Remaining to honour her memory is her best friend and sister Millie West; her devoted and caring daughter Joan Sutherland (Ian); her grandchildren, Laurel Repski (Brian), Jami Wild (Malcolm), Erl MacKenzie (Tracy), Jodi Sutherland (Paul Crust), Leisa Russell (Clayton), Jennifer Thomson (Ian) and her great-grandchildren in whom she took great delight, Alanna and Garrett Repski; Kiersten, Kaitlin, Kevin and McKenna Wild; Ashleigh and Brendan Thomson. Also her brothers-in-law, Oscar and Bob (Verna) Otter and sister-in-law Connie Scarlet. She was predeceased by her beloved husband Ernie and her precious twin daughters, Pat and Judy, who both succumbed all too early from the ravages of Multiple Sclerosis, as well as sister Margaret McKay and brothers, Clarence, Roy and Leslie Scarlet. Doris, although born in Portage la Prairie, was raised in Amaranth, MB, daughter of the town blacksmith. The values that she learned growing up in a small community, honesty, loyalty, friendship, thrift and the rewards of hard work were the basic principles which guided her throughout her life. Doris and Ernie were married in the spring of 1936 in the middle of hard times of the Depression, a difficult time to begin raising a family, however with grit and determination they survived to share 51 eventful and fulfilling years culminating with Ernie's death in 1987. Doris believed that marriage was a lifelong commitment to support your husband along whatever path he chose and it was her duty to accompany him. When Ernie joined the RCAF in 1939 Doris was behind him 100% and so with young daughter Joan in tow followed him to various postings from Yarmouth to Yorkton where twins, Pat and Judy joined the family. At the close of the war Ernie resumed his craft as a carpenter and in his spare time together he and Doris built the family home at 19 Clonard Ave., St. Vital which became the gathering place for family and friends. Doris continued to live there until 2001 then moved to her final residence at Niakwa Towers. Throughout all those years Doris assumed the role of matriarch albeit with a velvet glove. Blessed with an abundance of good old common sense, she was thrifty but never cheap, outspoken but never domineering, unbending in her principles but resilient in facing day to day realities, practical but never unreasonable. She offered her family love and support and in turn was rewarded with love and devotion. Doris had enough "Irish" in her to enjoy a good argument but that same spirit which included generosity ensured that no one was ever turned away at the door for want of a meal or a place to sleep. Following the war, it was only natural for Doris and Ernie to resume friendships by joining the Royal Canadian Legion - St. Vital Branch No. 16. Doris was an active participant in the Ladies Auxiliary, a valued and integral component of any Branch. She undertook many positions within the Branch and Provincial Command ultimately rewarded with a Life Membership. With the cessation of her Auxiliary, she and several fellow comrades then joined the Fort Garry Branch No. 90, where she attended her last meeting this past October. She maintained her Legion membership as a way to remember past friends and to honour the memory of her lifelong partner Ernie where they had shared so many good times. Doris was self-reliant, kept abreast of current affairs, loved any sports but was devoted to baseball and her Blue Jays, bingo was a prized pastime. She often wished she had more formal education, she held no diplomas or degrees, no initials after her name except the ones that counted most, DORIS OTTER - MOM. Friends are invited to join family members at a gathering to honour her memory, Friday, February 7 at 3:00 p.m. at the Dakota Hotel, 1105 St. Mary's Rd. Flowers are declined with thanks, donations in her memory can be made to the Multiple Sclerosis Society, Manitoba Chapter or the Royal Canadian Legion Poppy Fund.

In the mid 1940s, Jeannette moved to Winnipeg, where she opened and managed her own beauty shop on the corner of Portage Avenue and Fort Street. She and Nicholas Partyka were married in 1947. In their early years together, the couple raised their children in Morse Place (Winnipeg). The family moved to East Kildonan in 1960 and relocated to Norwood (St. Boniface) in 1966. After the death of her husband in 1980, Jeannette settled in East Grand Forks, MN. She lived in Morris, MB for a couple of years and returned to Winnipeg in 1994. She remained in her home in St. Vital until her recent move into the Quest Inn assisted living residence in downtown Winnipeg. Jeannette was known for her energetic and colourful personality.

