HUGHES – Winnifred Amelia

1927 - 2011


Winnifred Amelia Hughes passed away peacefully at the Rockyview General Hospital on July 4, 2011 at the age of 84. She is survived by her four children, Darlene McMillan, Bonnie Weidenbruch (Joe), David Hughes (Amy), and Tom Hughes; 10 grandchildren, and 8 great-grandchildren. Predeceased in 2003 by her husband Jack T. Hughes.


Winnifred was born in Moose Jaw. After her time in the Canadian military, she settled in Powell River, B.C. where she met and married her soul mate Jack.  They remained in Powell River where they raised their family. Upon retirement they moved to Courtenay, B.C. and spent the next 20 years enjoying their retirement.


Three years ago Winnifred moved to Calgary and brought joy and love to those who surrounded her at her retirement home. She will be sadly missed by all the people that knew her.


Winnifred will be laid to final rest with her husband Jack in Courtenay B.C. Expressions of sympathy may be left for the family at www.southcalgaryfuneralcentre.ca
