It is with profound sadness that the family of Alice Watters announce her peaceful passing on October 24, 2024 (just days shy of her 99th birthday) at Pine Falls Hospital.

Mom was born in Selkirk, MB and grew up in the Gunton area. Later she moved to Winnipeg where she was a proud member of the St John’s Ambulance during the war years.

She dedicated her professional life to the Greater Winnipeg Gas Company where she worked until her retirement in 1988.

Following her retirement mom made the cottage at Hillside Beach her permanent home, where she created countless cherished memories. She became an active member with the Merry Makers and the EB Social Scene at Victoria Beach. Mom also enjoyed spending winters on the desert in Arizona where she made many lasting connections. Mom enjoyed visiting with people and cherished family gatherings & celebrations.

She will be deeply missed by husband Grant, daughters Pat (Danny), Cathy (Glenn), grandchildren Lisa, Cynthia (Coert), Jennifer (Dave), Keri (Al) & Trevor as well as by her six great- grandchildren and four great- great grandchildren.  Mom is also survived by numerous nieces & nephews.

Mom was predeceased by her first husband Les, son-in-law Ted, parents Jean & Jim Wallace, brothers John & Dave, sisters Elsie & Belle along with many friends.

In accordance with mom’s wishes cremation has taken place and a family internment will occur at a later date.

The family would like to thank the nurses and staff at the Pine Falls Hospital for their excellent care and compassion of our mom.

She will always be remembered for her warmth, kindness and the love she shared with all who knew her.

August 20, 1948 – October 19, 2024

Shirley was born and grew up in Stonewall Manitoba.  She moved many times but would always return to Stonewall knowing this was her home.

Shirley attended Bobby Bend School and ran track when she was younger, she enjoyed the outdoors, garage sales, markets and loved shopping. Her favourite stops were Winners, Canadian Tire and of course the Avon catalogues. Shirley loved animals and always had either a cat a dog or both.

She worked many years at Leo’s Sales and Service in the administration and accounting department and spent countless hours and weekends being part of the Ladies Auxiliary and supporting the Stonewall Legion and spending the remainder of her spare time helping out with the grandchildren and having fun with friends. 

Shirley was predeceased by her loving husband Roderick in 2006, her beautiful daughter Cheryl in 2017, as well as her Sister Jean that same year. Shirley’s Mom Cecile passed away last year in 2023. Her Mom was her sidekick and best friend throughout her life.

Shirley leaves us to remember her infectious laugh and her love of life. She is survived by her Son Ricky and wife Jody, Grandchildren Ethan, Taylor, Alexis, Ariana and Kennedy. She also leaves many great friends who were like family to her.

The family would like to thank all the doctors, homecare workers, neighbours and friends who helped Shirley in the last few years.

November 22, 1960 – October 11, 2024

With great sadness, the family, of Craig Ronnan Duncanson, announces the passing of their father, brother and friend at the Portage & District General Hospital in Portage la Prairie, MB on October 11, 2024, at the age of 63 years.

Craig was born in Wolfville, Nova Scotia on November 22, 1960.  During his early years, Craig enjoyed spending time at the cottage at Aylesford Lake in Nova Scotia, the parties in Hortonville surrounded by many friends, enjoying his beer and a puff.  Dad loved skidooing, playing softball, hockey and darts (shooting several 180s).  He was a HUGE Toronto Maple Leafs fan rarely missing a game on TV.  After moving to Manitoba he got to experience his first NHL game with Christopher; it wasn’t the Leafs but he had the time of his life.

Craig began his career in the paving business at an early age working for his father at Basil Duncanson Enterprises, honing his skills as a roller operator.  He was one of the best, travelling all over Canada (NS, NWT, ALTA), and ending his career in Portage la Prairie, Manitoba at Meseyton Construction, who were like family to him. 

Craig was a very kind-hearted man.  He had a great love of family and close friends and would do anything for them unconditionally. 

Left to cherish his memory; his son Christopher of Portage la Prairie, his daughter Laura of Wolfville, NS, his faithful and beloved dog Micah, sisters; Janie (Andre) Merks of Gaspereau, Brenda Duncanson of Port Williams, Jacqueline (John) Kelly, and brother Bradford Duncanson all of Toronto, several nieces and nephews, along with special friends Brad Petrie and Shawna Wells.

Craig will be peacefully at rest with his family members; his parents Basil and Beverly, brother Colin, grandparents; Edgar and Agnes Weir, Cyril and Edith Duncanson, who have all gone before him. 

Should friends so desire, donations can be made to the Heart & Stroke Foundation, Box 2414, Toronto, ON  M4P 1E4  or to the charity of choice.

In keeping with Craig’s wishes, cremation has taken place.  A Celebration of Life will be announced at a later date.
