ELAINE ROSE DUCHARME

March 28, 1943 – December 19, 2018

Elaine was born in Prince Albert, Saskatchewan to the late Rose (nee Blanchette) and Howard Wilson. She lived many places, most notably Bienfait and Estevan, SK; San Luis Obispo, Carpinteria, and Santa Barbara, CA; Las Vegas, NV, and then made her home in Winnipeg.

Elaine was an independent, hard-working woman who gave all she had to her family – no matter how small or how hard it was to come by. She had a great affinity for animals and loved spending her time by the Assiniboine River feeding everything that came along. She was a natural beauty, carrying her black locks until her passing. Her sense of humour was legendary and remains one of her greatest legacies.

Elaine leaves behind daughters Tracy and Tammy (Bill); grandchildren Christina (Jesse), Jaclyn, Sarah (Gerard), Nathan, Catherine, Michael, Larissa; great grandchildren Rose, Thomas; siblings Patricia, Patrick and Reta. She was predeceased by daughter Colleen Jennings and sister Judy.

The family wishes to extend its sincere appreciation to Golden Links Lodge Care Home for the loving care they provided these past few years and for providing peace and comfort in her last days.

Family will be having a private ceremony.

Donations can be made to any local animal shelter.

Mom, Grandma, Namma.

You taught us perseverance, and to never let the past define the future.

You deserve your peace after all you gave

We love you, and will surely know you by your beauty and wit on the other side

‘Til we meet again
