Alma Kehler Doreen
May 24, 1943 - April 4, 2006 After a courageous struggle with cancer, Mom left us at the Seven Oaks Hospital to be with our Lord God Almighty where she will forever be loved and cared for by His gracious mercy. Mom was predeceased by her son Jeffrey Weyne, father Frederick Monkman Sr, grandparents Margaret and Isador Loyer, siblings Gladys, Lorna, Hilda and Gary. She leaves to mourn her passing her children Sherry Lyn (Michael), Rudolph Irwin (Marlene) and Fern Leanne (Charles Sr.); mother Mary; grandchildren Dana, Clifford, Brent, Jeffrey, Jennifer, Justin, Jasmine, Charles and Niklas; great-grandchild Jaylene; brothers Lesley (Audrey), Howard (Kathleen), Lester (Pamela) and Freddy Jr. (Sharon); sisters Esther and Eileen (Steve); many aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews and cousins; close personal allies Ron Purdy, Fern Badioux and Herman Edwards; godchild Leah Pelletier Ross; Shelley Swan, Margaret Swan and Gladys Pelletier. Mom was born in Macrosse, Manitoba, and raised in the Metis community of Vogar, Manitoba by her parents. The stories are endless about Mom as she had such a large family tree. We know from some of these stories that she loved certain things in life, especially going to bingo where she had many chances to share fun and laughter with friends and family throughout her life. Mom worked hard all her life and one of her first jobs as a teenager was living away from home as a maid for a farming family located beside the community of Eriksdale, Manitoba. As she became more independent, she met and married Ernest Kehler from another farming community. They moved to Winnipeg and as working parents they raised their four children. The family would like to give a heartfelt thanks to all the doctors, nurses, and staff at the Seven Oaks General Hospital for their care for our Mom. Funeral service 2:00pm Friday, April 7 at Kateri Parish, 794 Ellice Avenue with Reverend Father Francois Paradis officiating. A memorial service and feast will be held at the Vogar Community Centre on Saturday, April 8 at 2:00pm. All are welcome.

Jeannette Roberge
21 February 1932 – 7 September 2013
Born in The Pas, Manitoba, she resided there with her family and began piano lessons at the age of four. Her elementary school years were spent at Sacred Heart Catholic School directed by Sisters of the Presentation of Mary. During these years she pursued activities with Brownies and Girl Guides and enjoyed many outings to Clear Water Lake, all the while perfecting her remarkable piano skills at such a young age, winning all the categories she entered in the annual Music Festivals. She loved to tag along with her cousin Rita Rainville and many friends. Along with high school years at Margaret Barbour Collegiate she enhanced her musical repertoire to include playing at dances and leading the Cathedral junior choir. In 1955 she married Colin Roberge of Bowsman, Manitoba and took up the challenges of wife, mother, and homemaker at their family farm. Over the years she enhanced the farm’s gardens and shared her musical talents with her children, the local schools and across the Swan River Valley near and far. Her dedication to St. Columba’s Parish and Missions meant providing organ and choir services for nearly 60 years and the number of weddings, talent nights, and music festival entrants all in need of accompaniment are too numerous to recount. She touched the lives of thousands with her refined talents and is remembered for making time for everyone on top of a busy schedule as wife and mother.
She was predeceased by her parents Albert and Melina La Fontaine, brothers Marcel, Ernest, Victor, and Arthur; sister Germaine, and by her husband Colin of 55 years to whom she committed a special bedside devotion over his remaining years as a resident of the Personal Care Home. She is survived by her eldest sister Olive Wadelius of The Pas; children Robin (Ronalie), Renée (Peter), Marcel (Les), Arthur (Craig) and by grandchildren Tanis, Aaron, Alina and Tessa, then great-grandchildren Kayle, Aiden, Draven, and Rhiannon. The staggering list of nieces, nephews and cousins will all hold special memories in their hearts that Jeannette spent time with them over the last seven months as she was able to travel and relish in the company of each treasured family member and friend.
Mass of Christian Burial to be concelebrated at St. Columba’s Roman Catholic Church upon Friday 13th September 2013 at 2 P.M. with the Reverend Fathers John McKenzie and Roy Vazhaplankudiyil officiating, and Organist Tanis Asselsteine of The Pas heading the musical liturgy in Jeannette’s honour.
