MADELEINE FRANCOISE LENABAT On June 23, 2005, our dear sister, aunt, and friend Madeleine passed away at the age of 81 years. Madeleine was born in Winnipeg on August 25, 1923, where she resided all her life. Madeleine was predeceased by her parents, Eugene and Marie Reine LeNabat, and sister Marie. She is lovingly remembered by her sisters, Cecile (Adrien) Bernard of Nanaimo, and Helene (Marcien) Lemay; nieces, Gisele (Terry) Hampson; Paulette Bernard; nephews, Claude (Rhonda) Lemay; and Robert Lemay; grand niece, Michele (Bob) Lower; three grand nephews, Kevin (Stephanie) Hampson; David Hampson and Gabriel Delisle; great-grand niece Shayla and great-grand nephew Cole. Madeleine was a kind-hearted, loving and generous person, who cared for her aging parents and ill sister. She always gave generously to many charitable foundations. She was employed by the unemployment insurance commission for many years and retired in 1974. Madeleine then gave her time volunteering at St-Amant Centre, the St-Boniface Hospital and Dugald School Library. She loved babysitting her nieces and nephews, and then after retirement her great niece and nephews. Madeleine had a passion for reading, and loved getting together with her friends for cards and bingo. Madeleine looked forward to all our family get togethers and we all enjoyed her good humour and kindness. Over the years Madeleine spent many good times with her sister Helene and her family at Lac du Bonnet Lake. Madeleine had a heart of gold and will be greatly missed. We are deeply grateful to the staff of Park Manor Personal Care Home for their compassionate treatment and kindness toward Madeleine and the family throughout her time there. In lieu of flowers memorial donations may be made to CancerCare Manitoba, 675 McDermot Ave., Room 0N1160, Winnipeg, MB R3E 0V9 or to a charity of choice in Madeleine's name. A celebration of Madeleine's life will be held on Monday June 27 at 10:30 a.m. at Desjardins Funeral Chapel, 357 rue Des Meurons, with a gathering of family and friends to follow.
