NORMAN CLARKE
NORMAN GEORGE CLARKE On October 25, 2004 Norm passed away after a brave battle with Alzheimer's. Norm is survived by his beloved wife Florence (Dolly) who was his steadfast caregiver over the past years during his illness. He also leaves to cherish his memory his children, Heather (Tom Frain) and Gregory; special granddaughter Julia Frain; sister Elsie Pennie; brother Jim Clarke; special friend Sean Ross; brother-in-law Howard Smith (Evelyn); and many nieces and nephews. He was predeceased by his parents, James and Elizabeth Clarke. Norm was born
on November 25, 1928 and raised in Brandon, MB. Norm was a splendid dancer and met Dolly Smith at Clear Lake at Danceland. They married in 1956. In 1963, with their two children, they moved to Winnipeg. Norm was involved in the automotive industry for most of his career where he made many long term friends. Fraternally, Norm was initiated in the Red River Lodge in 1965. He was a past active member of the Valley of Winnipeg A & ASR Lodge, attaining the highest order of the 33rd degree in Scottish Rite. He was involved in the Khartum Temple Pipes and Drums and the Khartum Arabian Horse Guard with his beloved horse Surtaff. More recently, Norman was a Mason with the combined Lodges of Red River and Charleswood. Norm was invited to be a member of the Royal Order of Scotland in April 1998 and was a member of the Cameron Highlanders Pipe Band for many years. These organizations provided many deep lasting friendships and memorable fun times. Norm loved his family deeply and was a wonderful father. He was very involved with his children in an era when most fathers were not. He could often be found on the skating rink or toboggan hill, camping with Boy Scouts, teaching his son to drum and ride the horse or even chasing fire trucks with Heather when she was a toddler. He was proud of his children's accomplishments and was always there to encourage them with support in their education and career endeavours. Upon retirement, Norm and Dolly walked many miles a day and took up golf while enjoying their extended summers at the cottage in Clear Lake. Norm also enjoyed travelling the world with the Massed Pipe Band to the Silver Broom and the Rose Bowl Parades. The winter months found Norm and his wife spending time travelling to Maui, Hawaii and Coolangatta, Australia. His quick wit and charm were enjoyed by all. We will miss him.

SHAUN DENNEHY
SHAUN PATRICK DENNEHY July 18, 1947 - October 21, 2004 Born in Winnipeg to Dodie and Gerry Dennehy (deceased), the eldest of six children. Shaun's wife Susan; sons, Quinn and Keenan; his sister D'Arcy; his brothers, Kerry, Timothy, Regan and Clancy; his extended family and friends will miss him dearly. Shaun was a passionate person. Passionate about family, friends, the north where he lived and worked most of his life, surveying which was more of a vocation than a job, his annual chicken and duck hunt in Manitoba with his longtime friends, beautiful Victoria Beach where he spent summers as a boy, old suburbans, the game of scrabble and golf. Mike Weir never had a more loyal fan. Shaun didn't let his illness stop him from pursuing his passions. He hunted past the point anyone thought possible, he spent his last summer at Victoria Beach surveying, and in hospital he continued to watch golf on TV, and play scrabble with his mother. To the end he maintained his sense of humour, his most endearing quality. A celebration of his life will be held in Winnipeg in July 2005. In lieu of flowers donations may be made to The Kelty Patrick Dennehy Foundation, PO Box 35, Whistler, BC V0N 1B8.

