ELLEN (ELLA) DEEGAN (nee WEIR) 1910 - 2005 It is with deep sorrow that we announce the passing of our dearest mother and grannie, Ella Deegan, on August 8, 2005 at the Grace Hospital with her daughter at her side. Ella was born on August 16, 1910 in the County of Ayr, Scotland and came with her family to Canada as a young girl. In 1932, she married John Barrett Deegan and settled in Winnipeg. After being widowed in 1962, Ella worked at the General Hospital until she retired in 1975. Her memory will be cherished forever by her daughter Dianne (Murray), grandson Todd (Jen), granddaughter Trish (Adam) and great-grandson Piper. Also left to mourn her loss is her sister Betty Armstrong, sister-in-law Louise Weir, nieces, nephews and good friend Mary O'Conner. Mom was predeceased by her husband John; sisters, Meg, Grace and Jean; and brothers, Ivie and Jimmy. Mom was not easily given to expressing emotion but those who knew her understood that she had a kind heart, sincere caring and boundless love for her family. We have lost someone who listened to our troubles, shared our disappointments, encouraged our dreams, guided us by example and provided us with strength and support. Thank you, Mom, for the precious memories. You will live within our hearts forever. A memorial service will be held on Saturday, August 13 at 10:00 a.m. at Chapel Lawn Funeral Home, 4000 Portage Ave. Interment and reception will follow. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to a charity of your choice.
