MARY HELEN GRACE ADAMSON (JAMIESON) Grace passed away peacefully with her family at her side at Third Crossing Manor in Gladstone, Wednesday, January 27, 2016 at the age of 99 years. She was born in Sceptre, Sask. on September 9, 1916 and in late October 1920, the family moved back to the farm at Ogilivie, MB. She took her schooling at Blake and Gladstone schools. Mom met her future husband George Adamson through singing in the United Church Choral Society and they were married October 31, 1942. They farmed and raised a family together till George's passing in March of 1978. Mom was very active in the community enjoying many years of golf and curling, being made honourary member of both clubs. Mom was a member of the Gladstone United Church and sang in the choir for many years. Mom was a leader of C.G.I.T. and Explorers and very involved with the Legion and I.O.D.E. organizations. One of her biggest loves and sources of pride was her beautiful flower and vegetable garden. Roses were her specialty and many of her winning exhibits at the Gladstone Fair featured her roses. Mom loved entertaining friends and family and many a great time was spent around the dining room table. Knitting was one of Mom's passions and all of her children, and many others, have been seen wearing her hand knit sweaters. As much as Mom loved her pastimes, the most important thing in her life was her family, she gave them unconditional love and her door was always open to each and every one of us. Left to cherish her memory are her children, Helen, Lynda (Len), Robert (Cindy); grandchildren, Michael, Drew, Trish, Karl, Lesley, Blair (Crystal), Lori (Jamie), and Jody; great-grandchildren, Jack, Brett, Leah, Jared, Justin and little Luke. Mom was predeceased by her parents John and Olive Jamieson, two brothers, Herbert and Murray; sister Edie, brother-in-law Jamie and son-in-law Henry. She taught the true meaning of kindness and generosity and also to love unconditionally and with intensity. Our family joins together to thank the Medical Staff and everyone at Third Crossing Manor for all their kindness, care and compassion shown towards our Mom. If friends so desire, memorial donations may be made to the Gladstone Golf Club, Box 91, Gladstone, MB R0J 0T0 or to the Gladstone Curling Club, Box 688, Gladstone, MB R0J 0T0.
