ROSE-HELENE BOURGEOIS (MILLETTE) April 2, 1923 - October 29, 2015 Surrounded by her family, mom passed away peacefully at St. Boniface Hospital at the age of 92. Mom was predeceased by her beloved husband Euclide Bourgeois; her parents Honorius and Marie-Rose Millette and her granddaughter Catherine Bourgeois. Rose Helene leaves to mourn her eight children; Yolande (Lynn) Madsen, Alain (Marianne), Rheanne (Brian) McMullan, Lydianne (Alfred) Deschambault, Remi (Sheryl), Arcel (Lisa), Renelle (Laurent) Bohemier, Raynald (Laurie).

She married Euclide Bourgeois in 1947 and farmed in the Storthoaks and Bellegarde district until they moved to Winnipeg in 1975. Mom was a founding member of "Le Club Vive La Joie" where she gathered weekly spending time with cherished friends. Mom's favourite pastimes were playing cards and bingo but her greatest joy was when her family gathered for simple Sunday dinners or for special celebrations. Mom leaves a legacy of profound faith and deep love for her Father in heaven. She has comforted, encouraged and inspired us all with her tender heart and gentle spirit. The family would like to express heartfelt thanks and appreciation to the staff of 6A West at St. Boniface General Hospital for the tender love, compassion and care mom received during her short stay at the hospital.
