NORMA KATHLEEN DIXON
    It is with heavy hearts that we are advising of the passing of our dear mother, Norma Dixon (aka Gran) on Saturday, April 2, 2016, at the age of 89 years.   Although Norma was an only child, she was proud to have a large family of four children, ten grandchildren and 15 great-grandchildren.   Gran was a real trooper and looked after herself in her beloved house until the end where she died peacefully in her sleep. Like Sinatra, she always did things her way. Gran’s house on the Red River gave her immense pleasure and she loved watching the critters with her binoculars. She was very pleased last week when two geese came to stay in her garden for a couple of days. Besides her house, Gran’s other favourite places in the world were her cottage at Grand Beach and Florida. Her husband, and our dad, Fred (Bumpa) Dixon predeceased her in 2008, so they’re probably having happy hour near the ocean. So mum, say hi to dad for us and smell those shrimp they’re beginning to boil.”   In compliance with Gran’s wishes, no formal Funeral Service will be held.   In lieu of flowers, go to a bar or buy a bottle of wine and raise a glass to Gran. She would like that.   Wojcik’s Funeral Chapels & Crematorium, Winnipeg, 1020 Main Street, 204.586.8668 www.wojciksfuneralchapel.com
