MADELEINE MARTHE DUPRE (nee BONNE) On October 6, 2002 at the Park Manor Personal Care Home, Madeleine Marthe Dupre, our cherished mother and grandmother, passed away at age 93 years. Madeleine was born March 22, 1909, in St. Vital, MB. She was predeceased by her loving husband Raymond; and beloved daughter Louise; brothers, Maurice, Marcel, Leo, Bazil, Rene; and sisters, Mary and Georgina. She leaves to mourn and cherish her memory her sons, Jules and George (Margaret) daughter Marie (Frank) sister Ida; brother George; and many, many grandchildren, nieces and nephews. On January 12, 1925, Madeleine married Raymond Dupre. Their first home was a log house on a piece of property called a homestead. They worked very hard to clear the land. In November, they were blessed with twins and later two more children. In 1945, they left their mixed farm and purchased the Milne Block (later known as Dupre Block) where they resided until 1973. Madeleine was an active member of Blessed Sacrament Church, the C.W.L. and the ladies afternoon group. Many happy hours were also spent at the Senior Centre. For the past six and one-half years she received excellent care in the nursing home. Her family is truly grateful for the dedicated and loving care given her by the staff and workers. She was known as "Grandma" to all. Prayers will be said this evening, Tuesday, October 8, at 7:00 p.m. at the Transcona Funeral Chapel, 1800 Day St with Fr. Gary Killen officiating.
