EMILY WINIFRED WAKEFIELD (nee HICKS) December 20, 1908 - April 9, 2004 It is with sorrow we announce the peaceful passing of Emily Wakefield, mother, grandmother and great-grandmother on April 9, 2004 at the Vista Park Lodge. She was predeceased by her husband Albert, they were married over 40 years and loving daughter and son-in-law Gerry and Wayne Hanna. Mom will be dearly missed by daughter Larry (Lorraine) and son-in-law Gordon Horton; grandchildren, Kim (Don), Darren (Karen), Randall (Colleen), Dale (Sherry), Lee, Jackie (Bill) along with great-grandchildren, Tahnee, Keenan, Quinn, Teagan, Riley, Easton, Keauna, Griffin, Emily, Jessica, Kris and nephews. Emily lived her whole life in Winnipeg, she spent and enjoyed many long hours with her painting, she loved her bowling and was an avid reader and watcher of television until her loss of sight. She always talked about the girls of the sewing circle and her lifelong friends Pat and Marge. Mom loved her walks and with a show of determination obtained her first drivers license at the age of 69. Her infectious smile, supportive and positive nature will be missed but not forgotten by her family. Mom loved to entertain her grandchildren and later the great-grandchildren and always showed an interest in their activities. Lorraine would like to thank the caring staff at Vista Park Lodge, with very special thanks to Claudette "Alice". A memorial service will take place on Thursday, April 15 at 2:00 p.m. in the Garry Memorial Funeral Home, 1291 McGillivray Blvd. If friends so desire, donations can be made to the C.N.I.B, 1080 Portage Ave., Winnipeg, MB R3G 3M3 or Alzheimer Society of Manitoba, 10-120 Donald St., Winnipeg, MB R3C 4G2.
