SARAH FRANCIS (FRAN) DEVOS Far too soon our mother, grandmother and great-grandmother was taken unexpectedly from us on Saturday, July 5, 2014 at the age of 76 years. Fran left us peacefully at the place she loved most, her cabin at Lakeshore Heights. She will be missed every day by her children Cindy (Curtis) Shymko, Cory (Jodi) Kulchycki, Braden Kulchycki and Rick (Dana) Kulchycki; grandchildren Kyle (Rhea), Devon, Derek, Rael, Matthew, Jared and Oliva; great-grandchild Chase; brother Gerald (Glenda); sister-in-law Diane; stepchildren Kelly, Perry and Allison, and a great host of nieces, nephews and innumerable friends. Fran was predeceased by her parents Harris and Kathleen; husband Camille, and brothers, Dick, Jack and Lorie. Fran was born in Austin, Manitoba January 3, 1938. She moved to Winnipeg and raised her four children. Some of the things she loved were gardening, curling, and spending time with her family and friends. She started off her career as a secretary but spent the majority of her working life with the City of Winnipeg as a swimming instructor where she made many lifelong friends.
