Noel was born
and raised in Toutes-Aides, MB where he spent his childhood. After high school he joined Royal Bank in February 1964, and made it his career for 32 years until his retirement in May 1996. There he acquired many lasting friendships that were very dear to him. In spring of 1997, he joined Caisse Populaire Saint-Boniface, where he worked with wonderful people who were very special to him. Dad has always been dedicated to his profession. He will be remembered for his kind, gentle and caring nature, his deep devotion to his family and his great pride in his grandchildren. He was a humble individual loved by everyone who had the opportunity to meet him. His most precious memories were when he was surrounded by family and friends at the family cottage in Lac du Bonnet which became his retirement home. His hobbies were fishing, BBQing, carpentry/renovating and entertaining. In August 2003, Dad officially retired and moved to Lac du Bonnet eager to begin a new life at the cottage. Unfortunately, a few weeks into his retirement he was stricken with cancer and unable to fulfil his lifelong dream. The family wishes to thank the wonderful caring team of Palliative Care 3East, Riverview Health Centre, Dr. Garcia, and community palliative care nurse Myrna. Special thanks is extended to the personnel of Caisse Populaire who were so caring and supportive throughout his illness and to all his friends and relatives who made a difference in his life. Special gratitude goes out to Willis Kleebaum, brother-in-law and best friend who spent countless hours comforting Noel and was always by his side to cheer him up. Dad, we can finally take comfort in knowing you have found peace and tranquility in heaven. May this new home embrace you with eternal love and joy. In us, your spirit will live forever. We will miss you dearly. Funeral mass will be celebrated in the St. Martyrs-Canadiens Catholic Church, 289 Dussault in St. Boniface on Tuesday, June 8 at 2:00 p.m. with Fr. Armand LeGal and Fr. Gerald Labossiere officiating. Interment to follow in the Glen Lawn Cemetery. Flowers gratefully declined.

With tearful eyes we watched you And saw you pass away, And although we loved you dearly We could not make you stay. A golden heart stopped beating Hard working hands to rest God broke our hearts to prove to us He only takes the best.

Our "Special Angel" will be dearly missed by her husband John; children, Joan (Ron), Marilyn (Don), Darlene (Vince); and grandchildren, Jackie (Jeremy), Tara, Jason, Deborah, Karen; and many nieces and nephews and dear friends. Mom was born
April 7, 1919 in Winnipeg. She dedicated her entire life to caring for her family. She loved them and they love her immensely. Mom touched the lives of everyone she met, with a genuine warmth and kindness. She had such determination confronting health problems, never complaining and never giving up. A truly unselfish individual, she never thought of her own hardships but only of others' well being. Mom loved to cook and bake for her family and truly was "first class". We will forever reminisce about our wonderful family holiday dinners. One of her favourite pastimes was playing cards with family or friends and needless to say, she most often defeated us all. She truly enjoyed watching baseball and hockey with Dad. Mom and Dad had been married for sixty-two years. Before her arthritis limited her activities, she delighted in shopping trips to the States and Vegas. Many thanks to Dr. Aoki. Your special care and concern for Mom over the years meant so much to her as well as the family. Home Care Coordinator, Timmalee Thompson is to be commended for arranging excellent home care services for Mom. Special thanks to Maggie Campbell, whose kindness over the years made her a valued friend. Cremation has taken place. Memorial service will be held Monday, June 7, at 3:30 p.m. at Cropo Funeral Chapel, 1442 Main Street. Flowers are gratefully declined. If so desired, donations may be made in her memory to the Winnipeg Humane Society, 5 Kent St., Winnipeg, MB R2L 1X3 or charity of one's choice. There is a bridge of memories, From here to Heaven above. That keeps you very close to us, It's called the 'Bridge of Love" As time goes by without you, And the days turn into years, They hold a million memories, And a thousand silent tears. To us you were so special, What more is there to say, Except we wish with all our hearts That you were here today. Rest peacefully now, Mom - We will miss you dearly. Cropo Funeral Chapel 586-8044
