SANDRA WELLS
July 10, 2004
SANDRA ARLENE WELLS October 30, 1945 - July 6, 2004 Suddenly in the early morning hours of July 6, 2004, our beloved mother and Nana passed away at the Grace General Hospital surrounded by her family. She is survived by her daughters, Leslie and Lori; her grandson
s, Tavis and Zachary; her ex-husband John Walker; her parents Ernest and Olive Wells; her siblings, Gordy (Blanche), Lynda (Gary), Bev (Buzz), Gerry, Garry (Joni), Sheila (Alain), Billy (Lorraine), Nona (Sean); her godchild Charlene; and many aunts, uncles, cousins, nephews, nieces and friends too numerous to mention but all very special to Mom. Sandra was born
in Lachine, QC, and was raised in a beautiful home on St. Louis Avenue in Pointe Claire, QC. It was there that she met her one and only love, John Walker. They married on December 4, 1965, and together they raised two daughters. Although they divorced in 1988, they remained close friends. We would like to take this time to thank him for his continued love and support - it meant a great deal to Mom. Mom was especially proud of her two grandsons, Tavis and Zachary. She was very close to both boys, and they shared a special bond with their Nana. Whenever they were together there was always a lot of laughter. Sandra was an avid gardener, and this is evident in the many flowers surrounding her home. Friends and family have helped tremendously this summer to keep her gardens growing, and Mom was appreciative of everyone's efforts. One of her greatest joys was looking out at the flowers and when able she loved sitting in the backyard admiring the view. Sandra worked for the North West Company, first in Montreal and then when the company moved to Winnipeg in 1993, she made the move with them. She loved her job and was devastated when she had to stop working in January due to her illness. She had fond memories of her time at work and made many wonderful friends. She would have celebrated 30 years with the company in December 2004. Her move to Winnipeg was made easier thanks to the kindness of her neighbours, especially Lois and Cory Godri, who have been very generous with their friendship, time and support. We would like to take this opportunity to thank Mom's family, Dad's family and all of Mom's friends who rallied around her during her brief struggle with ALS. Their love and support gave her great strength and many happy memories. Fly Free, Mom We love you. Cremation has taken place. There will be no funeral or formal service as per Sandra's wishes. There will be a private family gathering at a later date. Donations can be made in her honour to The Children's Wish Foundation, 350 St. Mary Ave., R3C 3J2, or the ALS Society of Manitoba, N108 North Pavilion, 2109 Portage Ave., R3J 0L3.

Born in Regina in 1909 he completed his early schooling in Brantford and Toronto. In 1927, he joined Richardson Securities which began his illustrious 75 year investment career. He enlisted in 1940 and served with the Royal Navy, on loan from the Royal Canadian Navy, and was discharged with the rank of Lt-Commander at the end of 1945. After the war, he returned to Richardson's in Toronto which lead to moves to Vancouver and then Winnipeg. Most of his business life was spent with the Richardson Companies where he ended his career as Managing Partner of Richardson Securities and Vice President of the parent company James Richardson and Sons. After his "retirement", he set up his own consulting and investment advisory firm working daily in his office until the age of 93. During his career he was President of the Investment Dealers Association and Vancouver Stock Exchange. He was a director of many corporations which included Investors Group, Dome Petroleum, and Westeel amongst others. Even though business was his passion he also recognized the importance of community service. He assisted both financially and through leadership roles for many organizations such as Balmoral Hall, the Children's Hospital Foundation, the Winnipeg Symphony, Mount Carmel Clinic, the Manitoba Conservatory of Music and Arts, the Winnipeg Rowing Club, the I.H. Asper School of Business, and Junior Achievement to list just a few. While overseas in 1944, Norm married his "Scottish lass" Juanita Denny of Loch Lomond and shortly thereafter they started their family. Norm was an immensely proud and supportive father. Many of our happiest times with Dad were spending summers at Lake of the Woods or listening to his piano playing. His love of the lake has been passed on to the future generations. In father's spare time he enjoyed playing the piano, golf, and travelling. In later years he enjoyed walks with his faithful four footed friend "Goldie". He has been a member of the Vancouver Club, Capilano Golf Club, St. Charles Country Club, Manitoba Club (Past President) and a founding member of the Winnipeg Squash Club. The family would like to thank, Remy and Manny Zamora; and family for their loving care over the past years to both Norm and Juanita; special thanks to Dr. Lloyd Bartlett, his longtime friend and physician; the devoted caregivers who provided the love and support which enabled Dad to have quality time at home over the past year.
