Our beloved Mother and BaBa passed on Sunday.
Frances was predeceased by husband, Stanley, and eldest son, Ernest (Ethel). Left to mourn are her sons Arnold (Darlene) and Ronald (Shauna) and daughter Irene Snippe, as well as 8 grandchildren and 6 great-grandchildren.
Mom was born in Polson, Mb. and grew up on the farm with her 4 brothers and 4 sisters. Mom worked hard throughout her life. She was a wonderful cook and kept a spotless home. Mom was a true pioneer. She shopped and cooked organic long before it was trendy. Mom worked outside the home before Working-Moms became the norm. For over thirty years, Mom & Dad operated Miami Beach, Woodlands, Mb. After retiring, Mom travelled, enjoying her many camping trips, bus trips, and cruises with Irene and her beloved grandson, Trevor.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Frances’ memory to Riverview Health Centre Foundation, One Morley Ave.,Winnipeg, Mb. R3L9Z9.
As per Mom’s wishes cremation and a private memorial service celebrating her life has already taken place.
