He also taught Russian for many years at night school and was Superintendent of Sunday School at First Mennonite Church. Peter and Mary started their family in 1957 with the adoption of Karen Ann. With the advent of grandchildren, Sandra in 1979 and Daniel in 1982, their joy was complete. Peter lived a long and joyful life and he thanked the Lord everyday for this blessing.

ELIZABETH LAWLER
October 27, 2004
ELIZABETH MARGARET (BETTY) LAWLER It is with deep sadness that the family of Elizabeth Lawler announces her passing on October 24, 2004 at the Health Sciences Centre, Winnipeg. She celebrated her 80th birthday in March with many of her dear friends in attendance. She is survived by her husband Herbert and five children, John, David (June), Ann (Fred), Elizabeth (Rob), Jane (Jamie); and six grandchildren, John and Andrew Lawler, Fraser, Gordon and Robbie Bruce and Riley Black. Betty's love and study of painting began at the age of seven with lessons from Andre Bieler of Queen's University. Later in life, she returned to university and attained her B.F.A. at the School of Art, University of Manitoba. She was an accomplished artist and became a member of the Manitoba Society of Artists exhibiting her work in several shows. Her other love was reading and Betty poured through books of every kind at astonishing speed. Betty had many dear friends during the nine years she and Herb lived in London, ON, and enjoyed her volunteer years with the Maycourt Society. Among her many interests in Winnipeg, including her wonderfully full social life with her dear friends (her children always remarked that she did more in one week than they would do in a year), she was part of the Women's Committee of the Royal Winnipeg Ballet and the Manitoba Antiques Association. She was always thinking of others and has inspired many with her warmth and generosity. Some of her fondest memories were of her summers at Heming Lake in Northern Manitoba and at Lake of the Woods. Hosting cocktail parties, sewing, knitting, painting, baking - always a project on the go. She will be sadly missed by her family and friends for her cheery personality, wonderful sense of humour, great wit, strong spirit and her genuine interest in her friends. She adored her grandchildren and looked forward to their visits. A private gathering of close friends will be held in Winnipeg. In lieu of flowers, donations to the Heart and Stroke Association would be greatly appreciated. This poem by Connie Ford, political activist, was found in Betty's diary - Most of us die slowly bit by bit, In some the body first, In some the wit, May my tongue last me right beside the pit that singing still, I tumble into it.
