Strecker, Beverly
STRECKER _ Beverly Margaret (Peg). With great sadness we announce Peg's
passing at the age of 89, peacefully on October 13, 2005 with her family at
her side. Peg is survived by Gorton, her loving husband of 63 years, her
daughters Catherine (Hugh), Susan (Baron) and her three adored grandchildren
Caitlin, Liam and Aidan. Peg also leaves behind her faithful companion and
much loved friend Joyce Salinas. Peg was born and raised in Winnipeg and she
and Gort moved to Vancouver in 1987 to be closer to their family. Peg was
blessed with a wonderful and full life that included family, great friends
and travel. As the pitfalls of age caught up to her, she refused to give in
and chose instead to fight back and teach Aidan as much as she could about
life and being strong. The entire family would like to thank the many
members of the medical community for all of their kind help over the past
years and particularly Dr. Stan Lubin. Peg wanted everyone to consider how
they might contribute to eradicating cancer and then act on that
consideration. Therefore, in lieu of flowers, donations to the BC Cancer
Foundation would be greatly appreciated. By Mom's request there will be no
funeral, instead a private family memorial will take place.

WILSON _ Lesilee Suzanne (nee Duncan) 28 March 1957 - 14 October 2005. This
woman was known and loved by many and has left us to be with her father
Allan Charles, her Aunt and Uncle Bill and Eileen Burton, Uncle Norman, her
grandparents, her cousin Brent Burton, and her dear friend Kelly. Be
comforted knowing they will receive her in peace. Lesilee was born in
Edmonton, schooled in Toronto, and lived in Vancouver, Ottawa and Kemptville
before relocating to Winnipeg in 1997. Lesilee's passion for people was
always demonstrated through the generous giving of her time, her energy and
a genuine sense of caring. She was willing to help anyone who needed
anything and Lesilee's life led her along many paths - no, many, many
paths... She loved photography, she loved animals, she loved her
environment; never a pop can did she pass that did not lose its tab for the
wheelchairs that they buy. Lesilee lived by the motto, love, life, laughter
and magic. Her life was creative and colourful. Lesilee's struggle has
ended, she met her challenges of this life and she will live on in all of us
that knew her. She is survived by her son Chase, her mother Cleone and her
partner James Rowden, her brothers, sisters and their partners Bryan (Skip)
Duncan (Toronto), Cameron and Joyce Duncan (Toronto), Keith and Dale Duncan
(North Bay), Alana Duncan-Cameron (Ottawa), Kerrie Duncan and Rosie Walsh
(New Zealand). Her faithful companion Feebee, a Lab, Border-Collie mix,
misses her too. Lesilee's nieces, nephews and great-niece were truly loved
by her, Kristen, Shelley, Karman, Eve, Anna, Arleigh, Sean, Jesse, Robert
and Beki, Matthew, Brendan and dear little Mira. She will be sadly missed
and graciously remembered by the residents of 64 Nassau, colleagues from the
St. Amant Centre and all the wonderful people who recently joined her on her
path. She was willing to help anyone who needed anything. Lesilee will be
remembered at a Wiccan ceremony to be held at Neil Bardal Inc, 984 Portage
Avenue (entrance on Aubrey Street) at 1:00 pm on Saturday, October 22, 2005.
Lesilee would want you to put a food item in the food bank bin at your
