Her sisters Mikie, Corkey (Alan), Leslie (Dale), Pat (Patrick), Sandy and Elaine, her brothers Fred, Alan (Moe), Tom (Kim), Duncan, David (Sue) and Rusty.

Honey and Doug finally settled permanently in Winnipeg in the spring of 1973 to raise their children. Honey was primarily a stay at home mom raising her children while Doug was out working and starting a new business. In her later years Honey loved spending time with her grandchildren and most recently her great-grandson. Called "Nanny" by her grandkids, she was there for them when ever needed and loved spoiling them. Honey will be sadly missed by all who knew her. At Honey's request no funeral will be held and a private family interment will take place Sunday, November 15, 2015 at Greenwood Memorial Cemetery in Carmen, MB. The family would like to thank the staff of the 6E Medicine ward and the ICU for their care and compassion during Honey's stay at St. Boniface Hospital.

My sister... As warm as a Christmas fire, as hot as the crackling ember. Sweet as the honey in Pooh's pot. As harsh as the wind in December. A lake in the autumn.. fishing we went. A turkey to cook.. and wine to be vent. So much did she say, and well did she listen. A blind eye to turn, as we went about our mission. Words of advice, vociferously shouted. While grinning inside, the sly deeds touted. Of all of us, she judged us fair For all of us, always there. Where time goes, I know not. Our feelings go, to a warm thought. Her days of beauty, now sadly spent. From all our hearts, now heaven sent.... I'll miss ya Sis ! - Posted by: Rusty (Littlest brother) on: Nov 28, 2015
