Grace Anne Dunbar
It is with sadness and a sense of blessing that we announce the passing of Grace Anne Dunbar. With family by her side, Grace passed away peacefully on Sunday, March 10th, 2019. Grace was born in London, England on July 3rd, 1922. She and her husband Fred immigrated to Canada in 1953 with their young son Christopher. She enjoyed traveling, social gatherings, family events and bus trips to the casinos. Grace was a true Englishwoman, enjoying a good chin wag with anyone that was nearby, and had some great English sayings, expressing them with her Hackney accent. Grace enjoyed a good long life and outlived most of her friends, she will be lovingly missed by all who knew her. Grace was predeceased by her husband, Frederick in 1998, and is survived by her only child, who was her pride and joy, Christopher (Norma); grandchildren, Nissa Gieni-Wareham (Ray Wareham) and Jason Gieni (Carrie); great-grandchildren: Nadia Okoktok (Ernesto), Jaidyn Gieni, Willow Gieni, and Jazlyn Wareham; niece, Tracey Lang and her children Kai Bojahra/Liesl, Dane Bojahra/Aline and families in Australia; her extended family: Bette and Art Ramshaw, Bev Schroeder (Harvey) and family, Gary Ramshaw and family, Mark Ramshaw (Aline) and family; Janice Stitchbury-Riley (Jerome Riley), John and Lorna Gomersall (Stephen/Crystal, Stephanie/Jay, Danielle/Zack, Kristin/Logan) and families; Reg, Heather and Katie Miles, Stuart Anderson and families, and Gloria (Bill) Hamilton. We want to thank the wonderful caregivers at Extendicare who treated mom like she was their own. A Private Funeral Service will be held at a later date, where she will be reunited with her cherished Fred. Flowers are gratefully declined. Donations in Grace’s name may be made to a charity of one’s choice. Arrangements are entrusted to Moose Jaw Funeral Home, 268 Mulberry Lane. James Murdock, Funeral Director 306-693-4550.
Grace was such a hoot to chat with. She had a nickname. “Greasy Elbow” and enjoyed being called that.
RIP Grace.
It is sad to hear and see such a fine lady, who losted her life. May the the comfort from the scriptures encourage the family that they could see this fine lady alive again as mention in 1Corinthians 15: 21 – 23.
