Mrs. Margaret "Peggy" Shield March 17, 1912 - April 18, 2004 SHIELD - (Peggy) Margaret Robertson, March 7, 1912 April 18, 2004. Peggy passed away peacefully on Sunday morning at the Glenwarren Care Facility having recently celebrated her 92nd birthday. Members of her family were with her. Peggy was born in Wishaw, Scotland in 1912, immigrating to Canada with her family in 1920. She grew up on a homestead north of Athabasca, Alberta and came to Victoria as a young woman during the War years. Here she met her husband, Tom Shield, and they made their home in Victoria for what was to be close to 60 years. Peggy was very involved in various aspects of her community over the years, from her days as the Victory Bond Clerk at the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce during the 1940''s to her work in fund raising for the Red Cross in later years. She bowled in the Women's League at the Town & Country Lanes for many years, was an avid member of her bridge club, enjoyed traveling, especially by cruse ship to Hawaii and Alaska, and spent many a fine day "puttering" in her wild and wonderful garden. Perhaps Peggy's greatest love was her flower arranging. She was an active member of the Victoria Flower Arrangers Guild until well into her seventies. Peggy designed beautiful arrangements that always adorned her home and, when entered in competitions, were invariably prize winners. She became fascinated with creating miniature arrangements and taught this art form through the Guild for a number of years. She also served as a judge for the Flower Arranging competitions at the Sannichton Fair many times. Peggy shared the bounty of her heart, home and garden and cared for her Mother, who was in ill health, for a number of years. Peggy was predeceased by her husband, Tom, in 1999, her brother Jack Stirling in 1945, her sister Jean Cocke in 2001 and her sister-in-law Ruth Stirling in 2002. Peggy is loving remembered by her sister Pat Richards and her brother David Stirling. She is also remembered by Pat's children, David, Trish, and Janis, and their families, and David's daughter Trish and her family, for whom Peggy will always be a very special Auntie P. Peggy will also be missed by her loyal and long time friends.The family would like to express sincere thanks to the staff at the Glenwarren for the warmth, care and support they provided Peggy over the past year and especially for the care given her in her last days with us. A memorial service celebrating Peggy's long and full life will be held on Monday, April 26, at 1:00 p.m. in the Sands Funeral Chapel, 1803 Quadra Street, Victoria, B.C

Elle y passera sa jeunesse pour ensuite s’établir à Haywood, Manitoba sur une ferme avec son époux Paul Dubé. Elle avait tout les talents nécessaires pour une jeune fermière : entre autres – couturière et cuisinière hors pair. Toujours proche de sa famille, elle aimait recevoir de la visite, jouer une partie de cartes ou le Bingo suivit des chansons à répondre pour terminer la soirée. Tout ça avec un grand sourire et une bonne humeur sans fin. Une maman généreuse pour sa famille, elle vient s’installer sur la rue Eugénie à St. Boniface avec son mari en 1972. Pendant leur retraite ils ont pu voyager. Les dernières années furent remplies d’activités avec ses nombreuses amies à l’Accueil Colombien. C’est maintenant le temps du doux repos chère Maman, chère Memère. On te souhaite un beau voyage dans ce magnifique jardin de paradis rempli de fleurs, oiseaux et d’animaux que tu aimais tellement.

Born in La Broquerie, Manitoba September 1, 1914, she spent her youth there after which she settled on a farm in Haywood, Manitoba with husband Paul Dubé. She had all the critical skills required of a young farmwife : being an excellent cook and seamstress to name but two. Very close to her family, she loved a house full of visitors, a good card game or Bingo; capping it off with a rousing sing-along and always with a beautiful smile and gracious mood. A doting mother, she came to live on Eugénie St. in St. Boniface in 1972 with husband Paul and they did some traveling together in their retirement days. Mom’s last years were filled with numerous activities with her many friends at l’Accueil Colombien. It’s time for a peaceful rest dear Mom, Grandma. We wish you a beautiful stroll in a paradise full of flowers, birds and the animals you so enjoyed. We love you, we miss you.

