We'd like to thank the Palliative Teams for their care and support.ĭonations can be made to the Canadian Museum of Human Rights in honour of Frances Miles.Īs published in Winnipeg Free Press on May 29, 2021įran was all you say she was.
We had a small gathering graveside with other family and friends on Zoom and toasted her with a dram of Scotch. In the spirit of our ritual of watching the Oscars together, we want to honour our mother with a Lifetime Achievement Award - for living true to her philosophy of "attitude, optimism and unconditional love." Family celebrations won't be the same without her! Her home was open to all with gourmet food and incredible baking. Nobody could host a social gathering like our Mom. She could match any Jeopardy contestant, was a whiz at crossword puzzles, and exercised at the gym and played Bridge well into her late 90s. She loved the theatre, symphony and ballet and was a Blue Bomber fan for over 60 years. Mom was interested in everything life had to offer. She was mentally vivid, determined and witty right until the end. Our Mom was a strong, independent, feisty, smart, inquisitive woman, who loved life and people.
