LEGROS, Bridget Viola 2009-10-31 Bridget Viola Legros age 77 years, resident of Hudson Avenue, went home to be with her Lord & Savior on Thursday October 29, 2009 after an extremely courageous battle with cancer. Born in Port Arthur, she initially worked in a bakery until she married the love of her life Richard, and then focused on raising their three daughters as an amazing stay at home mother. She spent many wonderful years together with Richard and they were excited when they fulfilled their dream of renovating their camp into a beautiful home at Barnum Lake and retired there until Richard‚s illness brought them back into Thunder Bay. Mom was a lover of all animals & birds and fed them all at the lake. She also enjoyed helping many people who were in need without them finding out who actually assisted them. We, as her daughters have learned so much from her. She never raised her voice but she showed us the good in everything & everybody & very seldom complained. She loved the Lord with all of her heart and shared that with all of us. Bridget also was a wonderful artist & loved to paint and create amazing items. Our homes are adorned with her works of art and even when she was so ill, she made a gorgeous gazebo painted with beautiful roses to hold her granddaughter‚s wedding envelopes & painted several paintings for family members. Her paintings are held in different parts of the world & we will all treasure them. Bridget is survived by and will be greatly missed by her daughters Marilyn (Dave) Burnside, Debbie (Ruben) Morrison all of Thunder Bay & Wendy (Dan) Penko of Nanaimo, B.C. (enroute). She is also survived by her five grandchildren Jennifer (Rob) Morton, Michelle (Jamie) Rose, Shawn & Matthew McKenzie and Janine Penko (Nanaimo, B.C.). Also surviving are 2 great-grandchildren Jasmine McKenzie & Shane Raycraft whom she dearly loved. Bridget also leaves to mourn, her sister Margaret Hencher (Pennsylvania, USA), sisters-in-law Doris Magus, Rosella Swaluk, Jessie Legros and brother-in-law Andy (Betty) Legros. She is also survived by many nieces, nephews, cousins and numerous relatives in Sweden, Finland & Denmark. Predeceased by her husband Richard Legros (Dec. 25, 1999), parents Sanfrid & Vivi Finholm, father-in-law Hector Legros, brothers-in-law Don Legros, Gordie Legros & Jack Magus. There will be a private service for immediate family members as per Bridget‚s wishes. In lieu of flowers, memorials to the Northern Cancer Fund, St. Joseph‚s Hospice Unit or to your favorite charity would be appreciated. Until we meet again.
