Lena Lee Rodrigue

Peacefully on August 2nd 2015 at the Vista Park Lodge, Lee Rodrigue passed away. Predeceased by her loving husband Romeo and parents Tina and John Seniuk, she is survived by her brother Steve (Lorna) Seniuk, her daughter Betty (Don) Young, son Barry (Kathy) Rodrigue, and her four grandchildren Sheri Arnott, Daniel (Angela) Arnott, Colin (Andrea) Rodrigue, and Jayme (Matt) Marien. Her five great- grandchildren, Zoë, Abby, Jace, Carter, and Callie will miss her greatly.

Lee and her parents arrived in Canada from the Ukraine in 1929 and homesteaded in Cowan, MB. In 1941, Lee moved to Winnipeg and met her future husband Romeo at the Crystal Palace Dance Hall in Winnipeg Beach. They raised their family in St. Boniface and moved to Petersfield in 1979, where she enjoyed the view of Netley Creek and getting out and about with the ‘girls’. Lee worked at Warren’s Corner in St Boniface for many years and is remembered for her delicious apple pies – and her sometimes saucy language. She travelled across Canada and many parts of the US.

We’d like say a special thanks to the staff at Vista Park Lodge for their compassionate care of Lee.

Services will be held at Green Acres Funeral Home on Friday August 7th 2015 at 2:00 pm and officiated by Reverend Janet Walker. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Salvation Army or the Alzheimer’s Society Manitoba.

Don’t worry Baba Lee; we’ll take care of cutting the grass.
