LENORE WILLIMENT (nee BURDETT) Beatrice Lenore Williment peacefully passed away, surrounded by her family, on September 26, 2014 in Ashern, MB at the age of 63. She was predeceased by her father Joe, mother Fjola, infant son Ronald, father and mother-in-law Frank and Stella. Mom will be forever loved, treasured and missed by son Bob (Rose) and grandsons Dylan (Azeena) and Tyler; son Joe (Mirella); their father Robert; siblings Brian, Carol, Anita, Suzie, Pat, Cindy and their spouses, along with numerous nieces, nephews, cousins, Andy and friends. She will be remembered for her love of life and the love she had for her family who meant the world to her. Mom loved to laugh and enjoyed hosting friends for get-togethers. She was known for her love of Elvis, her funky earrings, purses and shoes! Mom had a large group of friends from those she met through the businesses she and dad owned, the jobs she held at Manitoba Natural Resources in Falcon Lake and, most recently, Manitoba Liquor Mart in Winnipeg. In keeping with Mom's wishes, cremation has taken place and there will be no formal service held. A private gathering celebrating and honouring Lenore's life will be held at a later date. Special thanks to our family and friends for their support during this difficult time. Your calls and well wishes will never be forgotten. We would also like to thank the doctors, nurses and staff of the St. Boniface Hospital and Lakeshore General Hospital for the wonderful care given to our Mom. Also to John and Karen Gray of Arnason Funeral Home. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in memory of Lenore to CancerCare Manitoba, 1160 - 675 McDermot Ave., Winnipeg, MB R3E 0V9 or to the Winnipeg Humane Society, 45 Hurst Way, Winnipeg, MB R3T 0R3.

Condolences & Memories (21 entries)

  • So sorry to hear about Lenore's passing. She was such a vibrant fun loving person, who gave so much in family, work, business and community. Our thoughts are with you all. - Posted by: Ron & Maria Obodzinski (Friends) on: Oct 16, 2014

  • So much to thank you for Lenore. You reinforced love into my heart when I thought I had no one. You were my saviour when I was 15 years old and you were only 21. Robert & you were so young yourselves and you opened your arms & took me in. You helped me through thick & thin and laughed at the silliest things. "life is too short" you'd say. If you can't laugh at yourself....then who can you laugh at? I look back at the times we shared laughter and smile because you didn't just share your laughter, you would have us in stitches until we peed our pants and tears were streaming down our faces. I know time will heal and my heart won't feel so heavy but right now......I MISS YOU SO MUCH!!! Love you, Suzie xxx - Posted by: Suzanne Burdett (Sister) on: Oct 10, 2014

  • Our deepest sympathy goes out to the family. Lenore was always such a joy to be around, with her smiles and laughter. She could run a restaurant like no other, as her many customers would attest to, from the Parkview Inn in Hadashville, to the West Hawk Inn, which her and Bob took to new levels. Her personality and work ethic were an inspiration to us and many others who had the opportunity to know and work with her. - Posted by: Paul and Marg Duncan (Friends) on: Oct 09, 2014

  • Our deepest condolences to Joe and his whole family for their loss. Losing a mother is always so tragic; although it was nice to hear that she was surrounded by her loving family when she passed on. May her laughter and spirit live on in her children and grandchildren. Rest in peace. - Posted by: Silvana and Ennio Occhiuto (Friend to son Joe) on: Oct 06, 2014

  • LENORE, LENORE... I'm laughing and crying at the same time as I sit here remembering all the funny stories you and Bob shared with all your frineds, two in particlar I'll never forget, the long light story when Fosters had a fire and the walk off the bedroom loft. We loved you Lenore, and life was better off because of your fun loving nature and the joy you spread to all who were with you. Peace be with you now and those who mourn your passing. May the grieving of her sons Bob Jr. and Joey be mingled with happy memories and life lessons taught by such a wonderful mom, she always loved her boys. - Posted by: Donna Smith (Friend) on: Oct 01, 2014

  • Lenore it seems that I have known you all my life but I had the privilege to get to know you even better and enjoy your company very much over this past year. I have such respect for you as you faced this horrible disease. You truly have showed me how to face the biggest challenges head on. I know there are two twin boys that loved you and respected you as I do. They will miss your kind words, your wisdom, your understanding and your cheering at their hockey games. I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for the joy you brought to Andy and our family this past year. I just wish your time together could have been much longer. You have left a very big void in many lives. Your time on earth was too short, I know there are many who were not ready to say goodbye. My deepest condolences to Bob and Joe and their respective families. Keep your memories close to your heart and take a moment to celebrate your Mom's life. She did not want us to mourn. She was truly a very strong and wonderful lady. Lenore I will miss your infectious laugh and you singing along to country classics. Rest in peace sunshine, until we meet again. - Posted by: Myrna Little (Friend) on: Oct 01, 2014

  • I worked with Lenore at Falcon Lake. I remember one day in particular I got to work with her. We were driving the club car and it started to rain really hard, we couldn't see a thing, so we stopped at one of the kitchenettes in the camp ground laughing our heads off, we were soaked, we made some rain jackets out of garbage bags. I am glad we got to know each other, you were always so happy (even when we were soaked). You were a good friend, you will be missed. Rest in Peace - Posted by: Nicole Mullins (Friend) on: Sep 30, 2014

  • To Robert (Bob Sr); and all your Family:... My Heart, in Empathy, and with Deepest Sympathy; goes out to you all, at this time of great Sadness.....So glad I got to see you the other day Robert, and, at least give you (I hope) a wee bit of support. I can't say, "I know how you feel" because we all suffer that pain somewhere along the line, but, always the pain is the same; but, different "unique" to each one of us. May you find comfort in your "Family's Love" & "Wonderful Memories" of "Lenore" Sincerely sent...Janet Jundt, and, Ron McCurdy - Posted by: Janet Jundt (Friend of Family) on: Sep 30, 2014
