CLAIRE DUNN

April 11, 2012

CLAIRE ROSANNA DUNN (nee PAYMENT) October 7, 1946 – April 11, 2012 Peacefully after a brief and courageous battle with cancer, our dear mother, nana, sister, aunt and friend to many, slipped away from us into God’s hands. Left to cherish Claire’s memory are her children, Tammy Kolmatiski (Paul), James Hill (Laurie); beloved grandchildren, Mathew, Keegan and Keanna Kolmatiski, Autumn, Cameron and Riley Hill; as well as by brother Emile Payment; sister-in-law Brenda Payment, and numerous nieces and nephews. Mom was born and raised in Markham, Ontario and then lived and raised her family in Manitoba. She was a truck driver by trade, enjoying highway travel the most. She loved seeing the country, the mountains, her dogs and her family. A Celebration of Claire’s Life will be held on Thursday, April 19, 2012 at 7:00 p.m. in the Beausejour Community Church, 748 Park Avenue. A special thanks is extended to Aunty Brenda, Pastor Alvin (Zenda), Pastor Chris and all family and friends for supporting Claire and us through this difficult time. Thanks to Eleanor (a great big hug) and the rest of the nurses and staff at Selkirk General Hospital for the compassionate care of our mother. In lieu of flowers, please donate to the Canadian Cancer Society, 193 Sherbrook Street, Winnipeg, MB R3C 2B7 or the Palliative Care Unit of the Selkirk General Hospital. Forever In Our Hearts And In Our Minds.   As published in the Winnipeg Free Press on April 14, 2012
