Heloise Kroft
HELOISE KROFT Heloise Kroft passed away on Thursday night, January 24, 2002, at the Health Sciences Centre in Winnipeg. Heloise was born
in Winnipeg on May 26, 1910, and grew up in Norwood, the only daughter among Herman and Hinda Cohn's five children. She attended school there and was working as a legal secretary when she met Charles Kroft. They were married on June 6, 1933, and together lived a full and productive life that spanned nearly 51 years, until Charles' passing in April, 1984. Heloise participated actively with her husband throughout his outstanding career in the grain industry. She was a central part of the local, national, and international network of friends and associates that they built together. She is survived by her two sons, Justice Guy Kroft and Senator Richard Kroft, C.M.; their wives, Hester and Hillaine, who were daughters to her in every way; seven grandchildren, Jonathan (Cara), Debbie (Morley), David (Ellen), and Sarah (Jeff); Beth (Josh), Steve (Lisa) and Gordie; and 13 great-grandchildren; her brother Wilfred (Isobel) in Vancouver, and several nieces and nephews.

In the years since her husband's passing, Heloise has seen her family grow through the marriages of six grandchildren and subsequent great-grandchildren. She has been the active centre of this group and it is impossible to overstate her involvement in and love for her entire family, and theirs for her. Heloise Kroft (Nana) was a proud, independent, caring woman whose role as a builder and sustainer of a loving family will never be forgotten.

Archie made his home in Flin Flon for the past 26 years. Archie will always be remembered as a kind, considerate, generous man with a great sense of humour.

Mary Mcquaid
MARY W. McQUAID (Willi Pineau) July 29, 1939 - January 24, 2002 Peacefully, after a courageous battle, this warm, compassionate mother, grandmother and friend of the community passed on her way.

Although she will be sadly missed by her sons, her daughters, her grandchildren and her countless friends, Willi's acceptance of her calling made her transition less painful.

The family will gather privately to remember her. An announcement will be made in early March for a public celebration of her life to be held later that month. Donations may be made to the Manitoba Lung Association.

Dad was well respected and well liked among his peers for his integrity and honesty and will also be remembered for his wonderful sense of humour. Dad found great pleasure in his visits with his grandchildren and great-grandchildren telling them stories about the old days and listening to all their stories. He was a great inspiration to all of us and to all who knew him. He loved his gardening and yard work. You could find him mowing the grass with his lawn tractor most days during the summer. In the long winters he kept busy in his basement woodworking shop, making bird houses and lawn ornaments that Mom would design and his daughters would paint.
