SARA BROWN It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our dear mother, grandmother and great-grandmother, Sara Brown, on Sunday, January 30, 2005 at the Selkirk District General Hospital at the age of 86 years. Sara was predeceased by her husband Earl in 1995 and her parents, John and Katherine Bender. She will be sadly missed by her son Lorne (Debbie); daughter Dale Brown; grandchildren, Crystal (Glenn) Grove and Sharisse Brown; and her precious great-granddaughter, Trinity Grove. She also leaves her brothers, Robert (Mary) Bender and Gordon (Gladys) Bender; and sisters, Kay Zimmerman, Irene Dechert and Pearl Solberg. Mom loved her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren dearly. She will be remembered for all her great cooking and baking over the years and her love given to all. Sara was born in Flowing River, SK and spent her childhood years in Ernfold, SK. She later moved to Manitoba where she worked in the clothing industry as a seamstress supervisor. She then married her husband Earl on July 20, 1951 and resided in the west end of Winnipeg. In 1962 they moved to St. Andrews where she resided until moving to Betel Home.
