MARY GERMAN
September 18, 2004
MARY GERMAN October 20, 1919 - September 16, 2004 After a brief illness Mary passed away at Riverview Health Centre. Mary is survived by her devoted children, Paul (Bev), Bonnie (Barry), Bob (Gina), Lovie (Greg); grandchildren
; sister Helen; and brother John. Mary was predeceased by her husband John; son John; grandson Kyle; daughter Ann; and her parents, Elsie and William; as well as her partner of many years Chester. Mary was born, raised and attended school in Tolstoi, MB, where she married her husband John. Mary was a person of many interests and talents. She was able to utilize her green thumb and love of gardening in caring for and transplant greenhouse plants at Gobert's Greenhouse. She worked as an aid to the residents of Middle Church Home where her kind ways would have been a gift to all of those she met with. She was also employed by her entrepreneurial nephew Harold, at Portage Markets where she contributed to the growth and success of the business. Thankfully Mary was willing to share the trade secrets of her delicious, authentic Ukrainian food dishes with her family, thereby ensuring the tradition would be carried on for generations. In later years Mary and Chester enjoyed their families, fishing trips to Dryden, ON, weekend trips to Shooting Star, strolling along and socializing at the local mall. One of her happiest experiences, most recently, was meeting new friends and participating in the joyful activities and excursions at Lions Manor. Mary was a loyal friend, a truly loving, generous mother and grandmother. She will live on in our hearts as we pass on her traditions and values. We wish to express our sincere thanks to all of the staff at the Lions Manor, Lori, Dr. Woo and the Diabetic Education Centre, home care nurses and Riverview Centre staff for their care of Mom in the last few months. Funeral service and interment will take place September 21, 2:00 p.m. at Glen Eden Funeral Home. The family asks that you please come and join us for a time of remembering Mom for being just who she was. In lieu of flowers, donations in Mary's memory may be made to the Diabetes., Heart, Cancer Foundations or charity of your choice.

September 18, 2004
WILLIAM "BILL" HEIN The family of William (Bill) Hein is saddened to announce his passing the morning of Thursday, September 16, 2004, a beautiful sunny morning to welcome a beautiful soul to heaven. Bill was 90 years of age and a great man who brought joy and love to those around him and was loved by many who knew him. Remaining to cherish his memory is his wife, Erna of 64 years less one month of marriage. Bill dearly loved his daughters and their husbands, Jean (Al), Sharon (Herman) and Barb (Don). He was a wonderful father and his girls loved him and will miss him so much. Bill will be deeply missed by his grandchildren, Sharon (Stacy), Allison (Bruce), Jonathan (Bonnie), Jennifer (Dan), Melanie and Matthew (Krista); great-grandchildren, Samantha, William, Cody, Noelle, Connor, Brie-Lynn, Sydney and Carter; as well as numerous nieces, nephews, relatives and friends. He left us all a wonderful legacy; how to be strong and how to share love despite all obstacles. Bill was born
March 25, 1914 in Jerschen, Vladimir in U.S.S.R. At age two, with his parents, Johann and Louise and brother, Herman, he moved back to Germany and lived there 10 years before immigrating to Canada and the Brunkild area. He married Erna Kihn in 1940 and they farmed south of Brunkild for almost 50 years. Bill was always ready to help family and friends. His passions were farming, fishing, playing cards, working at Golden Plains, his children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren and spending time with friends and family. Bill loved watching wrestling. He was especially dedicated to counting pennies from the Children's Hospital Teddy Boxes and counted over $20,000 in coins over the years. A Celebration of Bill's Life will be held on Monday, September 20 at 11:00 a.m. in Gloria Dei Lutheran Church, 637 Buckingham Rd. with Pastors Lanny Knutson and Leon Gilbertson officiating. Interment will follow in Leabank Cemetery. Pallbearers will be Bill's six grandchildren. Our family would like to thank all the friends and family who supported them through this very difficult time.

