JANE ELIZA LEATHLEY HAY Sadly, on October 12, 2014, Jane Eliza Leathley Hay passed away in her husband's arms. She was greatly loved by her husband, Brian, her boys, Brent (Jessica), Adam (Jenna), Noah, stepsons Blair and Graeme; her dad Alan (Lynne); her brother Noel (Lori); her sisters Cindy and Hayley as well as her beloved dog, Latte. Jane will also be sadly missed by her mother-in-law Grace Hay and her brothers-in-law Jim, Rick, and Frank (Carolyn). She is now having a cuppa with her Mum, Joan, and her Nana. Jane was born in Kidlington, Oxford, England on September 1, 1961. She emigrated to Canada at the age of eight. Jane attended Isaac Brock and grew up in the West End of Winnipeg. Jane spent most of her life working in the restaurant industry, making many friends along the way. She went on to upgrade her education and entered a career in legal administration at Cassidy Ramsay. Jane's main focus was her family and she was devoted to planning family events, never missing a birthday, cooking, and her garden. She loved her music, and dancing down on the dock at Falcon Lake. Her laugh was infectious and you knew when Jane walked in a room. We're saying goodbye to the original Energizer Bunny. A Celebration of Jane's life will be held on Friday, October 17, 2014 at 3:00 p.m. at Neil Bardal Funeral Centre, 3030 Notre Dame Ave. (across from Brookside Cemetery). NEIL BARDAL FUNERAL CENTRE 204-949-2200 NEILBARDALINC.COM

  • What can you say about Miss Jane that hasn't already been said. Loving, caring, passion for life, infectious laugh, compassionate. I will forever miss our times on their deck on Fiddler talking, laughing, listening to her favorite music and of course picking on Brian. Miss Jane treated you as if you were a member of her family. You will be sadly missed my dear. Lovingly remembered by S D and Colleen. - Posted by: Dave Kirkpatrick (friend) on: Dec 10, 2014

  • When I first met Jane, it was back in the late 1990s in the adult education environment. The place was Stevenson-Britannia Adult Learning Centre. She graduated from there in 2001 the year before I did and the last time I had seen of her was at a reunion/retirement party for one of the staff in 2006. - Posted by: Kenneth Davis (Friend) on: Nov 20, 2014

I met Jane as well in the 70's good old Isaac Brock where true hearts never are gone as we all are REAL it's hard to explain we learned from each other and always took care of each other. School dances on Fridays don't think us girls never missed a song always givener like rock stars on the dance floor lol. Maybe A&W after?? Maybe that's what keeps us girls younger looking then our age lol, speaking of age did we really learn to act our age.? I can see Jane now rocking out to every song. She would be woo hoo and dancing with sweat and a red face with a big smile. No matter where you were if Jane was there you know your gonna be having fun just simply laughing then her laugh the laughter was tears of joy, sometimes just couldn't stop. Jane was caring to all she didn't mind getting her hands dirty she was involved get it done. cherished family and of course her friends.. life of good times is what I'm sure i can say on behalf of Isaac Brockers Jane loved us all. Fly with your beautiful PINK ANGEL WINGS. Friends are forever from Isaac and what we learned is the LOVE NEVER DIES ♡ I wish the family that all these wonderful words we speak about our friend Jane bring you comfort as she was respected for her love towards others her kindness her laugh her cute smile Yes Jane the word is AWESOME..

  • Jane came into our family's life when her family had just moved to Winnipeg from England. We lived a few houses away on Ashburn. Our families quickly became friends and I have many fond memories of dinners, BBq's, camping trips and get togethers.

My sincerest condolences to her family. - Posted by: Kim Adair (childhood friend) on: Oct 17, 2014

  • I met Jane and Brian at the Toronto airport on route to cayo coco in April 2013, it turned out we were staying in the same resort. I felt an immediate connection to both of them. I had so much fun with them. We all returned together again in Feb 2014. Jane loved cayo coco she easily made friends there everyone enjoyed her company. Although it was such a short time I knew her I felt she was meant to be in my life. Thank you Jane you will forever be in my heart. - Posted by: Bev Weil (friend) on: Oct 15, 2014

  • Jane, I will always remember the memories with you and your family at the house on Ashburn. You were always a positive and easy going person.

  • I will miss my mother more than I can begin to ever know. She was always such a loving, caring, giving person. She always put her family first (especially us boys) she really knew how to make me feel loved as a mothers. Mom and I had out differences while I was growing into the man I am today, and for that reason makes me continue to want to always strive for more. Cause heavens not a place you go when you die. It's the moment in life when you actually feel alive. So live in the moment. You never know when that moment will be taken away from you. Rest in paradise mom. Love Adam. - Posted by: Adam Barkhouse (Middle son ) on: Oct 15, 2014

  • Words are never adequate in moments like this, but please know that our hearts go out to you Brian, and family. Although we’d not seen Jane in many, many years – the memories of her are vivid, and some even seem like yesterday. “When you are sorrowful look again in your heart, and you shall see that in truth you are weeping for that which has been your delight.” Kahlil Gibran - Posted by: Pam & Curtis O'Brien (Friends) on: Oct 15, 2014
