AILEEN PATRICIA SHOTTON (nee MCANULTY) With heavy hearts and great sadness we announce the passing of our beloved, Mom (Aileen). She passed away peacefully with her family at her side at the Convalescent Home of Winnipeg on April 23, 2014 at the age of 92. Left to mourn Mom's passing are her son Phil (Carol) of Calgary, daughters Heather (Rick), Judy and Debbie (Ted) of Calgary, and grandchildren Craig, Pam, Tanis, Darcy, Carman, Adrian and Chris, sisters Dorothy, Diana and brother Brian and several great-grandchildren. She was predeceased by her parents Caroline and Patrick, daughter Pat, sisters, Edith and Carole, grandson Troy and sons-in-law Ed and Glen. One word that best describes Mom is precious. She was beautiful inside and out. She will be sadly missed by all that knew her, especially at the Convalescent Home of Winnipeg which was her home for the past three years where she was often heard asking "are we having fun yet"? Mom was born in Winnipeg in 1922, then moved to Flin Flon with her family when she was a teenager. There she met and married Phillip Shotton. They lived in Creighton, Saskatchewan and had five children. She was a stay at home Mom until they separated in 1964 and Mom, with the three youngest daughters moved to Winnipeg. Mom worked for the Winnipeg Free Press and the Federal Government (Veterans Affairs and Labour Canada). She retired in 1987. Mom was a very kind, gentle, thoughtful, social and good natured person always with a smile on her face. Everyone who met her loved her. She had a great sense of humour and loved novelty items. During our teenage years our friends loved spending time at our house because Mom was young at heart and was welcoming to all. Mom was always busy. She loved knitting, crocheting, music, animals (real and plush) and doing jigsaw and crossword puzzles and spent countless hours researching the genealogy of our family. Mom never sat idle; she had a computer years before any of her kids did. She is re-united with her daughter Pat and Mom is now at peace and in a better place. Thank you Mommy for loving us and being a special part of our lives. We love you, miss you and will keep you in our hearts and memories forever. Thank you to the staff at the Convalescent Home of Winnipeg for taking such good care of our precious Mom and especially the compassion and care in the last few days of her life. Flowers are gratefully declined but we know that Mom would be honoured to have donations made in her memory to the Convalescent Home of Winnipeg or the Winnipeg Humane Society. In keeping with Mom's wishes, there will be no funeral service. A private interment will take place at a later date. Grief is the price we pay for love VOYAGE FUNERAL HOME 668-3151

I will always remember my sleepovers as a little girl on Robinson St in Winnipeg. Grandma use to do artex paintings, rug hooking as well as playing Canasta with me. In more recent years there were late nights playing Rumikub at my parents house on Dalhousie Dr in Winnipeg. There were some days in the last few years that she was forgetting who I was which made me keep my distance. I couldn't handle the thought of her not knowing me. I will miss her so much that words can't express what her passing means to me. Forever in my heart and memories is where I will keep you, until we meet again. xoxo - Posted by: Tanis Langille (Rosteski) (Granddaughter) on: Apr 26, 2014

Heather, Rick & Judy, My sincerest sympathies on the loss of your mom and mom in law. Though you’ve experience different degrees of grief as her life changed with time – now has come the final good bye. The final knowing that she physically is no longer. Yes you have experienced a lot of changes and have adapted to however it affected you and your family members – now the grief is has an end. With the last breath she has breathed – there is a mixture of sorrow & joy. A wonderment of why and a final sigh of relief. A heart over-flowing with sadness and love. A mind confused of what to do now. The matriarch, the giver of birth is no longer. Tears are the best release of grief. They make our face puffy and red. They come and wreck our liner and mascara. They create the most interesting streaks in our blush. Then they drip down onto our chest and head towards our heart. There they run dry and disappear – having accomplished what they set out to do…to let everyone know there is pain in our heart. May this time be calm and peaceful for each of you. Jeannine & Ray. - Posted by: Jeannine (Heather and Judy's Mary Kay consultant) on: Apr 26, 2014
