She will be sadly missed by her husband of 66 years, John Sidney Green; daughter Lita Boucher (Maurice Cook); son Steven (Joyce Haddad); grandchildren Nolan Boucher (Emily Bee), Amanda Boucher, Nicholas Green and Sarah Green; as well as great-granddaughter Caylene Myhre; sister Rosemary (Rowey) Reed; in-laws Joan and Ray, Carol, Sylvia and Dennis and many nieces and nephews.
She was predeceased by her parents Albert Edward Labram and Lillian Rosa Labram (Chalk); sister Lillian, brothers John, Ron, Roy, Christopher and Ken.
Born in Southampton, England, she moved to her new home in Winnipeg, Canada with her family in 1964 and was mainly employed at Pizza Place for 38 years, but her main focus in life was being a loving wife and mother. Her main enjoyment in life was to be with family and friends which are too numerous to name, but you know who you are.
Special thanks to all the caring doctors and nurses on the third floor of the Grace Hospital for their compassion and comfort in her last days, and the nurses at CancerCare at the Victoria Hospital.
Funeral Services will be held on Saturday, July 18, at 2:00 pm at Thomson “In the Park” Funeral Home for immediate family only at this time due to the current situation, with the hopes of a celebration for friends in the future when conditions are safer.

To my mom; I'm glad we had almost 64 years together, everyone's not so fortunate. Glad that I was there to hold your hand when you decided it was time, you probably took the only time dad wasn't here to save him the grief, that's you, always thinking about others. You probably knew Nick's birthday was coming up and didn't want him to have painful memories every year, but that's you, always considerate. You opened your eyes and kind of blinked when I asked you to do it, so I'm assuming you got to hear what I never said enough of, and I got to repeat what everyone wanted to tell you. You were a mother that anyone would be proud to have as a mother. So glad you were mine. We have lost the glue that kept our family on solid grounds. You were the most influential person in my life, and I am so fortunate to have you in mine. Watching you through the years and seeing the caring, compassion, empathy, and I love that you showed helped shape me into the person I am today. You showed me how a person should be and how you should treat others. Don't worry, I will try to be the glue, but won't be able to do it as good as you did. You gave us a couple of years longer than the doctors said you would be able to and those are precious moments. Life has been turned upside down, but your memory will keep us strong. Like I kept telling you, I will look after dad, so no worries there. Your suffering is over, ours begins. I hope I can be as perfect a person as I think you were. Mother's Day is going to be hard. I will try to follow in your legacy. Rest in peace, you touched so many people and I'm sure that they are saddened by this unfortunate event. Obviously, you will never be forgotten, so sad it ended this way. I wanted you to come home at least one more time, but circumstances would not allow it. Love you, and always will, your son, Steve. Rest in peace.