Dudley Paterson February 06, 2003 DUDLEY ARMAND PATERSON July 24, 1914 - February 4, 2003 A veteran of Winnipeg broadcasting passed away peacefully at the McCreary Hospital, February 4, 2003. Dudley was born in Fort Rouge. Upon leaving school and after stints at many jobs (oil-field worker, taxi-driver, railway man), he joined the Winnipeg Grenadiers during the Second World War. Upon discharge, he married Nellie Krupa. He found his calling in radio where he enjoyed a colourful and fulfilling career for more than 40 years. He began at the old CKY in Winnipeg and then moved as station manager to CJGX in Yorkton, SK. He then moved back to Winnipeg and station CJOB, which was to be his "broadcast home" for the next 44 years. During these years, Dudley's became a familiar and trusted voice, which brought Winnipeggers the news and views of the time. Highlights were travels on the first Winnipeg-to-Toronto Air Canada flight and to Cape Kennedy for a space launch and, of course, the 1950 flood. Listeners will remember his as one of the voices that kept the city in touch with up-to-date reports (many delivered from a boat on the swollen Red or Assiniboine). In later years, as news editor, he kept pace with the fast-changing world for his listeners. One of his colleagues has remarked, "Dudley was always happiest with a mike in one hand and a cup of tea in the other." His happiest times were the annual summer jaunts to his "Laclu" where he could indulge his favourite pastimes, fishing and photography. After retirement, he and Nellie moved to McCreary, MB to be closer to family. Dudley was predeceased by a brother George; parents, George and Anna; sister Doreen McDonald; brother William (BC); wife Nellie; and daughter Riva. He leaves to contemplate a life "without Dudley, grampa and great-grandpa" his daughter Heather; son-in-law Chuck (McCreary, MB); daughter Lola (Detroit); daughter Lindsey (Qualicum Beach, BC); son George (Vancouver); grandchildren, Tara, Patrick, Andrew, Robin, Jonathon, Lisa, Martin, Terry, Kristen, Dillon, Riley, and Cassandra; and great-grandkids, Meaghan, Nicholas, Evan, and Riley;...and his faithful listeners. In keeping with Dudley's independent spirit, cremation has taken place and there will be a private family memorial service for interment at a later date. "At early morn, when all was still God took his soul to rest In silent peace he passed away Into a better place." We will forever be in debt to the staff of both the McCreary Personal Care Home and Hospital for their devotion and care of our father and grandfather. Friends wishing to make a donation in Dudley's memory may do so to the McCreary/Alonsa Personal Care Home, McCreary, MB, R0J 1B0. Dobchuk Funeral Home, McCreary in care of arrangements.

LECLAIRE BROTHERS in care of arrangements, 775-2220 Ann Reimer February 06, 2003 ANN REIMER On Sunday, February 2, 2003 at the Steinbach Resthaven, Ann Reimer of Steinbach passed away at the age of 93. Ann was predeceased by her husband Peter A. Reimer on January 6, 1972. She will be sadly missed by daughter Dawn and husband Jim Eccles of Thunder Bay, ON; son Dwight and wife Jayda Reimer of Oxnard, CA; and daughter Sue Ann and husband Stan Doerksen of Brampton, ON. A very loving and precious Nana will be deeply missed by her grandchildren, Naomi Vondell, Barbara Eccles, Jennifer and husband Robin Merkley, Jannette and husband Andrew Netherton, Lisa Reimer, Larra and husband David Dunlop, Jay Doerksen, Eric Doerksen, Shawna Doerksen. Her young great-grandchildren, Isabelle Netherton and Jackson Dunlop, have met Ann, but not had the joy of knowing her. Ann enjoyed the company of babies and especially loved watching these two little ones during their visits. Ann was predeceased by her parents, Adolph and Amelia Mueller; six brothers; two sisters and one half-brother. She is survived by her brother Alvin, of Toronto, ON. Ann was born in Hochstadt, MB on November 30, 1909 and married Peter A. Reimer on April 25, 1931. They settled in the Steinbach area, farming on what is now the Steinbach Mennonite Museum property, and also lived in Carman, MB for a period of time. After retiring from the farm, they lived in Steinbach. Ann volunteered for many years with the church, providing support and provisions for young families, and also gave her time to the well-baby clinic held by the Health Unit. Ann worked with her sister Elizabeth at Modern Shoe Shop, then at Ray's Interiors. Several years following Peter's death, she sold her home in Steinbach and moved to Burlington, ON and then Brampton, ON to be closer to family. The grandchildren had the wonderful privilege of truly getting to know her and having her involved in their lives during this period. In 1988, recognizing her declining health, she returned to Steinbach and lived at the Resthaven until her death. The family is very grateful for the care throughout her stay at the Resthaven and wish to thank the dedicated staff for their gentleness and sensitivity in the days before her death. Ann will be so sadly missed by everyone who knew her. Her cheerful joy of life, wonderfully positive outlook, generosity, and love for her family, friends, neighbours and caregivers will never be forgotten. The funeral will be held at 1:00 p.m. Saturday, February 8 at the Evangelical Mennonite Church, 420 Main St., Steinbach. There will be a memorial time from 7:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. on Friday, February 7, at Loewen Funeral Home, Hwy 12 South, Steinbach.
