JEAN FERGUSON On Thursday, August 22, 2002, at home with her family by her side, Mom lost her courageous battle with cancer, at the age of 70. She was predeceased by her husband Stuart; her parents Russell and Betty Thomson and her birth mother Sybil Thomson. Left to cherish her memory are daughters, Janie Penner, Wendy (Phil) Roy, Brenda (Merv) Braun; son Russell (Debbie) "special" cousin Brenda (Peter) Meadows; devoted dog Sandy; 10 grandchildren and two great-granddaughters. Jeans gift of music was one of her favourite pastimes, playing the piano with her band, "The Rhythm Makers," entertaining at senior homes all over Winnipeg. No family gathering was complete without a sing along lead by her at the piano. The family cottage at Ingolf was her favourite retreat spent with family and friends. To know her was to love her, as her pleasant personality and friendly nature was contagious. Many heartfelt thanks to the Palliative Home Care workers for their care and compassion. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Jeans memory to the Hospice and Palliative Care Manitoba, 2109 Portage Ave., Winnipeg, MB, R3J 0L3, or to the Winnipeg Humane Society, 5 Kent Rd., Winnipeg, MB, R2L 1X3.
