her with an award for 50 years of faithful service. She was also a founding member of the Manitoba Opera Guild Association, a lifelong supporter of the Winnipeg Symphony Orchestra and a 10-year volunteer to the St. Boniface General Hospital research department. Also, Edith served as a volunteer at Middlechurch Home for more than 20 years where she assisted residents and staff in any way she was able. Ironically, these same staff members, who came to know and love Edith as a volunteer, welcomed her back warmly as a resident. The family would like to thank the Middlechurch Home, its staff members and volunteers for their care and kindness. We thank them greatly for making Ediths last years most pleasant and loving.
