Send Flowers to the Family Offer Condolences or MemoryDORA (DJOEKE) MEYER BYLE It is with great sadness we announce the passing of our dear mother, Dora (Djoeke) Meyer Byle on October 22, 2012. She will be dearly missed by her children, Carol (Gary) Leite, Diane (Merritt) Stephenson, Tom (Karen) Byle, Shirley (Bill) Palidwor, Donna (Monte) Beerbower, Peter (Deborah) Byle, Laura (Ron) Kolesar, Betty (John) Craig. She has 15 grandchildren, 16 great-grandchildren, and two great-great-grandchildren. She was predeceased by her husband, David in 1997 and her first grandchild, Kathleen Beach in 1984. She is survived by her brothers Peter and Leo Meyer, and sisters Annie Armstrong, Wilma Devos, Katherine Kramer, and Laura Feeleus. Dora was born in Zuiwolde, Drenthe, the Netherlands on March 28, 1922. She immigrated to Canada in 1929 with her family, and they settled in Winnipeg. The Meyer family were market gardeners in the St. Vital area. She married David Byle in 1941, and after living in Burnaby, BC for five years, they moved back to Manitoba and settled in Navin where they raised their eight children. Mom enjoyed spending time with her children and grandchildren, cooking, baking, doing preserves, knitting, reading and listening to music. She was very intelligent, well read and insightful and loved board games, word puzzles and discussing current events. Mom had the gift of hospitality and there were often many guests at the dinner table. Everyone fondly remembers Mom's rhubarb pies and other home-baked treats. Mom's life was especially a life of faith in God and her prayer was that all her children could know a close relationship with God. She lived her faith, cherished scripture and demonstrated love to everyone. We would like to thank the staff at Golden Links Lodge for their loving kindness and care for mom these last nine years. Memorial donations may be made to The Golden Links Lodge, 2280 St. Mary's Rd., Winnipeg, MB R2N 3Z6. The funeral will be held at Green Acres Funeral Chapel on Saturday, October 27. Viewing will be at 1:30 p.m. and the funeral service will be at 2:00 p.m. GREEN ACRES Funeral Home and Cemetery (204) 222-3241 Condolences may be sent to www.greenacresfuneralhome.com

Dora and Dave were our neighbours for many years in Springfield. They were Grandparents to our three children, Aaron, Alex and Nicole; and a Godsend for Chuck and I. The kids all fondly remember their oatmeal and coke treat. The boys enjoyed racing around the basement in the little red car. Dora made an awesome strawberry/rubarb dessert. She, like her husband were such caring and loving people, and I thank God for bringing us all together. Love the Rodiers - Posted by: rodier family (neighbours) on: Oct 25, 2012
