work, a reasonably good life and some personal disappointments. She worked in Vancouver
as a domestic helper for 1 year, then in hotels, first as a chambermaid and later as a
housekeeper. In the last 10 years she suffered terrible pain to her legs, due to the bad
circulation and in the year 2000 she had both of her legs amputated. And now the same
malady has caused her demise. Stella will be sorely missed by her family, former

RILEY _ Frances (Dime) died quietly at home in Winnipeg on Friday, May 3, 2002 after a
brief illness and a long, full life. She was a woman of many accomplishments but was
best known for her grace, kindness and integrity. Dime was born in Winnipeg in 1917, the
daughter of Harold and Myrtle Aikins. Her grandfather Sir James Aikins founded the
Canadian Bar Association and was Manitoba's Lieutenant Governo r. Her great-grandfather,
James Cox Aikins was also Lieutenant Governor of Manitoba and a minister in the
MacDonald federal cabinet. Her upbringing was in an atmosphere of privilege, but also of
duty. By age 17, Dime had matriculated in Winnipeg and completed a further year's
schooling in England. At the Aikins's summer home near Minaki, Ontario, Dime had
developed skills in swimming, diving, paddling and helping to entertain her family's
many guests. After completing an Honour's degree in English and Music at the University
of Manitoba, Dime married Conrad (C.S.) Riley in May, 1940. C.S. was soon off to England
as an officer with the Royal Canadian Artillery, so Dime joined the Canadian Women's
Army Corps (CWAC). In 1942, at age 25, she commanded the first Company of 500 CWAC
officers and enlisted women posted to England, where she occasionally reunited with C.S.
In 1943 Dime was honorably discharged, with the rank of acting Major, to return to
Winnipeg and give birth to their first child, Conrad Jr. C.S. returned in December, 1944
and he and Dime spent 55 more years together, based in Winnipeg. Although Dime chose to
focus on being a homemaker and to be supportive of C.S. in his career and his
activities, she found time to help others and distinguish herself. She worked hard for
many organizations, including the Canadian Arthritis and Rheumatism Society, the United
Way, Junior League, Balmoral Hall and St. John's-Ravenscourt schools. Dime essentially
completed a Masters degree in English and Philosophy, passed the Canadian Securities
Course and was always involved in extension courses and study groups. She attended
weekly yoga exercises for over thirty years, to the end of her days. To complement
C.S.'s passion for flying, Dime became a licensed private pilot and then went on to
achieve her Float Plane endorsement. She could paddle a canoe through a November Delta
Marsh loaded with dogs, guns and husband. She became a great chef. Most significantly,
Dime paid attention to people. She had a smile and a patient ear for everyone and never
forgot who your aunt was and never failed to be aware of and congratulate you for any
achievement. Dime was predeceased by her husband, C.S. in 1999. She is survived by her
sons , Conrad and Dennis and their families. A service of remembrance will be held for
Dime on Wednesday, May 8 at Westminster United Church, Maryland & Westminster in

CLARK _ Graham S. In memory of Graham who passed away 8 years ago today at age 21. I
give you this one thought to keep - I am with you still - I do not sleep. I am thousand
winds that blow, I am the diamond glints on snow. I am the sunlight on ripened grain, I
am the gentle autumn rain. When you awaken in the mornings hush, I am the swift,
uplifting rush Of quiet birds in circled flight. I am the soft stars that shine at
night. Do not think of me as gone - I am with you still - in each new dawn. - Your
loving family, Mum & Dad, Andrew & Vanessa, Pop, Lesley, Charlie, Jennifer & Lindsay.
