GAIL RENEE GLESBY On Saturday, October 23, 2004, Gail Glesby found inner peace and happiness. Gail was born
on November 2 1958, in Bemiji, MN. She was a gift from God to Stan and Lori Hendrickson. Gail was raised in International Falls, MN where she shared numerous memories with her sister Heidi and best friend Shannon. She later chased her "Rock Star" Bradley Beauchemin to Winnipeg, when in 1977 they were married. In 1980 they had a baby girl named Ashley Marie. In 1983 she found love for a second time with Raymond Glesby. They married
in 1984 and were blessed with her "sonny boy" Dylan Ray in 1985. Following that Gail moved to St. Malo, where she met many friends and shared some more special memories. She then chose to move closer to her family and resided in Fort Frances for the next eight years. She once again left her impression and memories on numerous different friends. She just recently moved back to Winnipeg to be with her children and grandchildren who were her drive in life. Gail had a lot of friends, not a surprise to anyone. Her vibrant personality and sense of humour attracted people to her. She was known to be a "little" ball of life always chatty and laughing. Gail is survived by son Dylan; daughter Ashley (Martin); grandchildren, Austin and Samara; parents, Stan and Lori Hendrickson; sister Heidi (Gary); nieces, Cassidy and Kylie; and special friends, Sharon (Kelly), Darlene, Julie and Frankie.

NELLIE HERDA
October 27, 2004
NELLIE MARY HERDA (nee WITKO) On Saturday, October 23, 2004, Nellie Mary Herda, of Cook's Creek, MB, died in St. Boniface Hospital, Winnipeg, after enduring several years of declining health. She was 91 years old. Nellie was predeceased by her husband Joseph Lawrence Herda in 1991 after nearly 60 years of marriage. She was also predeceased by her parents Andrew and Anna Witko; and her brothers, Frank, Tom, Kaszmir, Michael and Ted. She is survived by her daughter Irene (Ron) Stevens of Selkirk, MB; and two sons, Jim (Audrey) Herda of Cook's Creek and Douglas (Dang) Herda of Kemptville, ON; six grandchildren, Judy and Chris, Karen, Susan and Lori and Jason; six great-grandchildren, Etta, Skyla and Colton, Ryan, Mathew and Luke. Survivors also include her three sisters, Frances Szalanski of Kenora, ON, Alma (Bill) Horodyski and Steffie Melnyk, both of Winnipeg; and numerous nieces and nephews. Born January 13, 1913, Nellie lived on the family farm one mile west and one-half mile north of Garson and attended Garson school. She married
a neighbour Joseph Herda, November 17, 1931. After spending several years on rented land in the Mayfield and Cook's Creek areas, the young couple were finally able to purchase an 80-acre farm at Cook's Creek where they established themselves for the rest of their lives. In addition to the farm, Joseph operated a threshing machine and a truck hauling gravel, grain, livestock and cordwood. He later became a licensed transfer operator before establishing in 1948 a service garage and an implement and car dealership in Oakbank, MB. All this while, Nellie tirelessly devoted herself to raising her family, maintaining the household and farm and supporting St. Michael's Roman Catholic Church which she attended regularly all her life. She took great pride in her garden, particularly the flowers. Nellie approached these tasks with a disarming smile, denoting an ability to look always on the bright side of life. To the end, never losing this buoyant disposition, she bore without complaint the mounting infirmities of age and ill health, fearful, as always, of imposing on others, yet ever grateful for small favours rendered. After the children had left home and Nellie was afforded some leisure time, she took up oil painting. Soon her house and those of her children were enlivened with her works from nature, especially of delicate flowers and brilliant leaves. She also enjoyed the companionship of working many summers in the restaurant at Elmhurst golf course. Her son Douglas, former RCMP officer, now retired, provided Nellie the opportunity for travel during the 1980s and early 1990s when he was posted as the RCMP liaison officer to Canadian Embassies and High Commissions in South East Asia. With her husband Joe, while he was still living, Nellie was able to visit Douglas at his postings in Hong Kong, Bangkok and Singapore. With her cousin Theresa Bodner, Nellie also toured extensively by bus throughout Canada and the United States. The family wishes to thank the many individual persons in her community and in the health care field who have supported and sustained Nellie during trying times. Special thanks are offered to the following: first, to those staff members of the emergency department and of Ward 5E of the St. Boniface Hospital who provided superior and dedicated service to Nellie while she was a patient in their care; second, to the staff of Misericordia Hospital who provided personal care; and third, to those who provided the opportunity for Nellie to engage in uplifting social activities in her own community. Prayers will be held on Wednesday, October 27 (tonight) at 7:30 p.m. in the St. Michael's Roman Catholic Church in Cook's Creek. Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated on Thursday, October 28 at 10:30 a.m., also in the church with Father Boguslaw Wardzinski officiating. Interment to follow in the Parish cemetery. In lieu of flowers, donations made to the Heart & Stroke Foundation, 6 - 200 Donald St., Winnipeg, MB R3L 0K6, would be gratefully appreciated. Gilbart Funeral Home, Selkirk in care of arrangements.
