OBITUARY
Jean Cecilia Brewer
16 March , 1925 – 14 April , 2018
We are sad to announce that Miss Jean Brewer passed away peacefully on Saturday, April 14th, 2018 at the age of 93 years young.
Jean will be lovingly remembered by her nieces Linda Maul (Lorn), Pat Drapak, and Deb Bartel (Kelly); and her nephew Wayne Brewer (Kem); plus many great-great nieces and nephews and their children who loved their Auntie Jean.
Jean was predeceased by her Mother and Father, Isabel and Reuben Brewer; and her only brother, Ronald Brewer and his wife Kathleen.
A true Winnipeg girl, Jean lived much of her life in the Fort Garry area. She grew up in the home her father built at 1377 Pembina Hwy. Jean graduated from the Misericordia School of Nursing in 1947, and got her Bachelor of Nursing, U of M in 1969. She spent 36 years of her 41 years in Nursing at the Misericordia Hospital, working in various departments as an RN, ending her vocation as a Teacher/Coordinator in the School of Nursing. Nursing was truly her passion and she was known by all of her students to be very strict and unwavering in her commitment to their success.
Once retired, she continued to stay involved at the Misericordia volunteering at the Buhler Eye Care Centre until just before her 90th birthday. She loved travelling the world, curling, bowling, gardening, playing card games of any kind and was known for her calligraphy and home-made cards. Jean loved spending time with her nieces and nephew, enjoying our annual camping weekend in the mountains, living the life in Palm Springs around the pool, or visiting in our homes.
A Funeral Service will be held at 1:00 pm on Friday, April 20, 2018 and St. Paul’s Anglican, 830 North Drive. A private family Interment will follow the reception.
Thanks to the many friends who have been there for Jean over the past few years; too numerous to mention but know you are in our hearts. We also thank the caring staff on 4GD Health Sciences Centre; your kindness was so appreciated.
