She will be greatly missed by her daughter Donalda (Ross) McRae, grandchildren Debra, Murray (Char), Bonny (Wayne) and Terry. Great-Grandchildren Ashley (Kris), Whitney (Justin), Meagan, Brandi (Tyler), Sara (Ethan) and great-great-grandchildren Eden, Reagan and Brynlee.

Mum was predeceased by her Father Victor, Mother Kate and stepfather Robert, her husband Donald, son Hughie, sister Maja, brothers Alder, Robbie, Lloyd, Dave and Dan. Mum was born in Poplar Point, MB. She attended school in numerous places and ended at Lake Francis which she referred to as "God's Country". Mum started work at a young age for Mr. and Mrs. Fleury where she was treated like family. Later she went to work in Winnipeg until she married Donald MacMillan on October 31, 1933 and settled on the old MacMillan farm. Due to Donald's failing health they moved in 1974 to a house trailer in her daughters yard where Mum stayed until she moved to Tudor House in Selkirk in 2010 and then on to Rosewood Personal Care Home in Stonewall where she had many friends and visitors. The family wishes to thank the staff of Tudor House and Rosewood Personal Care Home for their ongoing care and attention to Mum's needs. Memorial service will be held Friday, October 3, 2014 at 1:00 p.m. at MacKenzie Funeral Home Stonewall. Grace cherished her friends and relatives. We would be proud to call them all her honorary pallbearers. In lieu of flowers the family would like donations made in her honour to Meadow Lea United church.