BETTY FLORENCE MAUD HORN Peacefully, on Monday, September 13, 2004, at the Grace General Hospital, it is with deep regret that we announce the death of Betty Horn at the age of 79 years. She leaves to cherish her memory, her cousins, Robert Mackay (Bette), Donald Mackay (Nellie), Lucy Lindall and Violet Robinson; and her very close friends, Richard and Joni Orr. Betty was predeceased by her mother Lucy Marie; father Robert James and her sister Doris (Do) Horn. Betty worked at Fraser Art Supplies for over 40 years where she managed the store for many years. She loved her job so much that if her health allowed, she would still be working there today. Betty was also quite an artist with her pastel and pencil paintings. Betty and Doris loved nothing better than watching television till all hours of the night along with their old movies. Everyone who knew Betty will remember her as a giving and generous person who lived her life through kindness and charity. Betty always put a smile on everyone's face when you met her. Though her health was failing in the last few years of her life, Betty never complained and was always interested in what others were doing. She would always say "there's always someone worse off than me." In accordance with Betty's wishes, no formal funeral service will be held. On behalf of Betty, the family would like to thank all the staff at Heritage Lodge for their personal care and friendship over the last three years. At Heritage Lodge everyone came to love Betty and enjoyed her friendship immensely. Thanks to all her special friends for their regular visits which she enjoyed so much. Flowers are gratefully declined. If friends so desire, donations in Betty's memory may be made to a charity of one's choice.

ALLAN JOHNSTON
September 18, 2004
H. ALLAN (AL) JOHNSTON Peacefully, with family at his side, H. Allan (Al) Johnston died Saturday, September 11, 2004 in Deer Lodge Centre. Al was born
in the original Winnipeg Children's Hospital on November 20, 1919 the only child of Edward J. Johnston (died 1935) and Vera (Tod) (died 1949). He is survived by his beloved wife Margaret (Colven) and stepdaughter Dolores (Fonseca) Haggarty. (Of whose achievements he was extremely proud.) He will be sadly missed by five grandchildren, Elena, Diana, Jennifer, Christopher and Jeremy and seven great grandchildren. In addition, Al is survived by sisters-in-law Jean Mayfield (Los Angeles) and Marjorie Colven (Lindsay, ON.) and by sister and brother-in-law, Helena and Alex Conn (Burnaby, BC). Al is also survived by several cousins in Canada and the US. After graduating from Kelvin High School, Al joined the Queen's Own Cameron Highlanders Reserve. After the Second World War was declared, he transferred to the Airforce where he trained as a Radar Technician. Based in England at various RAF stations, he was responsible for the Radar Unit, at that time a highly secretive British invention. When Al subsequently received an 'overseas' posting to RAF base Greenwood, N.S., he remustered to Aircrew and graduated as a Radar Navigator; after, he returned to England where he eventually joined the 406 Lynx Night Fighter Squadron at Manston, England. Al served there until the end of the European War. It should also be noted that he and his pilot were mentioned in dispatches. Al volunteered for the Japanese Front, but the conflict ceased before he could remuster. After returning to Canada, Al participated in ferrying Lancaster aircraft across Canada to home bases. He was honourably discharged in 1946 to the General Reserve. Over his lifetime, Al maintained his military connection as a member of the Aircrew Association (U.K.) and the Airforce Association of Canada. He was a life member of the Wartime Pilots' and Observers' Association and an Associate Life Member of the Joint Veterans' Housing Society. He was also a member of the St. James Legion Branch No. 4 where he enjoyed many Tuesday luncheons with the 'boys;' he was a member of the Army, Navy and Air Force Veterans in Canada #283, a Founder Member of the Commonwealth Air Training Plan Museum (Brandon, MB) and a member in good standing of the Western Canada Aviation Museum. Al spent his career in the field of electronics, working in various capacities travelling from Thunder Bay to Victoria; he joined the Northwest Commercial Traveller's Association in 1953 and remained a member throughout his life. As everyone knows, Al was an avid curler and spent many years sweeping rocks down the ice. For years he belonged to the West End club, curling out of the Thistle Curling Club. Later, he joined the Deer Lodge Curling Club; toward the end of his curling career, he curled with the Antlers group of seniors at Deer Lodge. Although Al grew up in Cresentwood, he spent most his adult life in St. James. He and Margaret enjoyed their home on Fidler Ave. in Silver Heights for almost fifty years before moving into the Courts of St. James. For the past four years, Al had been residing in Deer Lodge Centre suffering from the debilitating effects of Parkinsons' Disease and other related illnesses. His final years and days were most difficult, but made more comfortable by the fact that his wife Margaret remained an almost daily companion until the moment he died. With that said, the family would like to extend deep appreciation to the staff at Deer Lodge Centre on Two South and Tower Seven for their care, kindness and support during Al's final years. Also we would like to thank the DVA for their support towards his care. A private internment was held at St. John's Cathedral Cemetery; Rev. Susan Van Dreser attended with immediate family. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Al's memory to Ronald MacDonald House, 566 Bannatyne Ave., Winnipeg, MB R3A 0G7. Dearest Allie Without you, life has no meaning or purpose. Thank you for 52 wonderful years of marriage I will miss you forever Love, Margar Neil Bardal Inc. 949-2200
