August 21, 2004
IRMA (KIM) LEONA MAYNES (nee KOSS) With deep sorrow, we announce the peaceful passing of our beloved mother, aunt and grandmother following a brief struggle with cancer on Tuesday, August 17, 2004 at the age of 81 years. Irma is survived by her daughter Kathleen; her grandchildren, Tina, Cora-Les, James, Jenna-May, and Gina-Marie; one great-grandchild Isaac; one brother Harold Koss as well as several nieces and nephews. She was predeceased by her husband, Sam on July 10, 2004. She was also predeceased by her parents, Helena and Frederick; her brother William; and three sisters, Millie, Ida and Dorothy. Irma was born and raised in Winnipeg, MB. She married Samuel Maynes on February 27, 1945. They had a successful marriage which lasted 59 years, all but the last few months spent together in their own home. Friends and family were always important to her and she made every attempt to remain in contact with the various and dispersed members of her family. Irma worked for Robinson Little & Co. and Churchill High School. She retired from Churchill in 1981 when she and Sam moved to British Columbia. They lived in Surrey, BC for a number of years, returning to Winnipeg to spend more time with their grandchildren of whom they were both very proud. Irma attended Immanuel Lutheran Church all of her life, returning there when she and Sam returned to Winnipeg. Irma loved to swim and walk as remaining active was important to her. She took an interest in her flowers and plants, her reading, playing bridge and talking with friends. She also enjoyed the symphony, the arts in general, current affairs, politics, and baseball. She had and abiding love for her faith, which sustained her through life. She took great pride in her grandchildren and talked about them frequently. She was a very pleasant, friendly person who many people loved and admired. She will be sorely missed. "Death only comes to let us know we love more deeply than we show. But love in death should let us see what love in life should always be." The family would like to thank the staff and Dr. M. Garcea at Riverview Palliative Care for their care and compassion. A special thanks to Norma Macri, Joanne Muldew and Lydia Krueger for the extra time that they gave to Mom in her final days. Funeral service will be held on Saturday, August 21 at 2:00 p.m. in Green Acres Funeral Home, Hwy. No. 1 East at Navin Road. Interment to follow at Green Acres Cemetery.

LOUIS McLEAN
August 21, 2004
LOUIS RAYMOND McLEAN Raymond McLean of Corkstown Road, Ottawa, died on August 20, 2004, in his 89th year. He was born in Winnipeg on August 27, 1915, son of George McLean and Jane Ann McKinnon, both of Glengarry County, ON and of Winnipeg. He is survived by his loving wife of 55 years, Renee Marie (Lovatt), and by his sister Rita Nemish of Winnipeg. Raymond is remembered with love and pride by his daughters, Marianne, Janet and Monica, by their husbands, Philip Goldring, Richard South and Eugene Balangero; and by his grandsons, Dmitri, Hugh, Alexander and Colin Goldring and by Ann and Ian Blicq of Winnipeg. He was predeceased by his younger brother George and his granddaughter Catherine South. A Highland Canadian, he leaves cousins and friends from coast to coast. Above all, Raymond was a husband and father. He was also a family tradition-bearer, a philatelist, a traveller, a raconteur and an active member of Catholic parishes in four provinces. The boyish streak of mischief that never left him was disciplined by 47 years of service to Credit Foncier Franco-Canadien, beginning as an office assistant in Winnipeg 1933. He joined the RCAF in 1940 and was attached to the RAF in England and the Middle East as a radar mechanic until 1945. Returning to Credit Foncier, he was transferred to Montreal in 1958, becoming internal auditor and mortgage manager. He retired in 1980. Raymond and Renee lived briefly in Victoria, BC, then settled in Ottawa in 1982 to be near family. His death, following a tragic accident on August 5, curtailed a life of shining integrity, rich in learning and in love. He will be buried in Winnipeg. In memoriam donations to the charity of your choice would be appreciated. KELLY FUNERAL HOMES, OTTAWA 613-235-6712
