DEBRA (DEB) JOANNE MCLEAN 1955 - 2018 The family of Deb McLean is saddened to announce her sudden but peaceful death on September 12, 2018 at the Grace Hospital, Winnipeg. Deb was predeceased by her parents, Norm and Bea McLean; her four aunts; two uncles; and her brother-in-law. She will be deeply missed by her sisters, Jacquie Stew and brother-in-law George Stew, Gibsons, BC; Maureen Buchanan, Winnipeg, and her most special nephew, Dan Buchanan and his girlfriend Hailey Benoit, Winnipeg. Deb is also survived and will be missed by her cousins, Gary Temple and family; Don and Pat Temple and family; and Bill and Marg Lyle and family. Other family members include her two stepnieces and their families. Deb's bridge club friends were also special to her. Deb was born on May 20, 1955 in Winnipeg and was the baby of the family. She grew up in Winnipeg and graduated from the University of Manitoba in 1977. Further education was obtained at the Southern Alberta Institute of Technology, Calgary, AB and the Manitoba Institute of Technology, Winnipeg. Deb's working career was varied both in Calgary and after her return to Winnipeg in the early 1990s. Her last employment was as a Pharmacy Technician until 2015. Deb's interests were varied including travelling with family and friends, playing bridge and other card games, reading, swimming, doing jigsaw puzzles, keeping up with current news events, listening to music, watching movies and favourite television shows. She also attended the Winnipeg Symphony Orchestra Pops concerts for many years. Family was all important to Deb as she was to her family. Christmas was a special time for her; her ginger cookies were in demand. Flowers are gratefully declined.
