BERRY, Jean Marguerite (nee Cressman) 1922 2006 Jean Berry was born on
November 3, 1922 in Lashburn, SK. She died as she lived with grace and peace
on Friday, May 19, 2006. Jean Berry, beloved wife of the late Group Captain
Grover Berry, DFC, CD and daughter of Virgil and Pauline Cressman. Cherished
mother of Victoria (David Drake), Peter (Lynn Berry) and John (Nicole Moen).
Loving, energetic and playful grandmother of Matthew, Jessica and Hannah.
Jean was a friend, confidante, patient listener and a lively, dry, witty
conversationalist around the kitchen table, across at least three
generations and on two continents. As a lifelong volunteer for countless
charities and good causes, she particularly loved caring for disabled
infants and children. A voracious reader who trolled bookstores and fed a
healthy addiction to the literary arts, Jean was always saving a few dozen
volumes to read in my old age". An eclectic gourmet, she loved to have lunch
around town, the spicier the better. She wore purple with pride and daring
all her life, never missing a chance to put on a costume; Halloween was a
favourite holiday. A proud native of Saskatchewan (where there really are
hills, you just have to look for them"), Jean was grounded in the realities
of childhood in the dirty `30's with a practical view of living from life on
a farm, and a keen, caring appreciation of people and life in all forms. She
was equally happy and at ease waltzing with royalty at Buckingham Palace,
enjoying Grey Cup parties at the Sergeant's Mess, or making her famous buns
for family Sunday dinners. Mom (Jean, Jeannie) had a full life and she will
be hugely missed. A Celebration of Jean's Life will be held at the home of
Peter and Lynn Berry on Monday, May 22, 2006 at 1:00 p.m. Forward

BOYCE, Stewart 1937 2006 Stewart died peacefully on Sunday, May 21,
surrounded by his wife Carol, his daughter Sara and her husband-to-be
Curtis, his son Christopher and his wife Suzanne, and their soon-to-be first
child. His last days were filled with messages of treasured memories,
admiration and love from a multitude of friends. Thank you all so much for
giving Stewart and his family these remarkable gifts of your love and
esteem. He was truly a good and kind man, known for his great bear hugs, his
quick and always ready sense of humour, his concern for his community, his
sense of adventure, his dedication to the needs of children and all those
who do not easily share in the benefits of our society, and for his deep and
always abiding love for his family. He was the best husband and father in
the whole world and a caring friend to many people. Stewart lived his early
years in Olds, Alberta, the son of Archie and Olwen Boyce and brother of
Michael Boyce. Relationships from those early days in a small rural
community always remained a strong force in his life. He went to Winnipeg
for university, met and married Carol and together they earned Masters
degrees in Social Work. Stewart's career as a social worker encompassed
child residential treatment and child welfare and community development in
Winnipeg's core area. He earned the respect of his colleagues and all those
whose lives he touched. Stewart and Carol started a new chapter in their
lives in 1997 when they moved to Gabriola Island, BC. They both felt they
had found their perfect home. These years in this beautiful community have
brought new friendships, wonderful travels and adventures, new interests and
a strong sense of contentment in this magical place. Cremation has taken
place. A celebration of Stewart's life will be held on Gabriola in July. If
friends wish, donations in his memory can be made to GALTT (Gabriola Land
Trails Trust www.galtt.ca ), LITE (Local Investment Toward Employment
www.lite.mb.ca ) or the Canadian Cancer Society. He died too soon and too
fast. He will live on secure in the hearts of all of us who loved him so
dearly. 247124