YVES AND DOREEN JOUBERT
DR YVES JOEL JOSEPH JOUBERT DR. DOREEN OLIVE JOUBERT It is with profound sadness that the family of Dr Yves Noel Joseph Joubert and Dr Doreen Olive Joubert announce their tragic passing on September 1, 2004 at their home in Brandon. Yves Noel Joseph Joubert (Noel) was born
in St. Pierre, MB on December 22, 1925. Noel spent his early school years in St. Pierre. In 1939, he attended the St. Boniface College in Winnipeg, and in 1947 graduated with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Latin Philosophy. In 1948, he was accepted at Laval University in Quebec, however, returned home after three months as he missed his family. Upon returning, he taught school in a small country school. In 1950, after encouragement from a former professor, he returned to the University of Manitoba. In 1951, Noel was accepted into medicine and graduated in 1956. For the next year and a half, Noel practiced medicine in Winnipeg and this is where he met Doreen. Doreen was born
in Winnipeg on March 24, 1929. She attended Principal Sparling School and later Daniel McIntyre Collegiate and was on the Honour Roll at both schools. In grade eleven she won a scholarship and entered pre-med at the University of Manitoba. In 1953, at 24 years old, Doreen graduated as the youngest doctor in her class of mostly returning the Second World War vets. After graduation, Doreen became an assistant to Dr. Ben Schomperlin, a chest specialist at the Manitoba Clinic. It was on the chest ward at the Winnipeg General Hospital that Doreen and Noel met. They were married on June 22, 1957. After their marriage, they moved to Dunrea, and in late 1957 moved to Brandon where they took over the practice of Dr. Baker. In 1958, Doreen was the first woman doctor to be admitted to the Brandon General Hospital staff. As Doreen was the only female physician in Brandon her obstetrical practice grew rapidly. Although Doreen and Noel were devoted to medicine and their patients, they were equally devoted to their children - Richard, Michelle and Paul. When Noel and Doreen started a family, it became clear that they needed help. In 1959, they were joined by their devoted nanny and lifelong companion Ada Cameron. Professionally, they enjoyed an expanding practice. Dr. Rose came from England and joined them in 1960, followed by Dr. McQueen in 1963, and a surgeon in 1964. The group founded the Western Medical Clinic in 1964. Shortly after in 1965, Dr. Andrews joined the Clinic. Noel was a visionary and it was his vision to build a downtown medical clinic and adjacent pharmacy. The doctors, in association with three pharmacists, purchased land to build a clinic in 1966 and the building was ready for occupancy in the spring of 1967. In 1968, Dr. Dalling, an orthopaedic surgeon, joined the group. Noel was proud of the clinic and it held prominent part in the lives of Noel and Doreen. His direct, out-spoken and honest approach to life with Doreen's gentle wisdom were great assets to the group and played a major role in the loyalty of all staff, from business manager, to nurses, lab technicians and receptionists. In 1980, Doreen left private practice and to become Clinical Director of the Assiniboine Centre. She was instrumental in implementing a palliative care program at the Centre as well as a day hospital for handicapped and disabled persons, and a diabetes. education program. Noel and Doreen were members of the Manitoba Chapter of the College of Family Physicians, and Noel was recognized by the College of Family Physicians of Canada and became a Fellow of the College in 1996. Noel was an active member of the medical staff at the Brandon General Hospital from 1957 to 1987, and Doreen from 1957 to 1991 and both belonged to many committees at the hospital. Doreen was also active in the community and was a lifetime member of the Canadian Federation of University Women. She served tirelessly on many boards throughout her years in Brandon. Noel and Doreen enjoyed an active family life and many activities centred around their family. In the summer they spent weekends and vacations at their cottage at Pelican Lake. Since retirement, they have resided at Pelican Lake from April until Thanksgiving each year. Noel and Doreen travelled extensively and enjoyed many vacations with their immediate and extended family. They vacationed yearly in Hawaii. In their younger years they were avid cross-country skiers and more recently enjoyed walking. Noel's love of animals, especially dogs is well known by all who knew him. Noel devoted his life to his "many projects" at Pelican Lake and as of lately recruited his grandson as his willing apprentice in these endeavours. Doreen played piano daily and found much contentment in music. She shared this gift of music with her grandchildren. Doreen played bridge twice a week, and both Noel and Doreen enjoyed their gambling junkets. They were positive people who brought much joy and understanding to those around them - especially their grandchildren. Noel and Doreen will be lovingly remembered by their son Richard (Cindy) of Campbell River, BC; and daughter Michelle (Dean) and their grandchildren - Peter, Kira and Zoe of Winnipeg. They are also survived by their son Paul of Brandon. Left to mourn are Noel's brothers Victor and Luc, and sister Claire (Edouard) - of Winnipeg. As well as Doreen's brother Jim (Tina) of Winnipeg, and sister Gayle (George) of Mississauga, ON, and many nieces, nephews, cousins, friends, and former colleagues. They are predeceased by Doreen's parents William and Lena, and Noel's parents Ambroise and Rose. As well as by Noel's sister Gabrielle and sister-in-law Aline, and their lifelong friend Ada. "Do not mourn us when we are gone for we have had a good life - rather celebrate our lives" (Noel). A celebration of Noel and Doreen's lives was held on September 14, 2004 at Central United Church in Brandon. Reverend Harold Nightingale and Father Leo Fernandes officiated. Internment followed at Brandon Cemetery. Donations in memory of Dr Noel and Dr Doreen may be made to the Canadian Mental Health Association, 23-12th Street, Brandon, Manitoba, R7A 4L6 Our family would like to thank all the family and friends who have supported us through this very difficult time. God Bless. Messages of condolence may be placed at www.brockiedonovan.com. Arrangements were in care of Brockie Donovan, Brandon.

Seven weeks earlier, Stanley laid to rest, Joyce, his beloved wife and best friend of 55 years. His gentleness, compassion, wisdom, respect, and infinite capacity for love are reflected in his eulogy to her: "I remember, My Love, when our day was new; I remember too, the brilliance of the sun. Then again, I remember when it glistened silver gray when touching your hair, and all the years between, with their floating memories of our life. They are a part of me as is a heartbeat. I see you in the morning, at evening's close and dream a lost dream of you, My Love. I loved you our whole life through and I shall love you into my last breath. Farewell Sweetheart." This was a true love story. The radiance, energy, love and beauty Stanley and Joyce brought to this world leave us with a legacy for which we will feel eternally privileged and grateful. Stanley leaves behind his loving daughter, Barbara and son-in-law Garry Hawryluk; loving daughter Deborah; precious grandchildren, Jaimie (Warren), Graham, Kelsey, and Christopher, as well as sister Alice Knox and brother Ted Joyce. The family would like to express heartfelt appreciation to extended family members, the condo family, and good friends who have offered support and compassion throughout the difficult time of Stanley's final weeks. We wish to thank in particular Dr. Harris, CancerCare, 3 West and Emergency at the Grace Hospital, as well as ICU, Dialysis and A4 at the Health Sciences Centre. While the staff caring for Stanley are too numerous to mention, special appreciation is sent to Catarina for helping all of us in his final hours.
