MARGARET RENA PITRE (nee GRIEVE) It is with deep sadness and incredible sorrow that we announce the peaceful passing of Margaret Rena Pitre at Sunnywood Manor Personal Care Home in Pine Falls, on March 21, 2004. Margaret will be lovingly remembered by her husband Marcel Pitre of Pine Falls, MB; her children, Rena Bergman of Riverton, MB, Kristen (Dennis) Waterman and their children, Dylan and Cody of Selkirk, MB, Leah (Denis) Boulet and their children, Annette and David of St-Georges, MB; her sister Joyce (Cliff) Edwards of Las Cruces, New Mexico; brother Larry (Margaret) Grieve of Kingsville, ON: many nieces, nephews, in-laws, and friends. She was predeceased by her mother and father; brothers, John, Mac, Gordon; and sisters, Audrey, Edith and Roberta. Marg was born on June 20, 1928 in Shoal Lake, MB, daughter of Stewart and Rena Grieve. Her schooling was taken in the Shoal Lake area, and upon finishing, Marg began working at the Royal Bank. After some years in her hometown, she accepted her first and only transfer, to Pine Falls in 1951. Marcel was asked to meet her at the bus and escort her to the Manitou Lodge where she was to stay. He did, and five years later he escorted her to the alter when they were married August 4, 1956. Marg enjoyed all sports but preferred curling and golf. She was active in the community, volunteering her time in many areas through the years. She loved dancing and was a star at practical jokes. During retirement Marg and Marcel loved to travel by car all over the country, visiting family members and seeing the sites. But most of all, Marg loved to be home with her family, taking special joy in her granddaughter and three grandsons whom she adored. Her kindness and love to her family and friends was unending. This delightful person was always ready to help. Where there could be indifference, Marg would reach out. It is with tremendous appreciation that we wish to express our heartfelt gratitude and thanks for the excellent care given to Mom by Dr. Van Rooyen and the staff of Sunnywood Manor Personal Care Home. We know Mom considered you a part of her extended family and that you will miss those "one liners" as much as we will. Funeral mass will be held on Thursday, March 25 at 2:00 p.m. in the Notre Dame de Laus Catholic Church in Powerview with Fr. James Grey officiating. Cremation to follow. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to a charity of your choice. Gilbart Funeral Home, Selkirk, in are of arrangements.
