RUTH LILLIAN WERBIN August 29, 1929 - August 5, 2004 Peacefully, in the early morning hours of August 5, 2004, Ruth passed away at Riverview Health Centre. She fought a valiant and determined battle against cancer and retained her feisty sense of humour to the end. Ruth was predeceased by her beloved husband William in July 2002 whom she has missed terribly over the past two years. A joyous reunion is fully expected! She was also predeceased by her parents, Harry and Edith Boddis and her brother James Boddis. Ruth is survived by her two daughters, Carla Einarsson (Eric), Janice Campbell (Tom) and son Brent Baldwinson (Ev); her grandchildren, Sandra (Keith), Holly (Jack), Leah (Jared), Paul (Annie) and Jennifer. She felt blessed to get to know and love Graham, Evan and Rebecca, her three great-grandchildren who were all born in the last 18 months. She will be sadly missed by her brother Ken Boddis (Val) and several sisters-in-law, brothers-in-law, nieces and nephews. In spite of her illness and even on days when most people would be curled up on the couch, she remained determined to get out everyday without fail. Her energy and determination were amazing. We will all miss her baking (especially her famous butter tarts!), Sunday dinners and her wonderful sense of humour. Ruth fought the good fight and can now rest in peace. We love you and will miss you with all our hearts. The family wishes to extend sincere thanks and appreciation to the staff at Riverview Health Centre (3E Palliative Care) for the kindness and care provided over the past six weeks and especially over the past few days. Mom asked that special mention be made of Helen, Marlene and Doctors Garcia and Crawford. In accordance with her wishes, cremation has taken place and no service will be held. In lieu of flowers donations may be made to the CancerCare Manitoba, 675 McDermot Ave., Winnipeg, MB R2V OB3 or charity of your choice.

MAURICE BELLERIVE
July 23, 2004
MAURICE "MOE" BELLERIVE It is with overwhelming sorrow that we announce the loss of our husband, father, and grandfather Maurice on July 20, 2004. His wife Clotilde and granddaughter Jacqueline were at his side, at the St. Boniface Hospital at the time of his passing. His memory will be cherished by his wife Clotilde of 54 years; his children, Roger (Amy), Lorraine (Tony) Compayre, Diane (Clifford Paddock) and special "daughter" Irene (Dan) Davie. He will be greatly missed by his grandchildren, Leon (Angie and Alyssa), Jacqui, Julie, David and Mitchell; as well as step-grandchildren, Arlene Blais (Ashley and Marc) and Ronald (Helen) Medwedew. He is survived by one sister Anita Sorobey and several nieces and nephews. Maurice was born on August 18, 1924 in Ste. Elizabeth, MB and later moved to St. Boniface. As a young man, Moe served in the Royal Canadian Air Force. His need for adventure led him to Churchill, MB in 1949 to work for the Foundation Company. In 1950 he married Clotilde Cloutier and returned to Churchill where they spent the first 35 years of their marriage. During his years in Churchill, Moe was an active community member, involved in many organizations including the Royal Canadian Legion, Churchill Curling Club, Lions Club and serving several terms as a Town Councillor. In 1984 he retired from the Department of Transport and moved to Rocky Lake to build a log cabin and retirement home where there was plenty of open space, lots of fishing, and always someone in need of his advice. Moe, affectionately known as Moe-On-Call, Grandpa Gadget, The Old Timer and Mr. Fix-It, was a skilled tradesman who was known for his willingness and ability to help others at any time of day or night. He didn't believe there was anything that could not be fixed and rose to every challenge. His love of work was equalled by his love of play and his enjoyment of family, friends and neighbours. He enjoyed playing cards, watching sports, fishing, boating and golfing. He was genuinely interested in everyone and everything. He liked to keep up with current news, events and issues and loved to engage in debates on any topic from technology to politics. Moe loved life and didn't waste a moment of his near 80 years. He is deeply loved and will be sorely missed. The family would like to thank the medical staff, especially Dr. Andrew Dickieson, at the St. Boniface Hospital MICU for their compassionate care during Moe's illness. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to a charity of one's choice. Funeral liturgy will be celebrated on Saturday, July 24 at 10:30 a.m. at Mary Mother of the Church, 85 Kirkbridge Dr., with Fr. Carl Tarnopolski, V.G. officiating. Reception will follow. The Desjardins Funeral Chapel in care of arrangements, 233-4949 or toll free 1-888-233-4949.
DOROTHY BETT
July 23, 2004
DOROTHY STUART BETT Peacefully, on the evening of Monday, July 19, 2004, our beloved mother, grandmother and friend, Bett passed away at the age of 73 years. She will be lovingly remembered by her daughters and their families, Shona, Gary, Shane and Wes Treleaven; and Sandra, Ken, Claire, Milo and Ellen Friesen. Bett was predeceased by her best friend and husband Albert; and her infant grandson Neil. Bett was born in Aberdeen, Scotland in 1931 and was adopted and raised by her grandmother Isabella Robertson. Bett and Albert met and married in 1951 and became a family soon after with the births of their daughters, Shona and Sandra. In 1958, the family immigrated to Canada aboard the Queen Elizabeth II. She worked at the Chocolate Shop, The Pancake House at Polo Park for 17 years and Metro Drugs. Bett stopped working when Albert got sick and after his death, she found joy in spending time with her three young grandchildren. Claire, Milo and Ellen will cherish the memories of afternoons with Grandma. She loved family get-togethers and every gathering was cause for celebration. Bett loved to travel, whether it was enjoying boat cruises with Albert, camping with her girls, or taking weekend jaunts with their friends to country fairs. All who met her saw a woman who loved life, who enjoyed good food and friendship and music. Many will remember Bett as the first one up on the dance floor. She continued to dance and sing with the staff at West Park Manor, her home for the past seven years. A Celebration of Bett's Life will be held on Monday, August 9 at 5:00 p.m. at West Park Manor, 3199 Grant Ave. Her remains will be taken back to Scotland and laid to rest beside those of her husband, Albert. Shona and Sandra are grateful for the kindness, respect and compassion Bett received from her extended family at West Park. They would also like to acknowledge the support and friendship of Mom's friend Helma in Vancouver and of Di and Jimmy Stuart in Scotland. The cards and letters never stopped coming even when Mom was no longer able to appreciate them. Mom loved flowers - in her honour buy yourself a bouquet and enjoy them or if you wish, donations in Bett's memory may be made to the Alzheimer's Society of Manitoba Inc., Unit 10 - 120 Donald St., Winnipeg, MB R3C 4G2 or a charity of one's choice. For what is it to die but to stand naked in the wind and to melt into the sun? And when the earth shall claim your limbs, then shall you truly dance.
