ALICE NORAH MITCHELL (nee BROUSSEAU) 1917 - 2004 Peacefully on Thursday, October 14, 2004, Alice Mitchell passed away. She was predeceased by her husband Jack, her mother Anna, father Eli, and two brothers Norman and Fred. Alice was born
in Somerset, Manitoba and spent her early years in Melville, Saskatchewan. She was the oldest of three girls in a family of five children born
to Anna (nee Bergeron) and Eli Brousseau. The family moved to Winnipeg when Alice was a young teenager and where she completed her high school education at Notre Dame de Lourdes Convent School. In 1939, she met and married John ( Jack) Mitchell, a City of Winnipeg fireman. In 1941 her only son John Junior was born, and in 1943 John Sr. left his firefighting duties in Winnipeg and joined the RCNVR for the duration of the Second World War. Upon his return, and to his peacetime occupation, the family set up a home, but after a couple of years decided to move to Montreal, Quebec. After a couple of years in Montreal, they returned to Winnipeg and entered into a business with Alice's younger brother Norman. There followed a further joint venture into the nursing home business. After they retired, Alice and Jack travelled and bought a retirement home in Mesa, Arizona with Alice's brother Fred and his wife Blanche, where they "flocked" with the other snowbirds every winter. They also decided on condominium living, buying two. They enjoyed very much the convivial condominium lifestyle with their many friends and acquaintances. Alice will be sadly missed by her son Jay (Carole), her sisters, Elizabeth Teskey and Blanche Hilbig, and by her many nieces and nephews. The family would like to thank Dr. Burke and the staff at The Tuxedo Villa Nursing Home, especially the nursing staff and other caregivers of nursing station 1 for their kindness and care.

CYNTHIA ANN BERGSTRESSER It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Cynthia Ann Bergstresser. She passed away peacefully with her loving family at her side on October 16, 2004. Cynthia was born
on January 13, 1936 in King's Lynn, Norfolk England, the only child to John and Celia Gray. She attended the Catholic Girl's School in King's Lynn where she excelled in swimming and won many of the school's swimming awards. In 1956 Cynthia came to Canada on a one year work visa and lived with her longtime pen pal. After accepting Jesus Christ as her Saviour she decided to stay in Canada, and she then attended Prairie Bible Institute in Three Hills, AB to further her understanding of the Bible. On October 7, 1960 she married Eddie, to whom she has been married for 44 years.

Cynthia spent her life serving. She served her family, friends, and her Saviour with a passion that was a tremendous example to all who knew her. She served on many church boards, co-ordinated several different cancer care groups, and community and school action committees. Her greatest legacy comes in the steadfastness of her prayer life and the people she touched who were hurting and in need of a faithful friend and prayer warrior. The steady line of visitors to her hospital room was proof of the great impact she has made upon the people in her life. Her love and genuine care for others was a constant testimony of her love for her Lord. We would like to thank the staff of Morris General Hospital for their loving care of Cynthia. Thank you to Dr. A. Loewen and the wonderful nurses and aides who attended her with such love and compassion.
