Christine Marian MacLeod

It is with sadness that we announce the passing of Christine Marian MacLeod on December 1, 2013 at the age of 73.

The daughter of the late Rev. John and Jean MacLeod, she was born November 25, 1940 in Stonewall, Manitoba. She lived in Warren, Carberry and Morris prior to attending the University of Manitoba and graduating from the faculty of Pharmacy in 1962.

Christine enjoyed her career as a hospital pharmacist. She was a lifelong student keenly interested in a wide range of subject areas from history to sports. She travelled widely and particularly enjoyed time with family. Her nephews and nieces would say she was game for any new adventure.

She lived her life with love, courage and dignity and forever will be cherished in the hearts of her family and friends. We are sad that you are gone, but happy that your pain is over. She was an inspiration to us all.

Christine will be missed sisters Lu and Isabelle (Doug Southam), brother John (Maureen) and sister-in-law Lorraine MacLeod, nephews and nieces Gregory (Jennifer), Tracy and Sandra (Doug Dougherty) Southam, Bruce (Debbie) MacLeod, Heather (Greg) Penno and Angus MacLeod, Darryl (Amber) MacLeod, Allison (Arnan Dachner), Kathryn (James Friedrich) and Jonathan (Amanda) MacLeod and several great nephews and nieces all of whom she dearly loved.

She was predeceased by her parents, brother Angus and infant sisters Jean and Ruth.

Respecting Christine’s wishes there will be no formal services. Interment to be in St. Vital Cemetery.

The family would like to thank the CancerCare staff at the Health Sciences Centre, Victoria General Hospital and Palliative Care Ward at St. Boniface Hospital as well as the volunteers at St. Boniface Hospital who brightened up her days with their visits.

In lieu of flowers, if one so desires, make a donation to a charity of your choice.
