ANNE BEAUDOIN We grieve at the loss of our beloved wife, mother and grandmother, Anne Beaudoin, who passed on to a better and kinder world on January 30, 2005. She is at rest in the care of God. Anne will be deeply missed by her husband Sid; daughter Linda (Larry), granddaughters, Nicolle and Andrea; son Daniel (Terri), grandson Christopher and granddaughter Alisha; son Barry, granddaughters, Wendy, Katrina and Rebecca; and by her brother William. Anne was predeceased by her parents, Nykyfor and Paranka Ryback; her son Paul Richard; sister Mary; and brother Nicolas. Anne was born in Fort Garry on July 11, 1927. Her parents were market gardeners and Anne frequently worked alongside them, helping in their daily work. Anne seldom started a new school year at the same time as her friends as her help was needed to bring in the fall crops. This earned Anne the affectionate nickname of Spud amongst her school friends. Never-the-less, Anne developed a love of gardening that would remain with her throughout her life. In 1944, Anne took employment with the Department of National Defence in Ottawa. She was working as a cipher clerk at Naval Headquarters in Ottawa when she met Sid in the fall of 1946. Two years later, on September 18, 1948 they were married in the chapel at RCAF Station Rockcliffe. After 27 years and many postings throughout Canada, they settled in Winnipeg in 1975. With the family grown up, Anne went back to work with the DND and was employed as secretary to the CFB Winnipeg BSecO for 10 years. Anne enjoyed many diverse interests. She loved gardening, fishing, the cottage, knitting, bowling, cooking, her soaps, casino trips with the ANAF 283 Over 60 Club, and especially doing things for her children and grandchildren. She was a very loving and caring mother and grandmother, always ready with a smile, a kind word or a helping hand. She had a special place in her heart for her constant companion, Lady. Anne's life will be celebrated at a private family funeral service. Flowers are gratefully declined. If friends so desire, donations in Anne's memory may be made to the Winnipeg Humane Society, 5 Kent St., Winnipeg, MB R2L 1X3 or CancerCare Manitoba, 1160-675 McDermot Ave, Winnipeg, MB R3E 0V9.
