MARY (MAY) AGNES TOWN It is with sadness we announce the passing of May Town, on December 1, 2014. Stricken with Alzheimer's disease, resulting in a difficult past few years, May led an amazing life punctuated by her quiet strength, courage, and determination. May is survived by her husband of 67 years Robert (Bob) Town; her children Audrey (Lorne), Wendy (Hugh), Rick (Jane), Patti (Bob); 10 grandchildren, Allison, Todd, Kim, Mike, Dave, Jeremy, James, Randall, Nikki, and Cam; along with 10 great-grandchildren. As a stay at home mom, she raised four children and provided care to numerous nieces and nephews. She worked tirelessly to provide a loving home. Self-taught, she excelled at sewing, knitting, gardening, cooking and of course, baking (never once using a recipe and yet everything turned out perfectly). Our home and surrounding neighbourhood was always filled with the pleasant aroma of baked bread and rolls. May loved watching sports on TV, especially the Grey Cup, and was an accomplished 5 pin bowler. She also was enthralled with the golden age of cinema and music, and regaled in the stories of Frank Sinatra and his 'Rat Pack'. May returned to work part time and moved to full time administrative office work, finally retiring as Office Manager at Export Packers. May gained great satisfaction from her career. In her spare time between bowling and gardening, she attended meetings of Ladies of the Nile and enjoyed going to Bingo and the local casino. Bob and May travelled often, including trips to Australia, Europe, the Caribbean, many trips on Via Rail across Canada, camping, and as Snow Birds' at their winter home in Pharr, Texas. A Celebration of Mom's life will take place on Wednesday, December 10, 2014 at 1:00 p.m. in the Chapel at Misericordia Place, 44 Furby Street, Winnipeg, Manitoba. We wish to thank the wonderful compassionate staff of the 3rd floor Misericordia Place for the excellent care and support they have given our Mother and family. In lieu of flowers please make a donation to the Alzheimer Society of Manitoba to help cure this debilitating disease or to Misericordia Place.
