Mom was born in Edwin, MB on December 7, 1914 to Frederick and Georgina Harness. After attending school in Portage la Prairie, she moved to Winnipeg. Mom and Dad met in Winnipeg and they were married in 1936. Mom was a very caring and kind person who always could find the best in everyone. Over the years, Mom was called on to look after members of the family. The door was always open to lend a hand to someone. Her family was most important to her. We would like to express our sincere appreciation to members of Fred Douglas Lodge and in particular, all the staff on Willow Unit who made Moms stay so very comfortable over the last 10 years. Service will be held on Monday, December 15 at 12:30 p.m. at Chapel Lawn Funeral Home, 4000 Portage Ave. Pallbearers will be Robert Sweetland, Raymond Sweetland, Sandy Will, Ronald Swaffer, Gordon Wanke and Peter Unger.
