PATRICIA EMILY DEALLY It is with extreme sadness that we announce the sudden passing of our mom - Patricia Emily Deally (nee Griffith) on May 27, 2018, at the age of 82. Mom was predeceased by her husband, Donald on December 22, 2017, her parents, Garnet and Isabel (McIntyre) Griffith, as well as younger sisters, Gail Wilson (2018) and Linda Wright (2011). Keeping her memory alive are children, David and Melissa of Whistler, BC; Douglas of Winnipeg; Donald and Michelle of Winnipeg and Nancy and Sandy Slade of Burlington, ON; along with grandchildren, Kathryn, Joseph, Spencer, Nicole, William, Matthew, Samantha and Connor. She will also be deeply missed by her nieces, nephews, family members, and many friends. Mom was born in Winnipeg in 1936, grew up in St Vital in a home now occupied by son Douglas. Graduating from the Winnipeg General Hospital nursing class of 57B in 1957, Mom started her nursing career that took her from Winnipeg to Grafton, ND, spending most of her career in the hospital nursery. She returned to Winnipeg, married Dad in 1958 and were together until his passing in 2017; a marriage that spanned 59 years. Mom and Dad had their children, who were fortunate to have the most wonderful parents any child could imagine. Mom loved to spend time with her children and grandchildren and enjoyed her time with Harrow United Church, their book club, as well as many social events. While raising her four children, Mom spent many years volunteering at the Winnipeg Health Sciences Centre, not surprisingly in the hospital nursery. She also looked forward to her annual nursing reunions and in later years, her new friends at her residence on Boulton Bay. Her favourite events were family 'Wing Nights' at a local pub; spending time with her grandchildren, brunch, movie nights and family road trips. She was patient, caring, loving beyond belief and lived by the words 'when handed lemons, make lemonade'. She helped create a large family that put love and life above all, and most importantly, instilled in her children that we should try the hardest we can and enjoy whatever we chose to pursue. We have lost a loving, patient and fantastic mom and heaven gained a beautiful Angel. Cremation has taken place in accordance of Mom's wishes, and a Celebration of Life will be held on Saturday, June 23 at 2:00 p.m. at Thomson "In the Park" Funeral Home 1291 McGillivray Boulevard. Because this is a celebration of Mom's (Pat's) life, the family invites attendees to ignore convention, and wear bright colours. In lieu of flowers, a donation to Plan International Canada or Because I am a Girl is appreciated to continue her memory.

  • To the Pat Deally Family: Our family extend our sincerest condolences for the loss of your beloved mother and grandmother. Pat was a beautiful soul and so very kind, always concerned about others and seeing the good in everyone. One of four young nursing graduates in 1957 including Pat, we ventured down to Grafton North Dakota to apply our newly found skills. It was a great adventure that strengthened our friendship through the years. Although miles kept us apart in latter years, we always kept in touch via e-mails, phone calls and cards. I will miss my dear friends so much. We will keep her family she was so proud of in our prayers. Sincerely Marian & Harvey Mazinke Kelowna - Posted by: Marian & Harvey Mazinke (Friends) on: Jun 11, 2018

  • We have known Pat and Don for many years as I worked with Don in Air Traffic Control in Winnipeg. We moved to Vancouver years ago but kept in touch with them and always met them for lunch or dinner when we got back to Winnipeg for visits. They were a great couple and good friends. It was a shock to learn of Don's passing previously and a shock again to now learn that Pat is also gone. Many good memories and they will both be sadly missed. Sincere condolences to the family.

  • I was very lucky to gain Pat as a cousin when she married my cousin Don. This 15 year old girl was thrilled and honoured to be invited to be a bridesmaid. I have many very happy memories of times spent together both in Winnipeg and more recently in Burlington when she was visiting with Nancy and Sandy, We would make the trip from Ottawa to spend some time with them all. Pat was always cheerful and very giving of her love. She will be sadly missed - Posted by: Judie McSkimmings (Cousin) on: Jun 09, 2018
