in Cairo, Egypt and moved to Canada with her husband and daughter Maria in 1963. They moved to Thompson, MB where they joined a close-knit Greek community. In 1965, her son Dimitri was born.

Her husband Basil passed away in 1995, which again was very difficult for her. She was also predeceased by her brother Photi and her parents. She is survived by her daughter, Maria, son-in-law Russell Kernaghan and her grandchildren Stephen and Alana. Her family was very important to her and was what kept her going through difficult times.

She will be missed but always remembered by her family. We would like to extend our most sincere thanks to the staff of Poseidon Care Center with a special thanks to Helen and Jay for their support through her years there.

WILLIAM PALEN It is with great sadness we announce that William Palen passed away peacefully surrounded by loving family on August 24, 2004. He is survived by his loving wife Marie of 34 years; and children, Jack Palen (Marilyn), Shirley McMahon (Barry), Lorraine Smith, Linda Carlson (Reg), Frankie Palen, Wayne Ellison (Stephanie, Murray Ellison (Joan), Faye Kusnick (Richard).

in Teulon on August 23, 1913 and lived all of his life in Teulon farming in the Stackpoole area for many years. He worked for Nelson River Construction and was for a time custodian of the Teulon Hall. He was a dedicated school bus driver for several years retiring in 1978. For his enjoyment, he spent many an hour with Marie training and showing horses and restoring old buggies and cutters. He took great enjoyment in family and music. He was known to play the fiddle in his earlier years with brother Sandy and other family and nothing brought him more joy than having his family all around him singing while Marie played the piano. After retirement Bill and Marie took great enjoyment with their shared love of nature going on many an afternoon drive and perhaps stopping for lunch. If you were able to catch them at home you had better be prepared to play cards or shuffleboard. Although we know he is at peace now, he will always be lovingly remembered and forever in our hearts. Special thanks from the family to the doctors and staff of Teulon Hospital and all his caregivers at Tudor House and Rosewood Lodge for all the wonderful care during the many stages of his illness.
