Donna will be remembered as a very special person. She was a wonderful wife, mom, mother-in-law and relative. She had a generous personality, always willing to do anything for anyone. She had a way of touching every person she came into contact with. The family so wanted her to be there to share their future but, when it was clear that this was not to be, they were grateful to have time to thank her for all the things she had done for them and to tell her how much she meant to them. Donna devoted her strong character and determination throughout her entire life.

SYLVIA SPROTT Sylvia Sprott passed away peacefully at Central Park Lodge on January 18, 1999 at the age of 77 years. Sylvia Kathleen Camp was born in Deloraine on December 9, 1921, the youngest of five born to Margaret and Philip Camp. As her father was a railroad man, the Camps moved frequently and Sylvia attended many schools. She graduated from Grade XII at Boissevain and was then employed by the local dentist and at MTS. In 1943 Sylvia met the man who was to become her life, Alfred Sprott. Mom and Dad had a whirlwind romance - 6 weeks she would often tell us. Their chance meeting on a train led to a very solid marriage. They lived in St. Thomas during the war years and, after Alfred's discharge, lived on the farm at Croll. In 1951 they moved to their new home on NE 11-5-20. It was here their 4 children were raised. Mom and Dad farmed there until Dad's death in 1977. During this time she sat on several committees and boards, the most rewarding for her being the rink committee and school board. In 1983 she moved to Boissevain and for several years was employed by MTS. Mom loved to sew and knit and was always doing things for her family "just because". Her family was everything to her. As the family expanded to include sons and daughter-in-law, and ultimately 13 grandchildren, each was welcomed unconditionally and with love. It was often noted in her journal after a family gathering "this was a good day." In 1991, Mom retired from the MTS and was looking forward to devoting more time to researching the family tree. Unfortunately this was not to be as in 1994 she was diagnosed with a brain tumor. Routine tasks that were once so easy became so difficult. She moved to Westview Lodge in 1994 and Central Park Lodge in 1998. Mom was predeceased by her husband Alfred, their son Owen, brothers Leonard and Phil and sisters Grace and Marj. She is survived by daughters Margaret (Brian) Hammond and Mary (Ronald) Kalberg, son Tom (Janice) and daughter-in-law Norma. She will be missed by her 13 grandchildren: Lori, Cathy and Susan Sprott, Brad, Bob and Andy Hammond, Kathleen, Sharon and Elaine Kalberg and Lee, Sean, Ian and Kerri Sprott, and 3 great grandchildren. She is also survived by 4 sisters-in-law and numerous nieces and nephews, all of whom had a special place in her heart. A service celebrating her life was held on January 22, 1999 in the Minto United Church, Interment was in Minto Cemetery. Should friends so desire, donations may be made to Central Park Lodge or a charity of their choice.
