Send Flowers to the Family Offer Condolences or MemoryBARBARA RUTH BELLINGHAM
Never be sad at my passing, my life was a true blessing. At ten years, The Second World War came, dad in the Air Force, the family sent to PEI, nine months later a transfer to St. Jean, Quebec till war ended. With training planes flying formation, my friends there and one in Montreal, 1945 brought us back to Winnipeg and graduation from Kelvin High School. Then Business College, employment at Great West Life accounting for 4 1/2 years – super job and lifelong friends. Flying was my ambition but along came Jack. We met in 1947, married in 1951 to 53 1/2 years of happiness. Jack's work with C.G.E. sent us to Dauphin, Brandon and back to Winnipeg. Home at 222 Linwood Street, St. James, a happy place for family for 37 years. Dana was born in 1952, Wayne in 1954, and Jeff in 1956. We had great summers at Clear Lake, Riding Mountain first at my parent's cottage, then our home in Onanole, along with cats, dogs and canaries. Golf, boating, swimming and hiking, were fun times for family and friends. St. James Y.M.C.A became a family focus – swim meets, dinners, many programs dedicated to leadership and volunteering, with motto 'spirit, mind and body' served our family well. Dana, Wayne and Jeff excelled in education and sports. Next came their employment at City of Winnipeg – Dana with recreation, Wayne and Jeff with Winnipeg Police Department. Jack and I were proud of their achievements and dedication to success. Next came marriages, grandchildren and great-grandchildren, 'frosting on our cake'.

Jack and I moved to Gimli in 1992, closer to family and friends. Tragedy came in 1999, our beloved Wayne passed away, then my Jack in 2004, and Jeff in 2022. A struggle to meet each day, then I looked back to a cherished family and friends who knew three great guys.
I moved to St. Anne's, 2005, then onto senior residences in Winnipeg 2010.
My sincere love and thanks to my super family, neighbours, colleagues in St. James, nieces (extended families), and lifelong friends (Marg). True blessings of a happy life.
