MARY ELIZABETH (BESSIE) BROCK On Tuesday, June 22, 2004, Mary Elizabeth (Bessie) Brock passed away at the Tuxedo Villa Nursing Home, aged 93. She was the second oldest of the eight children born to Fred M. and Edith Gee. Bessie was predeceased by her husband, Dr. W. George Brock; two of her daughters, Susan Butler and Carolyn Brock; and her son-in-law Jim Wright. She is survived by her children, Janet Wright, Bill Brock (wife Cheryl) and Cathy Brock (husband John Dark) her grandchildren, Dr. Brock Wright, John Wright (wife Maureen), Kevin Wright, Kelly Pellegrini (husband Enrico), Billy Brock and Christopher Butler (wife Jodi) her great-grandchildren, Brock and Christena Wright and Grace Butler; her brother Bob; and her son-in-law Peter Butler. Bessie graduated as a nurse from the Winnipeg General Hospital in 1933. Several years later she went to work for Dr. George Brock and they were married in 1937. They raised their five children with great love. Bessie devoted her substantial energy to her family, friends and volunteer work. A memorial service will be held on Tuesday, June 29 at 11:00 a.m. at St. Georges Anglican Church at Grosvenor and Wilton. The family thanks the wonderful staff at the Tuxedo Villa for their compassion and excellent care of our mother. In lieu of flowers, we respectfully request that donations me made in Bessies memory to the Health Sciences Centre Foundation MS7, 829 Sherbrook St.
