ELLEN ROSS
June 10, 2013
ELLEN (ELLA) ROSS (nee KYLES) After a lifetime of challenges which were met, head-on, with the support of a loving family, friends, colleagues and neighbours, Ellen died at the Grace Hospital, Winnipeg, Manitoba, Monday, June 10, 2013. Ellen leaves her daughter Jennifer (Toronto); son Alastair (Winnipeg); and beloved grandchildren Emma, Kate and Alec. At Ellen’s own request, there will be no service. Her remains will be returned to Scotland to be with those of her beloved parents, The Rev. David Kyles, M.A. and Mrs. Helen Kyles; dear brother, David; and her much loved husband, Maxwell (Max) Ross. We would like to thank Doctors R. S. Rehal, W. P. Grobler and R. Hamedani for their care and understanding. Jennifer and Alastair extend their gratitude to the nurses, aides, staff and doctors of the 5th floor of the Grace who were so attentive to Ellen’s care in these last few weeks. The family graciously decline flowers but it was her hope that her death might benefit others less fortunate. Ellen donated annually to a number of charities and, in this spirit of generosity, we welcome donations to the charity of your choice.
