BELGUE, Mary Elizabeth June 12, 1966 April 28, 2006 After an unbelievably
courageous battle with cancer, Mary left us in peace and serenity with her
mother and her partner at her side. Loved by so many, she is survived by her
mother Catherine and stepfather Ian, her father Terence and stepmother
Nancy, her sisters Lia and Sarah, her brother Michael, her step and half
brothers Ian, John and Daniel, and her partner Carl, along with scores of
friends and family in Canada, the United States and Korea. Mary faced her
illness with dignity and incredible strength, after a life characterized by
grace, independence and style. An accomplished fashion designer, artist and
chef, anything Mary touched would be influenced by her flair and particular
point of view. Always up for a spirited discussion on anything from the
English premiership to Eastern philosophy, she was a daughter, a sister, an
auntie, a mentor, a friend, an inspiration. Finally free, you are with us
always in our hearts, our spirits and our minds Mary. We love you. We would
like to give a special thanks to Ashanti, Mieke and Judith, who enabled Mary
to face the final stage of her life with great dignity and comfort. We are
indebted to you forever. A celebration of Mary's life will take place at
2:00pm, Wednesday May 3rd, 2006 at the University of Victoria Interfaith
Chapel, in Victoria, BC. In lieu of flowers, please make any donations to
the Victoria Hospice Society, www.victoriahospice.org or the David Suzuki
Foundation, www.davidsuzuki.org 237963

SCHELL, Frances Helen Peacefully on April 29th, 2006 at the Saanich
Peninsula Hospital in Sidney, British Columbia at the age of 95. Predeceased
by her husband Mervin and her sister Eileen she is survived by daughter
Heather (Jim) Flanigan of Burlington, Ontario, son Spencer (Liisa) Schell of
Winnipeg, 5 grandchildren Jeff, Patti (Darren), Raina (Ryan), Maija (Chris)

life whether she was travelling, enjoying the family cottage at Falcon Lake
or the company of her many friends. She loved to do flower arrangements,
water colours and portraits. She always enjoyed a good game of cribbage, and
for one of the family to beat her was a very rare occurrence. The family
would like to thank the staff of the Saanich Peninsula Hospital for their
dedicated and caring attention toward Frances over the last several months.
Cremation has taken place and as were her wishes, a private service will be
held. In lieu of flowers, donations in Frances' memory may be made to the
Heart and Stroke Foundation of Manitoba or to a charity of one's choice.
