GRACE ELEANOR BOYLE February 24, 1918 - June 11, 2013 Peacefully, on Tuesday, June 11, 2013 at Beacon Hill Lodge, Grace Eleanor Boyle passed away at the age of 95. Grace was born February 24, 1918, in Souris MB, daughter of the late Herbert and Lillian Hayes. She met and married Archie Boyle, in Winnipeg, where they resided all of their life and raised their family. Mom had many jobs in life, but the most important was working for the Winnipeg Post Office for 22 years, which was a highlight of her life. She loved going to the cottage at Balsam Bay and then later to Pelican Lake where she could be with family and friends. Travelling was another passion especially to Arizona. She was always friendly and so kind to others, whether it was family, friends or her neighbours at Richmond Gardens helping out with making their meals when they were ill, or doing odd jobs for them. Mom loved her bowling, card games and puzzle nights. Predeceased by her three brothers Chuck, Sid, and Bill, two sisters Vivian and Lillian, and loving husband Archie in 1980, Mom leaves to cherish her memory daughter Eleanor Johannesson (Wayne) and son Brian Boyle (Donna). Grandma will also be lovingly remembered by her five grandchildren Daryl (Erin), Warren, Leanne (Ward), Robbie and Kelly (Tara), six great-grandchildren, Rae-Anne, Kyle, Rachelle, Rebecca, Anthony, and Joseph, her surviving sister Viola Nicol, numerous cousins, nieces, nephews and their families, and many friends. We wish to express our sincere thanks to the staff at Beacon Hill Lodge, especially Karen and Mary, for their compassion and kindness shown to our mom, to Donna Hutchinson for her constant company and shoulder to cry on, and Gord and Evelyn Holman for always being there for us. Cremation has taken place, and as per Mom's wishes, a private family interment will take place at a later date. Mom, your love for all of us was unconditional Loving you, and missing you, will always be endless God made a wonderful mother, and He gave that dear mother to us Please God, hold her in your loving arms, until we meet again THOMSON "IN THE PARK" 204-925-1120 Condolences may be sent to www.thomsoninthepark.com
