MABEL CAROLINE LOUISE (MICKEY) KENNEDY We announce with heavy hearts but gentle relief, at the Winnipeg Convalescent Home, on Monday, September 13, 2004, the passing of Mickey Kennedy of Winnipeg in her 82nd year. Widow of Harold Vincent Kennedy (Ken or Haddie) predeceased by parents, Hubert Bruce and Mabel Louise Gingell; and sisters, Faye Gertrude and Shirley Viola Louise; survived by brother Franklin Richard Ernest Bruce. Mickey was the dear mother of Sandra Lee and her husband Randy Evans of Quesnel, BC, Vincent Wayne and his wife Wendy of Brockville, ON, Bruce Mitchell and his wife Glenda of Killam, AB, Shawn Michael and his wife Rosemarie of Ottawa, ON, Gerald Rory and his wife Shelley of Edmonton, AB, Kerry Jo-Anne of Winnipeg, MB, Melanie Louise and her husband Matt Moreland of Hamilton, ON and Kevin John and his wife Charlynn of Quesnel. There was also another son Shannon, who died in infancy in 1949. Mickey Kennedy also leaves 14 grandchildren and four great-grandchildren. Mickey spent most of her life in Winnipeg, but also spent adult years in Toronto and Hamilton. Besides being a loved mother, she revelled in music and dance and enjoyed a good laugh, she was a tireless worked who turned her hand to a multitude of tasks, and a friend to anyone who asked for her help. She spent her last years in the Winnipeg Convalescent Home, where she was exceptionally well cared for on the second floor by a great staff. Expressions of sympathy should be made as a donation to a favourite charity and would be appreciated by the family. A memorial service celebrating Mickeys life will be held later and advised to all who may be interested in attending.