Nina Hopper March 13, 1925 - March 08, 2004 It is with great sorrow that we announce the peaceful passing of our cherished mother and grandmother with family by her side. Mom was predeceased by her husband of 30 years, David William; their beloved daughter Barbara; her parents, Gladys and Melville; her sister Jane; and her brothers Arthur and Ted. She will be remembered with much love by her son David (Elaine, Alex, Neal and Katie); by her daughter Patty Hobson (Bruce, grandchildren Steven and Jennifer); sisters Frances, Rhoda, Sally and families; as well as other family and friends. Nina was a very positive person who always looked on the bright side of things. She respected the dignity of each person she met and always encouraged people to do their best. She faced life’s adversities with grace and good humour. Mom tried to be fair, honest, and non-judgmental. With empathy and intuitive understanding she offered others kindness and compassion. She was a good friend. Nina dedicated her life to caring for those she loved, to teaching values by example and to improving the lives of others. We, her children, were blessed with unconditional love. Nina got involved in the PTA at her children’s school, later the Band Parents Association, was instrumental in the creation of a neighbourhood park, worked for the NDP party, and belonged to Toastmistress Club and Daughters of the Nile, SPHINX No.116. Mom had a wonderful memory, was the family historian, and told stories to her grandchildren laced with humour, drama and cookies. Nina had the eye of an artist and the heart of a poet. She never lost her child’s sense of wonder at the beauty of the natural world. She was a natural teacher and loved to involve others, especially her children and grandchildren, in observing the wonders of God’s creations, particularly astronomy, the weather, the birds of the air and the flowers of the fields. In later years, Mom took great pleasure and pride in her grandchildren, and enjoyed the time spent with them immensely. True to her nature, she created beauty for others, a colourful garden of flowers, or a handmade blanket, personalized for each new child in the family. SHE WALKS IN BEAUTY She walks in beauty, like the night Of cloudless climes and starry skies; And all that’s best of dark and bright Meet in her aspect and her eyes: Thus mellow’d to that tender light Which heaven to gaudy day denies. One shade the more, one ray the less, Had half impair’d the nameless grace Which waves in every auburn tress, Or softly lightens o’er her face; Where thoughts serenely sweet express How pure, how dear their dwelling place. And on that cheek, and o’er that brow, So soft, so calm, yet eloquent, The smiles that win, the tints that glow, But tell of days in goodness spent, A mind at peace with all below, A heart whose love is innocent. (From: Lord Byron) The family would like to thank all those who supported our mother throughout her later years. Special thanks to the ladies at the St. Vital Library, the Rosewood Village staff and the residents of Juniper House for making the last year of Mom's life pleasant and comfortable, and the staff of the Victoria General Hospital for their compassion and care. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Butterfly Conservatory, Friends of the Assiniboine Park Conservatory, 15 Conservatory Drive, Winnipeg, MB R3P 2N5. Funeral will be held on Saturday, March 13, 2004 at 3:00 p.m. at Chapel Lawn Funeral Home, 4000 Portage Ave. Arrangements entrusted to: CHAPEL LAWN FUNERAL HOME CEMETERY AND CREMATORIUM 885-9715.

Mrs. Vila "Bertha" Bertha May Richter (née Lawson) October 20, 1933 - April 13, 2004 Vila Bertha May Richter (Lawson) October 20, 1933 - April 13, 2004 With great sadness we announce the sudden and peaceful passing of our loving Mom (Granny Bert) at the young age of 70. Predeceased by her husband Edward Richter (1985), father Robert Lawson (1974) and mother Cora Kershaw (2001). Mom is survived by her son Kirk Richter, daughters Diane Holloway (Larry) and Darlene Therrien (Perry); brother Bruce Lawson (Edmonton) and sister Joan Bridges (Victoria). Granny Bert is survived by three grandchildren, Mitchell and Bridgette Holloway and Garrett Therrien. Mom is also survived by numerous “Richter” and “Lawson” family relatives and close friends Keith and Lorraine Partridge. Mom was born in Winnipeg and moved to the Cowichan Valley as a baby. She attended Duncan High School and her first job was at Eaton’s mail order office. Bertha met Eddie, the love of her life, in the early 1950’s and danced the night away to the “Tennessee Waltz”. They were married July 29, 1955 in Duncan and built their first home on Cassino Road, where they raised a family of three children. Mom enjoyed family life with all of its traditions. She was famous for her canning, apple pie and there were always fresh cookies when we came home from school. Mom participated fully in her children’s lives including “Mom’s Taxi Service”. While raising a family, her leisure activity was Tuesday night 5-Pin bowling with her friends. Summers were spent swimming and picnicking on the Chemainus River (you know who prepared and packed all of the wonderful food) and on the beach at Parksville. In 1976, she began working at the Cowichan District Hospital in the laundry and housekeeping departments, retiring in 1995 from the Personal Laundry at Cairnsmore Place. Following the sorrow of losing her husband, the birth of her grandchildren brought her great joy. Granny Bert was a devoted and loving grandmother. She supported the grandchildren in all of their activities; she was their biggest fan, cheering at the games and clapping at the performances. After the events there was always ice cream to celebrate. Throughout her life Mom generously volunteered her time to the Duncan O.A.P., the Cowichan Mammogram Clinic, the Heart and Stroke Foundation and the New Life Community Baptist Church. She enjoyed the company and laughter of her many friends in the Heart and Stroke Walking Club, the Duncan Women’s Connection and her Church. In the past decade traveling abroad with friends gave her many happy memories. She enjoyed flower gardening, crocheting, but most of all she enjoyed the Parksville beach, badminton, kickball and swimming in the Cowichan River with her grandchildren. There are places in our hearts that will forever treasure our Mom’s love and generosity, her joy and thoughtfulness. We will deeply miss our Mom (Granny Bert). A Celebration of Life will be held at the New Life Community Baptist Church, 1839 Tzouhalem Road, Duncan, BC, on Monday, April 26, 2004 at 1:00 pm. An afternoon tea will follow the Celebration at the Church. Donations to your favourite charity in lieu of flowers would be appreciated.
