Lesley P. Price
June 6, 1935 - January 27, 2018
Suddenly, but peacefully Lesley passed away on Saturday, January 27, 2018 in the company of her husband Randy.
Lesley was born in The Pas, MB to parents Phillip and Kerstin (nee Westman) Ridings on June 6, 1935. She grew up in Winnipeg and completed high school in the Pas, MB where she met her future husband Randy Price. Lesley always thought of others before herself and had an innate caregiving nature. She was loyal, kind, generous of spirit, and everyone who knew her loved her. Lesley graduated from Grace Hospital in 1957 with her nursing diploma and moved with fellow graduates and lifelong friends to Berkeley, CA in 1957 to begin their nursing careers. Lesley returned to Winnipeg in 1958 and practiced nursing at The Grace Hospital and concluded her profession in the maternity ward at St. Boniface Hospital. Lesley and Randy married and started their family and life of 56 years together in St. James. Lesley’s loving kindness and sincerity drew many lifelong friendships she maintained from childhood her entire life. Her greatest gift was the unconditional selfless care she gave to her husband Randy, and the daughters she loved so much. Lesley thoroughly enjoyed many trips over the years with Randy to Hawaii and then in latter years to Florida to visit their daughter Allyson.
Lesley was predeceased by her parents, brother Glenn (2015), stepmother Margaret Ridings (2008), sister Rhoda in infancy. Left to cherish Lesley’s love and happy memories are her husband Randy Price, daughters Sydney (Barry) Wiess, Allyson (Bruce) Lomberk, sister Rosalind (Ian) Malcolm, grandsons, Brett, Drew, and Craig Wiess, niece Lisa Jordan, nephew David, great nieces and nephews Pamela, Amanda, Scott, Robert and great-great nephew Owen.
A very special thank you to Pat Mason who lovingly cared for Randy and Lesley for the last couple of years in their time of need.
A celebration of Lesley’s life will be held on Thursday, March 1, 2018 at Sturgeon Creek United Church, 207 Thompson Drive, Winnipeg, MB. Service will begin at 12:30 p.m. to be followed by a reception at the same location. Interment will be at Chapel Lawn Memorial Gardens at 3:00 p.m.
