Obituary of Lucille Cunningham (BUGERA)

LUCILLE CUNNINGHAM (BUGERA) On November 7, 2008 our dear mother and grandmother, Lucille Cunningham passed away peacefully at her residence in Winnipeg, Manitoba at the age of 64 years. Lucille will be lovingly remembered by her son Graham (Angie) of Hong Kong, grandchildren Quazell and Kai; son Neal (Taran) of Australia; mother Magdalen Bugera; brother Len (Antoinette); niece Krista Deighton; sister Judy (Allen) Hamm; nephews Russell (Sonja) and Jaret and extended family. She was predeceased by her father John and husband Rick MacPhail. Lucille's tenacity and organizational skills were exemplified in her various career choices such as medical records supervisor, administrative secretary and real estate agent. Her ability in guiding clients to find the right house to call a home was recognized when she was selected as one of the top 10 Royal LePage realtors in Calgary. Lucille's creative and culinary skills were highlighted in her role as mother and homemaker. Her eagerness to experiment with new recipes was invariably met with delight by her guests. Lucille enjoyed many other hobbies such as paper tole, embroidery, needlepoint, stained glass, sewing and making decorations. She derived pleasure in making and giving these gifts to family members at Christmas. In 1998 Lucille was diagnosed with cancer. After treatment she moved to Winnipeg. In spite of the side effects she travelled to Mexico, Taiwan and Hong Kong. Her declining health limited her activities. However, she continued to enjoy reading, playing cards, working on her computer and communicating weekly with her son Neal in Australia. A private family funeral service will be held on Friday, November 14 at 10:00 a.m. at Cropo Funeral Chapel, 1442 Main Street, Winnipeg. Viewing will be held prior to the service at 9:30 a.m. Interment will follow at Assumption Cemetery, 3990 Portage Avenue West, Winnipeg. An online book of condolences may be signed at www.cropo.com.
