FLORENCE HELEN SMITH (nee PROKOP) On October 10, 2003 with her loving twin girls at her side, Florence entered peacefully into eternal rest. She is survived by daughters, Rosiland Staple (Brian) and Roberta Lamoureux (Marcel) five grandchildren, Cheri, Wayne, Darrell, Steven, Michelle and also five great-grandchildren. Also left to mourn her passing are sister Eleanor Nadalin and brother Morris Prokop. She was predeceased by her husband Frederick Herbert in 1996; siblings, Lil Elcheshen and Peter Prokop and also by son-in-law Morris Michalishyn. Mom was born November 25, 1919 in Grandview, MB to John and Annie Prokop. She married Frederick Herbert Smith in 1948 and lived in Winnipeg, most notably Transcona, her entire life. Although Mom has had many sorrows and hardships throughout her life, her one constant source of love and joy has always been her twin girls. In later years this love and joy was a gift to her grandchildren who all hold a special place in her heart. Her legacy to us, her family, is undoubtedly: "Forgive and ask for forgiveness and above all be truthful in everything that you do." Funeral service will be held at 2:00 p.m., Wednesday, October 15, Glen Lawn Funeral Home, 455 Lagimodiere Blvd. (South of the Royal Canadian Mint).
