MAY PAINCHAUD It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of May Painchaud (nee Shepley) on Wednesday, June 6, 2018, with her family by her side. May was just short of her 88th birthday and had been a resident of Poseidon Personal Care Home for the past while. Left to survive May are her sister Norma Bearisto (Nels); sisters-in-law, Claire (Bernie), Nicole and Brenda (Peter), nieces and nephews, Deanna, Dan, Robert (Lise), Chantal (Brian), Dominique (Brad), Denise (Bruce), Melanie (Gord), Dan (Michelle), Karl (Meghan), Justin (Darci), Kalyn (Brad) and Mack. She was predeceased by her husband Bernard, brothers-in-law, Marcel and Robert and sister-in-law Valerie. May was a longtime resident of Elmwood where she was a member of Gordon King Memorial United Church. She worked for many years with the Provincial Government, assessment branch. Nature and the great outdoors were very important to her. She and Barney loved Grand Beach and Birds Hill Park where they would go walking and cross country skiing. Flowers and birds were her passion and she loved her rock garden. She made numerous trips to Hawaii and England. Music was a big part of her life as well as golf with her friends and a great interest in the British monarchy. On Friday, June 15, 2018, May's Funeral Service will be held at 2:00 p.m. in Gordon King Memorial United Church, 127 Coburg Avenue. Our family would like to thank the fourth-floor staff at Poseidon for their gentle care of our loved one.

I met May back in 1999 when I was doing a residency at Gallery 111 at Manitoba University. May had contacted WAG after she’d seen my name in the press following my residency the previous summer in 1998 - the gallery put us in touch and so we met up in ‘99 - turns out May was a Shepley too! And hailed from the same place my family came from in Derbyshire, UK around Chapel-en-le-Frith. She and Barney were great, loving, kind and fun to be with. I am saddened to hear of her passing. My condolences to her family and loved ones. - Posted by: Alec Shepley (Friend (and possible distant relative)) on: Jul 19, 2018

I worked in the same department as May for some of the best years of my career. She was ethical, moral and dedicated to doing the best job she could in her capacity as the administrator responsible for the operation of the Municipal Assessment Branch. She set a great example for many of us as we started our journey to provide the best service we could to the people we served in the workplace. I was a better employee for having had the opportunity and honor of working with May and getting to know her as the very good person she was. She exemplified the best in everything she did - well done in every respect. - Posted by: Susan Rusk (Working friends) on: Jun 12, 2018
