LEPPER: Mary-Ann Lepper (nee Dunfield) February 10, 1948 – June 9, 2011. It is with extreme sadness that we announce the passing of our dear wife, mother and grandmother Mary-Ann. Leaving to cherish her memory are her husband Don, sons Sean (Tobi) and Stephen (Maureen), her brother Grant (Marion), grandchildren Auriel, Kaitlyn, Jillian, Luke and Max and brothers-in-law Dave (Gloria) and Bruce (Kathy), her sister-in-law Janice (Jim) and nieces Alison, Paula, Heather, Barbara, Trisha and Carolyn. Mary-Ann was predeceased by her father Edgar and mother Anne. Mary-Ann was born in Foxwarren, Manitoba and moved to Brandon with her family in 1953. Upon completion of her grade 12 at Vincent Massey Collegiate, she moved to Winnipeg to study Home Economics at the U of M. Mary-Ann taught at General Byng School and Vincent Massey Collegiate in the Fort Garry School Division for 26 years, retiring in 2002. Mom loved to travel and she and dad had many wonderful trips to Europe, South America, Asia, Australia and New Zealand. Mom had a variety of interests. She loved playing card games, cross country skiing, quilting and gardening. She spent hours tending her flower garden at the cottage. In retirement, she enjoyed walking with the Prairie Pathfinders, serving on the RMNP Historical Society, yoga and pilates, and her book and bridge clubs. Mary-Ann’s number one priority always was her family; she loved looking after her grandchildren. Her family appreciates the many good times she provided, whether it was family vacations skiing at Banff or just relaxing at the lake or farm. Mary-Ann always wanted everyone to have an enjoyable time. If friends so desire, donations may be made to the Canadian Cancer Society, 193 Sherbrook Street Winnipeg, Manitoba, R3C 2B7. A memorial service will be held on Tuesday, June 14 at 2:00 p.m. at the Charleswood United Church, 4820 Roblin Blvd. Reception will follow. Voyage Funeral Home & Crematorium, 1577 Pembina Highway, 204-284-7500.
