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.

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.

He travelled 1500 miles every year to spend summers with two of his daughters and their families in Winnipeg until he was 76, when he moved here permanently.
