She will also be missed by many friends and neighbours. After the early death of her mother, Ethel grew up with her grandparents in the Finnish communities of New Finland, Saskatchewan and Elma, Manitoba until moving back to Winnipeg.

In 1950, she married the love of her life, George, with whom she shared 48 wonderful years. Together they provided a great home for their son Bob, of whom they were always so proud. Ethel placed great importance on family and friends. She had a tremendous number of friends of a variety of ages and backgrounds, a testament to the type of person she was. Children were especially important to her and the feeling was mutual. Her generosity, her ability to remain positive, and her persistence in the face of challenges (SISU), have served as a role model and inspiration to many. Ethel's family extends appreciation to all of the caring neighbours and friends who provided companionship and support over the past several years, including all those rides to the Centre for mall therapy. We are also grateful to Dr. Maila Gabriel, Tracy Mills and Home Care colleagues, and staff of the Family Medicine ward at St. Boniface Hospital for their compassionate care.

Should friends so desire, please send donations to the charity of their choice. Lord, when thou seest that my work is done, Let me not linger on with failing powers, As down the weary hours; A workless worker in a world of work; But, with a word, just bid me home, And I will come right gladly, Yes, right gladly will I come.

Winnie and Dave were blessed with a daughter, Brenda. Winnie then found her calling as a home care attendant for Manitoba Home Care Services where she worked for thirty years. She also cherished her role of "Mom" to the many neighbourhood children, families and university students who called 751 Fleet Ave. their "home". Winnie's "United Nations of Fleet Avenue" produced many successful university graduates. 1985 was a year of mixed blessings for Winnie. She gained a son-in-law (Ian Morrison) in September and was widowed when she lost Dave in October. Winnie finally became a Gramma to Rhianon in 1999, which gave her good cause for her annual trips to Vancouver Island.

Her diagnosis, admission to Cowichan Hospital, and treatment in the Cancer Clinic was swift, professional, and life saving!

HARRY MARDON
HARRY MARDON Veteran newsman Harry Mardon has died after a short illness. A two-fingered typist using his trusty manual Royal typewriter, Harry skewered politicians and raged against injustice, the smoke around his desk thick with indignation. Born in 1926 in Cambridge, England he was educated at College St. Augustin, Belgium and Gordonstoun School in Scotland. Much of his wide-ranging learning, though, came from his Scottish home, Ardross Castle, where -- in front of the huge open fireplace -- his professor father would read Thucydides and other weighty tomes to Harry and his siblings. With great pride, Harry served in Britain's famed Seaforth Highlanders from April 1944 to April 1949, rising from private to captain. He served in India, Java, Singapore and Malaya, which was in the throes of a vicious Communist insurgency. His first duty in Malaya was that of military aide-de-camp to the High Commissioner of Malaya. Armed to the teeth, he accompanied the Commissioner on the latter's back-country tours as bodyguard. To his disappointment, however, he found that the other part of the job was dancing with the ugliest girls at diplomatic receptions. Diplomacy's loss was the military's gain: he talked his way into second-in-command of the newly-formed No. 6 Group, Ferret Force. Ferret Force specialized in long-range patrols, searching out and eliminating Communist base camps deep in the jungle. He was Mentioned in Despatches for gallantry in one such action. After leaving the Army, Harry -- still in his kilt -- hitch-hiked across Canada with an Army friend. For employment he'd take anything. He helped dig the Toronto subway and, in Alberta, worked as a cowboy, where he learned to roll cigarettes one-handed in the saddle while he herded the cattle. In 1950 he landed a job with British United Press, working at various bureaux across the country as national news editor, and as bureau editor in Toronto. From there he went to the Winnipeg Tribune. At the Trib, he held various positions: city editor, editorial page editor, and business editor. His signed opinion pieces dealt with all the important issues of the day and were received with mingled controversy and acclaim. The paper was his life. After the Tribune's demise, he joined the Manitoba government as director of the Energy Information branch, and then went on to the Investor's Group as Manager of Corporate Communication. He had a long association with the Manitoba Chamber of Commerce and was presented with their Lifetime Achievement Award. Latterly, Harry has been writing for the Manitoba Focus -- a publication of the Manitoba Chamber of Commerce -- as well as his columns "Eye on the Dome" for weekly community newspapers, and "The Passing Parade" for Prime Time News. In 1994 he was appointed by the Premier of Manitoba to The Order of the Buffalo Hunt for services to journalism and Manitoba. He has received many other awards and distinctions. Harry is survived by his wife Vera; sons, Laurence and Christopher and daughter Caroline; as well as daughter-in-law Juno who, with Christopher presented Harry with the apple of his eye -- a grandson named Harrison Liu Mardon -- and thoughtful son-in-law Dr. Jim McNamara. Also brothers, Roland (Ethnea) and Dick (Mary-Therese) of Scotland, Francis of New Zealand, Austin (Alice) of California and Ernest (May) of Alberta and sister Annette of England. On Sunday between 2:00 and 4:00 p.m. friends will gather at the Winnipeg Press Club in the Ramada-Marlborough Hotel, 331 Smith Street. There will be a private family service at a later date. Harry's ashes will be interred in the family cemetery in Scotland. If desired, donations to the Cancer Society would be appreciated. Harry has never stopped writing since retirement, even under the duress of his recent illness. But now his typewriter is silent. - 30 -
HARRY MARDON
HARRY MARDON Through an omission, the obituary on Harry Mardon (October 16, 2004) inadvertently neglected to include Harry's long standing relationship with the Queen's Own Cameron Highlanders of Canada. We regret this, and apologize to every last Cameron in the Regiment.
Harry would be devastated. - Harry's family
