Lucille Brown

(nee Yarjau)

On Tuesday, August 7, 2007, after a lengthy battle with cancer, it is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved mother and grandmother, Lucille at the age of 72 years.

Remaining to forever cherish Lucille's memory are her children, Michael (Bev), Steve (Shauna), Lisa (Lyle) and Donna (Jayson); grandchildren, Andrew, Melissa, Alicia, Tara, Jules, Joel, Lauren, Alain, Michelle, Tyler, Jessica, Erin and David; three brothers, Raymond, Robert and Ed, as well as her sister Dora.

Mom grew up in Notre Dame De Lourdes and later moved to Winnipeg. She travelled abroad for a number of years, and then settled back in Winnipeg in the 1970s. Lucille worked in retail then started her own business in the 1980s which continued to flourish until her illness took hold of her.

A devout Catholic, she had a tremendous impact on her many friends and all who knew her. Having faced numerous challenges that would deplete the best of us, she persevered and always enjoyed life to it's fullest. Mom was a fighter and an inspiration to anyone who knew her...but more than anything our mother was dedicated and devoted to her family. We were her focus and she never let us down and what a wonderful lasting example to us all.

Funeral Mass was celebrated on Friday, August 10 at 2:00 p.m. in the Blessed John XXIII Roman Catholic Church, 3390 Portage Avenue at Rouge Road, with Rev. Msgr. Maurice Comeault P. H., presiding.

Interment Service will be held in the Notre Dame Parish Cemetery on Friday, October 26, 2007 at 11 a.m.
