BRANGET,
Louis
Charles
Passed away peacefully on Wednesday October 31, 2007 at the Royal
Victoria Hospital in Barrie in his 53rd year. He dearly loved
his children Crystal, Echo, Nikki, Ernest and Minno and grandchildren
Kristen, Cole, Isaiah and Alexandra who all live in British Columbia.
Louis was the 5th of 15 children born to Joan
BRANGET and the
late Ernest
BRANGET. He was predeceased by brothers George and
John, and sister Mary. Surviving siblings are Diane
(McKAY,)
Bruce, Raymond, Daniel, Susan
(BAZANT), Armand "Joe", Gerald,
Joan (STROUD,)
Pamela
(PIERCE,) Margaret
(BARRETTE) and Michael.
Louis spent most of his life searching for relief from debilitating
emotional and physical pain. He coped by labouring long hours
with very little sleep while he did the work of two or three
men always in physically demanding situations. He loved a challenge
and was happiest doing demolition and salvage work that other
contractors would not even bid on. He was always creating something
functional or decorative from items that others had discarded.
A skilled taxidermist, Louis also enjoyed cooking, fishing, gardening,
music, and a good laugh. He loved nature and preferred to live
outdoors where he felt closest to God. Louis lived his last year
in the care of his sister Diane and her husband Brian who saw
that his complex health issues were correctly diagnosed and treated.
When he was not in hospital undergoing chemo, radiation or surgery
treatments for cancer, Louis could be found riding around Creemore
on his homemade scooter or his high-tech electric wheelchair.
He enjoyed spending time down at the Mad River checking out potential
fishing spots and he rarely missed a yard sale. Louis often commented
that he wanted to spend the rest of his life in Creemore as it
was the happiest and most peaceful period of his life. It was
his wish that his ashes be interred at the Creemore Union Cemetery
during a private memorial service in the summer of 2008 when
all his children can be present. Those who wish to remember Louis
in a special way are asked to make a donation to the Creemore
Tree Committee, Box 2073, Creemore, Ontario L0M 1G0.

WENHARDT,
Helen
Jean (née
ODDIE)
Jean WENHARDT, was born November 11, 1914 and passed away December 25,
2007 in Victoria, British Columbia. With joy we celebrate the
life of Jean and sadly announce her passing, one month past her
93rd birthday. She was the youngest of four children and grew
up on a farm at Milestone in southern Saskatchewan. In 1932,
she completed Grade 12 and worked diligently at various jobs
for six years to finance her university education. Jean graduated
from the College of Home Economics at the University of Saskatchewan
in 1941 and completed her dietetic internship at the Royal Jubilee
Hospital in Victoria, British Columbia in 1942. She worked for
the Junior Red Cross in Saskatchewan for the remainder of the
war years, and was awarded a MBE (Member of the British Empire)
for her efforts. She went on to complete an M.A. in Public Health
at the University of Michigan and returned to Saskatchewan as
the first provincial nutritionist, a post she held for several
years. Jean married Arthur
WENHARDT in 1951 and their children
Lorna, Wesley and Murray were all born in Swift Current, Saskatchewan.
The family relocated to Saskatoon in 1961. She was predeceased
by her husband Arthur in 1988 and Jean moved to Victoria in 2003.
Jean's connections to people were vital and her relationships
dear. Her first love was family and Friends who brought great
joy throughout her long and energetic life. Jean had many interests:
gardening, camping, travelling the world, genealogy, promoting
nutrition, language and lifelong learning. Left to carry on her
spirit are her three children: Lorna (Gibson) Victoria, Wesley
(Paula) Vancouver, and Murray (Venice) Toronto and her five adored
grandchildren: Matthew
PIERCE of Brisbane, Australia, Daniel
PIERCE (Alison
BAILLIE) of Vancouver, Robin
PIERCE (David
SPICER)
of Auch, France, and Ella Jean and Brynn Helena
WENHARDT of Toronto.
A memorial service will be held in Saskatoon in July 2008. In
lieu of flowers, please make a donation to the charity of your
choice that best represents your memory of Jean.
