ALICE GRACE McLEOD (nee COOK) March 31, 1942 - June 3, 2004 It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of our mother, grandmother, sister and aunt, Grace McLeod at the Deer Lodge Hospital in Winnipeg, Wednesday, June 3, 2004. Grace was born in Grand Rapids, Manitoba. Grace had six children she loved dearly and she lost her oldest son in a tragic accident in 1970. She moved to Winnipeg to raise her family and was involved in an accident in 1973 that left her with many medical problems. She fought a courageous battle with her many illnesses which forced her to move into the Deer Lodge Hospital where she made her home for the past two and a half years. Grace always greeted everyone with a big smile and was a quiet gentle soul who will be sadly missed by all who were fortunate enough to know her. She leaves to mourn: her children, (Jeff) Kate, Mark (Brenda), Laura, Chandler (Gail), Margaret (Marshal), and their father Kenneth McLeod Sr.; daughter-in-law Merle Cooke; and son-in-law Bliss LaVallee; her grandchildren, Vanessa, Jessica, Ashley, Angie, Anthony, Shanna, Shania, Hunter, Johnathan, Avery, Levon, Farron, Joseph, Cory, Dillon, Jodie, Mitchell, Jesse and Marcus; sisters, Marie (Oscar) Olson, Yvonne Cook, Virginia (Ralph) Arthurson, Marlyn Cook, Dorothy (Dick) Hutchinson, and Helen (Garth) Armstrong; and brothers, Solomon, Norman and John. Grace also leaves many cousins, nieces and nephews, great-nieces and nephews too numerous to mention. Grace was predeceased by her parents Dan and Angelique Cook; her son Kenneth Daniel (Donty) sister Audrey Sinclair; brothers, Walter, Danny and Russell; and her brother-in-law Hubert Sinclair. Wake services will be held in the Roman Catholic Hall Saturday, June 5 to Sunday June 6, 2004. Funeral service will be held on Monday June 7, 2004 at 2:00 p.m. at the St. Alexander Roman Catholic Church. Interment will follow at the Roman Catholic Cemetery.
