GERTRUDE ENCONTRE (nee CURE) It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Gertrude Encontre (nee Cure) on Wednesday, May 18, 2005 at the DeSalaberry District Health Centre, at the age of 68 years. She will be lovingly remembered by her husband Francois; children, Madeleine (Karl) Hoffmann, Anna (Marty) Andrea, Raymond; and grandchildren, Valerie and Melissa Hoffmann, Mitchel and Heather Andrea. She will also be deeply missed by her five brothers and five sisters. She was predeceased by her parents, George and Josephine Cure; and siblings, Robert Cure, Andre Cure, Henri Cure and Diane Bucek. Mom will always be remembered for her vibrant sense of humour. She was a loving person who always saw the good in any situation. She opened her home to every friend and family member and took great pleasure in preparing meals for her large extended family. Mom will also be remembered for the many homemade quilts she lovingly sewed over the years. Her quilts were made with much love and each one contained, we believe, a little piece of her heart. The funeral service will be held Monday, May 23 at 11:00 a.m. at the St. Malo Catholic Church. As expressions of sympathy, donations may be made to the Canadian Diabetes Association, 102 - 310 Broadway, Winnipeg, MB R3C 0S6 or the DeSalaberry District Health Centre Foundation, Box 320, St. Pierre Jolys, MB R0A 1V0. The family wishes to express thanks to Dr. Brennan and the wonderful staff at the DeSalaberry District Health Centre for their excellent care. Arrangements entrusted to: Birchwood Funeral Chapel Steinbach Winnipeg, MB 1-888-454-1030 or 1-204-346-1030
