Send Flowers to the Family Offer Condolences or MemoryGEORGETTE TAYLOR (nee DIONNE) It is with great sadness and heavy hearts that we announce the peaceful passing of our beloved wife, mother, grandmother and great-grandmother, Georgette Taylor, on Monday, October 6, 2014 in Winnipeg, Manitoba, at the age of 87 years. Georgette leaves to mourn her beloved husband David; children Michael (Kathy), Robert (Linda), Rose Marie (Steve), Cecile (Keith), Juliette (Raynald), Jerome (Shannon), David Jr. (Keri), Pamela; sister Marcelle (Bill); 16 grandchildren; 12 great-grandchildren, as well as many nieces and nephews. She was predeceased by her parents Joseph and Cecile Dionne and brother Jules. On May 7, 1927, Georgette was born in Letellier, Manitoba. She moved to Winnipeg where she met David, the love of her life. They were married on May 10, 1952. They shared 62 wonderful years together and raised seven children. Georgette gave everything of herself to care for her family. Her kind and gentle nature and infinite wisdom were encouragement to everyone around her to be a better person. Throughout her life, Georgette faced many medical challenges with courage, and always had a smile. She would always say, selflessly "better me than you". All the kids in the neighbourhood looked forward to coming to our house to play, because they knew that Mom would have homemade cookies or her bread dough "pillows" ready for everyone to share. After her last diagnosis and a brief stay in hospital, Mom wanted to come home to be with her family. Every little thing we did for her was always greeted with many thanks, hugs and kisses. It was an honour and privilege for all of us to be able to help Georgette through this difficult time in her life. Dad was a pillar of strength for Mom and made her feel so special and so loved. He will truly miss his little "Georgie". Funeral Mass will be celebrated on Tuesday, October 14, 2014 at 10:00 a.m. in St. Ann's Roman Catholic Church, 271 Hampton Street, Winnipeg, MB. The family would like to thank Georgette's special friend Sister Alice Konefall for her many visits to the house. Sister and Mom shared the same birthday. The family would also like to thank her Guardian Angels from Palliative Care, Trish, Tom, Sean, Jenn and Wendy (to name only a few) for the care and compassion they showed to Mom and our family throughout her illness. Special thanks to Dr. Bruce Martin and Dr. Jonathan Elkin who provided guidance and care. In lieu of flowers donations may be made to the WRHA Palliative Care Donation Fund, MS107 - 820 Sherbrook Street, Winnipeg, MB, R3A 1R9. Wojcik's Funeral Chapel & Crematorium, 2157 Portage Avenue, 204.897.4665, is in care of arrangements. wojciksfuneralchapel.com "Rest in peace our little Angel and may God keep you in his loving arms until we can all be together again. You enriched our lives, which will never be the same without you".

Grandma, you were wiser than you knew, you influenced and touched the hearts of everyone who had the honour to know you. You made us all want to be better people, and to love the little things in life. You will be greatly missed, and never forgotten. We all have the most beautiful guardian angel watching over us and living within our hearts. Love you Grandma. Samantha and family - Posted by: Samantha (Granddaughter ) on: Oct 12, 2014

Auntie Georgette, Uncle Dave and family: it was a blessing to have had Auntie Georgette in my life. As life often does, it takes us on paths that make us so busy and we forget to stop and take the time to connect. Every time I had the opportunity to see or speak to you, it was as if no time had passed. Your loving manner swept me back to my childhood and the excitement and love I would feel whenever we got together with you and your family. You truly were an angel among us and I believe that your soul is so strong that it will continue to influence us for many years to come. God bless you, and Uncle Dave and and all my cousins and their families. Love, Maureen - Posted by: Maureen Kennington (Niece) on: Oct 11, 2014
