Send Flowers to the Family Offer Condolences or MemoryANTOINETTE ROSALIE BUGERA (REICHERT) October 6, 1943 to October 23, 2017 It is with great regret we announce the passing of Antoinette Bugera on Monday, October 23, 2017. She went to St. Boniface Hospital to deal with her scleroderma illness. After being admitted, she suffered a fall resulting in a broken hip, exacerbating her situation. Unable to operate, she succumbed four days later with family members at her side. Antoinette will be sadly missed by her husband Leonard Bugera; daughter Krista Deighton (Ernie Futros); brother George Reichert (Theresa); nephew Don of Calgary; sister-in-law and brother-in-law Judy and Allen Hamm; nephews Russ (Sonja) of Rochester, MN, Jaret (Kelsey) of Kamloops, BC, Graham (Angie) of Vancouver, BC, Neal (Taran) of Australia; great-nieces and great-nephews; many great-aunts and great-uncles and cousins; and best friend June (Dave) Riddell. Antoinette was predeceased by her father, Michael, on January 2, 1986 and her mother, Julia, on February 7, 2006. Antoinette was born on October 6, 1943, in Winnipeg and spent her childhood years growing up in East St. Paul. Shortly after marrying Leonard in 1966 and having Krista in 1967 the family moved to Transcona and later to North Kildonan where they spent many happy years. Antoinette worked in the Transcona School Division as a Librarian at Arthur Day Junior High until her retirement. Antoinette enjoyed camping, knitting, gardening, bowling and travelling. Her camping road trips allowed her to see much of Canada and the United States. Many family members were beneficiaries of her knitted slippers. Her passion for gardening was particularly evident in the beautiful flowers which adorned her yard. Her travels took her to such destinations as Hawaii, Italy, Hong Kong, Thailand and the Caribbean. After retirement Antoinette enjoyed spending her winters in Mesa, Arizona, for the last 15 years. She enjoyed getting away from the cold Winnipeg winters which helped ease her scleroderma. The family would like to thank the caring staff at Concordia Hospital for their compassion and support during this difficult time. A memorial service will be held on Saturday, November 4, 2017, at 1:00 p.m. at Cropo Funeral Chapel, 1442 Main Street. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Scleroderma Association of Manitoba, 105 - 386 Broadway, Winnipeg, MB R3C 3R6.

I have many fond memories of Mrs B. I was so fortunate to get to travel with the family when Krista and I were growing up, to the States and countless camping trips. I’ve always cherished those memories. She was a very strong lady. My deepest sympathy to all who knew her and who will feel the loss. - Posted by: Kristal Bortoluzzi (Friend of the family) on: Oct 30, 2017

I am so sorry to read about Antoinette's passing. We worked (and had coffee together) during all our years at Arthur Day. I always admired how she took her illness in stride and am happy to read that she was able to travel so much and to enjoy her winters in Arizona! I am sorry I won't be able to attend the service as I am in Mexico. Please accept my condolences. - Posted by: Judy Hall (Quail) (Former Colleague) on: Oct 28, 2017

I'm sorry for your loss Mr. Bugera, my thoughts are with you. Perhaps, a comforting thought at this difficult and sad time is, she's free of pain and distress. Murray Milligan (former MMC history student, circa '67) - Posted by: Murray Milligan (former MMC history student) on: Oct 28, 2017
