OSCAR NORBERT BEAUDRY With his family by his side, Dad left to join his life partner of 58 years, Isabelle on Tuesday, March 11, 2003. Oscar was born in Vassar, Manitoba on September 16, 1920. He was raised on the family farm and spent the first 30 years of his life farming and working in the woods. In 1951, he moved his family to Winnipeg, where he started his career with the C.N.R. working in the Transcona Shop Yards at many different jobs until his retirement in 1986. He was also a carpenter, auto mechanic, and a jack of all trades, turning his hand to many jobs, helping family and friends in any capacity that he could. He metered out discipline strictly, but with a gentle hand, also opinions and advice even if we didnt want it. He was predeceased by his loving wife Isabelle in 2002; by his parents, Edmond and Josephine Beaudry; brothers, Edmond, Roland and Victor; and sisters, Roseida, Cecile, Florence, Edna; and in infancy Jeanne DArc. He is survived by sons, Rene (Sigrid), Guy (Sheri) daughters, Beatrice and Marcelle (Lyle) grandchildren, Andrea Rozsa (Ken), Deirdre (Jeff Melcosky), Ryan, Hannah, Paige and Lauren Beaudry; great-grandchildren, Stephanie, Tiffany and Courtney Rozsa and great-grandson Austin McCormick; sisters, Jeanne Tardiff (Dollard), Loraine Maroon (James) and Marguerite Middleton; sister-in-law Theresa Sleeman and brothers-in-law, Arthur and Roger Bonot, along with many nieces and nephews. We would like to give special thanks to the 3rd floor staff of the Foyer Valade for their great care of Dad during his stay there.
