Nana loved to be surrounded by her family as much as they loved to be around her. She cherished, and always had time for her 31 grandchildren, 39 great-grandchildren, and two great-great-grandchildren. Mom was born on May 14, 1923, in Winnipeg, MB. She met Dad at an early age and they were married in 1939. Other than a short period of time when they were stationed in Camp Shilo, MB, with R.C.E.M.E., they resided and raised their family in Winnipeg. Her love of children was evident throughout the years as she cared for many special needs day care children in her home. Even Alzheimers could not diminish her great love for these children whom she remembered and spoke about up to just recently. She was so proud of the awards and acknowledgments given to her for her achievements with these children. She truly was a mother to more than her own. The family wishes to extend their heartfelt thanks to her home care workers and to the exceptional nursing staff in the Emergency Department, and on 3N of Grace General Hospital. A special thank you for the kindness and consideration shown to the family by Dr. Gooi in this most difficult time.

He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: He leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul: He leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for His names sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for Thou art with me; Thy rod and Thy staff they comfort me. Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: Thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever. We will always love and miss you Mom.
