Juliette was predeceased by her parents, Yvonne (nee Provencher) and Jean-Baptiste Belanger, numerous brothers and sisters as well as her loving daughter Denise Yvonne Pearson. Juliette came to Manitoba from Quebec with her husband Rosaire Pearson where they began a new life together. They had three children together, Denise (Benny), Sylvia (Dennis), and Ronald (Michele). In 1989, Juliette married Leo Fillion and added seven more children to the family she loves so very much. Mom always welcomed everyone with open arms. She loved food-cooking, sharing and sampling off other plates. If you were lucky you tried one of her meat pies. Juliette enjoyed knitting socks and mittens for everyone, being outdoors and gardening. Juliette’s greatest pride was her family. She loved to brag about her 23 grandchildren, which is now 26. We are all going to miss her sense of humour, smile and infectious laugh. We would like to thank the staff of Kin Place Personal Care Home in Oakbank for taking care of Juliette. A family service will be held Monday, September 14, 2020, at Cropo Funeral Chapel 1442 Main Street in Winnipeg, Manitoba. ELLA IWASZCZUK Ella passed away on August 28, 2020, aged 90 years.

Remaining to forever cherish his memory are his daughters, Debra and Joanne (Loren Dyck); son Brian (Naomi); grandchildren, Laura (Justin Thomas), David, and Christen; and great-granddaughters, Allison Thomas and Kayleigh Thomas. He was predeceased by his wife Anne of 53 years in 2010. Ed, the youngest of eight children, was born in Arnes, MB. It was here on the family farm that he developed his strong work ethic. From cutting wood to fixing machinery, Ed quickly developed the skills he would use later in life. However, farm life was not all hard work. Ed took time to enjoy dancing, and so it would make sense that he would meet his future wife at Fraserwood Hall. A year after their vows were exchanged, he convinced his new bride to move to Toronto where he would start Canadian Crane Rentals with his brother Louis. The business grew from a single crane to several in a short time and was credited with the crane work in the construction of The Toronto City Hall, one of the city’s most distinctive landmarks. Nine years later he and Anne would return to Winnipeg with three children and he would continue his career as a heavy equipment operator. As the years passed and as his children moved away from home, Ed once again had the desire to go into business for himself, this time as a custom home builder. After tough times fell upon the housing industry, Ed once again turned to construction work. As a highly skilled operator, he often ran equipment that no one else would or could. He loved the older machinery such as Draglines, also known as dirty circle work, which earned him the nickname "DC Outlaw". His final years in construction were spent with Nelson River and Kraft Construction. Ed also kept busy with hobbies. He could often be found building something, however, his true passion was writing. He was accomplished in both the field of music and poetry. One of the songs he wrote titled "Lynda Morann" received airplay Canada- wide on country music stations. More recently, his poem "Gimli" took first place at the Icelandic Festival in Gimli. His submission was recognized as far away as Iceland. To his grandchildren he was always known as "Papa Ed". He dearly loved the time he was able to spend with them. The family wishes to thank the nurses and staff at River Park Gardens for their outstanding care in the three years that Ed was with them and for their compassion in the final days of his life. The funeral service will be held on Saturday, September 12, 2020, at 10:00 a.m. at Springs Church, 595 Lagimodiere Blvd. Interment will follow at All Saints Cemetery, 4535 Main Street. Pallbearers will be Brian Sinkarsin, David Sinkarsin, Shawn Luky and Jesse Michalski. Honorary pallbearer will be Debra Sinkarsin. Due to COVID19, attendance numbers are restricted. Please RSVP Naomi Sinkarsin at 204-510-9698. A live-feed link will also be provided to those that cannot attend.

She chose hair dressing as an early profession, with her artistic and creative abilities when she retired, she began making beautiful Reborn dolls. Evelyn had a great sense of humour and style and was kind- hearted, what gave her the most joy was spending time with family. She lived in many places due to being brought up as a Military brat, as well as Military spouse, her happy place was with Tim and their three dogs in the back yard which she referred to as her park. She enjoyed her park even more when her children, grandchildren and sister came for visits. Her family wants to thank Dr. Marcus Langhans, medical professionals and support staff in Comox, BC for their compassion and superior caregiving.
