ANNE FREDA PROVIS
(nee DILWORTH)
She was predeceased by her husband, Dr. Hugh Provis, 33 years ago; and by parents, Forbes and Mary Dilworth; brothers, Ted (Chris), Art (Eileen) and Ray (Beth, her dear surviving sister-in-law.) Life will not be the same for her children: Charmian (Louis), Heather Rill (Raph), Peter (Trudy) and
Michele (Jody.) She dearly loved her
grandkids: Trevor, Raven, Tia, Emily, Isabel, Dominic, Hayden, Garrett; and her great-grandkids: Brianna and Beau. Auntie Anne cherished: Raymond (Marilyn), Marie, Grant (Helen), Dale(Cathy), Blake (Kathy), Brad, Elaine and Joanne (Mitch).
Mum was a true Manitoban. Born in Treherne, she lived and worked on the family farm in Rathwell, where she met and married her Dad's new doctor who started making
frequent house calls. Her married life was spent in Charleswood, Winnipeg. After Hugh passed she moved to join family in Lac du Bonnet for the rest of her life. Mum loved being at home and dedicated her life to being a wife, Mum and Granny and looking after the pets. It seemed Mum could do anything. She painted the exterior of our two storey house, removed a wall in the dining room and changed the oil in the cars. She loved
gardening, cutting the grass and being
outside. She was involved at church and schools and drove the kids here, there and
everywhere. Mum loved to make fires - by the river, in the fireplaces and in her kitchen wood stove. As a young woman Mum played baseball and curled. She was a great skater and would flood the backyard to make a rink when we were young. Mum was a dedicated Jets and curling fan. Mum was a pie baker (special mention of her lemon meringue) and pancake maker extraordinaire. She loved to do crewel embroidery with her stitchery group. She threw the best birthday parties and dinners and made magical Christmases. Mum loved to have a gin and tonic in the summer and she had a wine every day up until the last week. Mum would say, "Those were the good old days". And now, sadly, they are. Cheers Mum!
Special thanks to the caring staff at Whitemouth Personal Care Home.
A memorial service will be held when all the loved ones can gather.
Flowers are gratefully declined but if you would like to honour our dear Mum, consider visiting an elderly relative or friend, planting a perennial in the spring, or just enjoying a drink. She would wish she were there with you.

Please accept our sincere condolences on the loss of your Mother, Grandmother and Great-Grandmother. My husband and I remember well Anne's acts of kindness in giving us some of her delicious lemon pies as well as sending over clothes for our small children. She was always busy "mothering" her very active family who we remember with fondness as well. Although the years have come and gone, we could never forget her amazing husband, Dr. Hugh Provis, and their two daughters, Charmian and Heather. Both of the girls were of invaluable help with our very young children then. At this time, we extend our sympathy to all of you. May the Hope and Peace of Christ be your comfort and guide. As ever, Ruth and James Buenting (now of Calgary, Ab.) - Posted by: Ruth and James Buenting (Former Neighbours) on: Feb 09, 2020

With my family I grew up 4 doors down from the Provis' on Roblin Blvd in Charleswood. Memories of the family were always wonderful. Peter and I were in and out of each others houses and were always having a great time. Mrs. Provis would keep us fed (usually thawed Gondola Pizza) and tirelessly drive us everywhere with her memorable laugh and wonderful heart. Throughout the years we were able to stay in contact with the wonderful Provis family. Mrs. Provis never lost her infectious laugh and zest for life. Heaven surely has an Angel First Class looking down on her loved ones making sure all there lives are special. Condolences to all the Provis family. The Porritt family loves you very very much. - Posted by: Trevor Porritt (Close friend) on: Jan 10, 2020
