JOHN WATSON
October 13, 2004
JOHN WATSON Peacefully on October 9, 2004, in the company of his beloved wife, Patricia (Mary) and many of his children and grandchildren. John was born
in Blackpool, England on July 5, 1921. He served with the RAF during the Second World War. From 1942-44 he was stationed in Western Canada training pilots for the RAF. It was here that he met Patricia. He returned to England in 1944, serving Bomber Command in Europe until the end of the war. They were married in England in 1945 and returned to Winnipeg, MB in 1947. John's early occupation was in banking and then the British Trade Commissioner's Office, but he spent most of his career travelling the roads of Western Canada in the textiles business. He was a sports enthusiast who was actively involved in cricket and table tennis, where he played in the top levels for several years, winning the Manitoba doubles championship and reaching the singles finals on several occasions. John's true passion blossomed upon his retirement. He transformed a life long love of music into a full-time singing career with the Winnipeg Male Chorus, the Winnipeg Seniors Choir, a small barbershop group and the church choirs at St. Mary Magdalene and then St. Bartholomew's. In 1997 he joined the choir of St. John the Divine in Maple Ridge, BC, where he also sang with Maple Ridge Chor-Fest, and the Maple Ridge Choral Society.

ADRIENNE BAGE
October 14, 2004
ADRIENNE VALERIE BAGE (nee SIMPSON) It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Adrienne Bage, aged 46, on Monday, October 11, 2004, after a brief battle with cancer. She fought fiercely to stay with us. She leaves behind her beloved husband Bill and their children, Chantel and Trevor. Her memory will be forever cherished by her parents, Marjorie and Stuart Simpson; her sisters, Monica (Tim); Ainslee; and brother Riley; as well as numerous nieces and nephews. Adrienne, born
July 27, 1958, grew up and was educated in East Kildonan. She had a passion for life which knew no boundaries, and her many interests allowed her to satisfy one of her great passions - an interest in people. Adrienne had a way with people and over the years she made many friends - relationships she tended to with great attention. As a young person she excelled in sports. She was a member of the Manitoba senior level synchronized swim team, representing the province at the Canadian championships. She played hockey at a time when few young women did and as always, took her place on the ice and showed them what she was made of. When she no longer played sports she went on to coach with the same dedication and commitment that went in to everything she did. One of her greatest joys was her family, in particular her children. She was quick to become involved in all of Trevor and Chantel's activities. She was very active with both the Flin Flon and River East Minor Hockey Associations. Whether at hockey with Trevor or curling with Chantel, Adrienne's voice rang through the building as she cheered her kids and their teammates on. In 1979, while in university, she began work as a cashier at Red River Co-op. Her keen interest in the people around her and her strong sense of fairness drew her to the labour movement as she became active in her union. This began her involvement with the labour movement and the New Democratic Party, leading to her employment in the 1980s as Executive Assistant and then Special Assistant to the Minister of Finance. In 1990 she married Bill, the love of her life, and joined him in Flin Flon. They had many happy years there, highlighted by the birth of Chantel in 1991 and Trevor in 1994. Her family was the central focus of her boundless energy and she welcomed every opportunity to participate in their activities and enjoy their interests. Her involvement in their lives is ever present in the inquisitive and outgoing young people her children have become. When the children began school, Adrienne became the Executive Director of the Flin Flon - Creighton Crisis Centre. As well, she worked as a crisis intervention worker with Child and Family Services. She seemed to always know what was required and handled many difficult situations with both authority and compassion. Her commitment to make this world a better place continued as she and Bill pursued activities in both the labour movement and the political arena. After assisting in his election, Adrienne worked for Flin Flon MLA, Gerard Jennissen, and before long was familiar with every northern community in his constituency. Although she enjoyed her time up north, Adrienne's ties to her extended family resulted in frequent trips to Winnipeg. Summers at the family cottage at Lac Lu were treasured. She eagerly worked with her family on various building projects, whether it was mixing concrete with her parents, tuning up the boat, or planning the next project. In 2003, she took the job of Special Assistant to the Minister of Labour and moved to Winnipeg. Her latest and most important goal was to be here with Bill to guide their children through their early years and see them graduate. Despite many obstacles through the past few months she fought endlessly to get home to her family. While this was not to be, she lived her life in such a way that she leaves them a legacy of love and loyalties which will surround them through this difficult journey. A memorial service will be held at 2:00 p.m., Friday, October 15, at Klassen Funeral Chapel, 1897 Henderson Hwy., with Rev. Bill Blaikie officiating. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made in Adrienne's memory to CancerCare Manitoba, ON 109 - 675 McDermot Ave., Winnipeg R3E 0V9. KLASSEN FUNERAL HOME 1897 Henderson - North of McIvor 925-1120

Lillian was predeceased by her husband Bill, her mother Dora, and brother Archie all in the same year - 1982, and her father John Fraser in 1942. Lillian was born
in Russell, MB. She was a proud descendant of the Red River Settlers, as both grandparents emigrated from Scotland - the Orkney Islands and Inverness. At age 16, Lillian attended and graduated from Dominion Business College. She returned to Russell and commenced employment at a local bank. There she met her soon to be husband, William Danish, a student from the University of the Manitoba, Faculty of Agriculture. After a courtship of four months, they were married in 1932. Bill was hired as a Manitoba government creamery inspector and they spent many years travelling the province. They were transferred back to Winnipeg, though Bill still travelled out of town much of the time. Lillian was happy in their lovely home on Niagara, enjoying her garden, cooking, baking and entertaining so beautifully. She was "in demand" as a judge at the local Manitoba Horticulture Fairs, judging what she herself did so well. She also took painting lessons and painted some lovely works, mostly of flowers and nature. After Bill's death, she became a volunteer at the Cancer Research Centre. In 1997 she was honoured to receive the Barry Adams Award for outstanding volunteer service to the Manitoba Cancer Treatment & Research Foundation. After several years living alone, she moved to a suite in Evergreen Place, near Augustine Church. Up until the past few years when she was no longer able, she was extremely active in the life of Augustine. Her church friends and affiliation were so meaningful and close to her heart. She eventually had to move to Lions Manor, for more care, where she was able to partake in many of their outings and activities. A year ago, after more serious health concerns, she became a resident at Misericordia Hospital. She is survived by her niece Mary Edwardsson (Evert) of Winnipeg and their children, Kenneth and Anne Edwardsson; and her niece Margaret Ann Hudson (Harvey) and their children, Bill, Jim and Heather Hudson all of Fort Frances, ON.
