Raised in Glenboro MB, she was the third eldest in a family of seven children. She was predeceased by her husband Harvey; sisters Lola and Nita and brother Dolph. She trained as a Registered Nurse at the Brandon General Hospital, graduating in 1928, just prior to the depression. She did what was called “private duty nursing” in homes in southern Manitoba. This, through sheer necessity, involved delivering babies and giving care that she often remarked, was far beyond what she had been trained to do. She was employed in the Glenboro General Practitioner’s Office and in the small community hospital of Deloraine before striking out for “greener pastures” at the West Coast. As jobs were scarce, she took a hospital nursing position in the remote logging community of Port Alice on the northwest coast of Vancouver Island. At that time, this isolated village was only accessible by the small supply boats that plied the rough, and many times treacherous waters of the Pacific. One of her duties was to accompany patients being transferred to Vancouver via these same small crafts, the most famous of which was the Good Ship Maquinna. Despite the dangers of the open sea, she claimed the recess from the isolation, made these journeys ones she relished. She returned to Glenboro to care for an ailing mother and in 1935, destiny decreed that she spend the remainder of her life in Portage la Prairie. She met her husband Harvey Hunter Owens that summer at a dance in Gladstone which she attended with her lifelong nursing friend, Robena Campbell. Her life in Portage gave her the opportunity to raise a family and to touch the lives of many individuals in this community. Some are gone now, and some will be reading this notice and will know that they helped to make her life such a happy one. She will be remembered as “Gram”, the loving and the natural center of a large and extended family. Despite the many and varied needs of it’s members, she seemed always to have time to listen and nurture each member of this family individually. Her positive spirit, her laughter, her ability to continue to contribute to the well-being of others despite her age, will always be an inspiration to the family that adored her. She is survived by her sisters Vivian McLeod, Vesta Douglas and Lorene Magnus; daughters Sherrill Collett, Arlene (Gary) Lamont and Heather (Bob) Sellars and grandchildren and their families; Patti (Dennis) with children Darren and Owen Nodrick, Kelly (Lou) with children Keegan and Bret Collett; Carol Ann Collett (Mike); Robert Bradley; Jill Bradley; Danny (Kathy) Bradley; Alison (Dave) with children Foster and Monroe Laycraft; John Arbuthnott Jr.; Marney (Scott) with children Braedan, Cole and Adam Young; and Andrew Abuthnott (Amy). In keeping with Ila’s wishes, there will be no funeral service . The family gratefully declines flowers.
