WATTS: Marie Eleanor Watts passed away February 8, 2016 in Carberry Hospital with her family by her side, at the age of 88. Mom was born July 24, 1927, the youngest of three, to George and Ellen Froom. She married Dad on November 3, 1945 when they began farming, raising cattle and growing registered seed. Dad passed away on February 5, 2003 at their Weslaco, Texas residence. She is survived by daughters Lynn Watts (Bryan) McCutchin, Carol Ann (Malcolm) McDonald; son John (Pat) Watts; six grandchildren, Annette (Steve) Enns, Marcy McDonald (Jeff) Strain, Nicole McDonald, Michelle (Jon) Draper, Clinton Watts and Sean Watts (Charlene); seven great-grandchildren, Jesse, Ashley and Cody, Taylor and Tyler, Will and Wyatt; one great-great-grandchild, Brody; two sisters-in-law Ruby Birss and Laura Levandosky; and many “special” nephews and nieces. Mom and Dad enjoyed 27 years in Texas where shuffleboard became their favorite pastime. Mom spent four more winters in Texas when she sold her mobile and remained in Carberry. She then sold her mobile in Carberry and moved to her new residence at Lyons Estates on June 29, 2008. Her stay here was very enjoyable, people to visit, coffee parties on Wednesday mornings and the many supper get-togethers in the common room throughout the year. A special thank you to Doreen and Helen for being such great friends. Mom thought you were very “special”. She went every Wednesday to the Drop-In Centre and again enjoyed the company of all her friends. Mom was a special and very determined lady and her family meant the world to her. Thank you to the Home Care Ladies who visited on a daily basis, the staff at Brandon Health Centre and Carberry Hospital for your excellent care of Mom. It was greatly appreciated. A graveside service will be held on May 7, 2016 at 2:00 at Carberry Plains Cemetery after which lunch will be served at the United Church Hall by the Presbyterian Ladies. Memorial donations can be made to a charity of your choice.
