McLENNAN Edna (Gladys) nee Stuart, passed away peacefully December 6, 2008. Edna was born in P.A. on April 16, 1916 and raised at Steep Creek where she took her schooling and played the organ at the United Church. She married John in 1934 and they worked on Harry Washington's farm. Their daughters Eileen and June were born in 1935 and 1944. John built a home in Prince Albert in 1946 and mom lived in P.A. until her passing. Mom stayed at home until we were out of school then worked at Eatons, ran the elevator at the Medical Building, and then spent many years at MacDonald's Jewelers where she enjoyed dressing the store for all occasions. Mom belonged to the Friendship Circle, West Hill Community Club, bowled weekly, was a charter member of Sweet Adelines Barbershop Chorus. She was always on the ways and means committees and raised money, organized and decorated many functions and was a member of the Gateway Covenant Church. Mom enjoyed cards and belonged to the Heritage Center, Parkland Seniors and Historical Museum. She was the driver for many years for her friends on their outings, including Saturday suppers at the Legion. Mom was always gathering her family for special events and was known as Nana to us and our many friends. Her unfailing kindness and love seemed effortless. Everyone was welcome and you must stay to eat. Mom had a wonderful outlook on life and endured many hardships with a positive outlook, including her open heart surgery. Her wit and humor will be remembered and often quoted by many. She said she wasn't stubborn, just did what she wanted. Mom touched many lives in her 92 years and we are all fortunate to have known such a delightful and compassionate person. She will be missed and remembered with love by her daughter June (Glenn) Sherwin, 7 grandchildren and 13 great grandchildren; CURT (Rachel) Larson, Julie, Robert; BRAD (Shelley) Stubbs; MAUREEN (Darrell) Zelowsky, Rachel, Justin; SCOTT (Karen) Larson, Travis, Hope; FAYE (Scott) Street, Rebecca, Sydney; DARREN (Pat) Stubbs, Jessica, Jonathan; SONJA (Wayne) MacDonald, Courtney, Jessica, Lukas; many cousins, nieces, nephews, and dear friends.
