BRIGITTE LEGAL June 30, 1955 - May 12, 2005 It is with much regret that the family of Brigitte Legal announces her quiet passing as the result of ill health. Brigitte is survived by her parents Louis and Lorranine; her brothers Bruno (Dorryce) and Maurice (Louise); her sisters, Janine and Monique (Michel); her nieces Genevieve, Sylvie and Charity; and her nephews Benoit and Joel. For much of her life, Brigitte poured her heart and soul into her writing, a favoured outlet for psychological explorations. She also maintained a longstanding interest in music. That was her artistic side. She also had a caring side. Brigitte was known for being generous toward the disadvantaged, consistently giving to various charities, based upon her belief that those who have less have a right to be looked after. Brigitte was also humble and unassuming. She often put the needs of others, including those of her beloved cats, ahead of her own. She always wanted to give even when she had little for herself. A memorial service will be held on Tuesday, May 17 at 10:00 a.m. at the Glen Lawn Memorial Gardens Funeral Home, 455 Lagimodiere Blvd. Donations in her name can be made to the Salvation Army or to the Winnipeg Humane Society. C'est avec tristesse et regret que la famille de Brigitte Legal annonce qu'elle nous a quittes paisiblement en raison de mauvaise sante. Brigitte laisse dans le deuil ses parents Louis et Lorraine; ses freres Bruno (Dorryce) et Maurice (Louise); ses soeurs Janine et Monique (Michel); ses nieces Genevieve, Sylvie et Charity; et ses neveux Benoit et Joel. Pour la plus grande partie de sa vie, Brigitte s'est devouee a ses ecrits. Elle s'est egalement toujours interessee a la musique, une de ses principales sources de joie. C'etait la son cote artistique. Mais elle savait aussie faire preuve de compassion. Brigitte etait reconnue pour sa generosite envers les personnes defavorisees. Grace a sa conviction qu'on doit apporter un soin particulier a ceux qui en ont moins, elle donnait reguilerement a diverses oeuvres de bienfaisance. Brigitte etait egalement modeste et sans pretentions. Elle pensait souvent aux besoins des autres, y compris ceux de ses chats bien-aimes, avant meme ses propres besoins. Elle a toujours voulu donner meme lorsqu'il lui restait peu pour elle-meme. Un service commemoratif aura lieu le mardi 17 mai a compter de 10h a Glen Lawn Memorial Gardens Funeral Home, situe au 455, boul. Lagimodiere. Des dons en son non peuvent etre faits a L'Armee du Salut ou a la Winnipeg Humane Society. LECLAIRE BROTHERS in care of arrangements 775-2220.
