It is with great sadness that we announce that Mom (Winnie) passed away surrounded by family at the Jubilee Hospital on January 21st, 2020. She had just turned 90 on January 17th, 2020 and we had a celebration with over 50 family and friends. Winnie was born in Winnipeg in 1930, grew up on a farm in Gimli and came to Victoria with her family when she was 13.
Mom was very loved by her 6 sons George, Martin, Robert, Kim, Brian and Dean, 3 daughters Roseanne, Tina and Dawn. She was a wonderful Grandmother to her 13 grandchildren, her 19 great-grandchildren and always there for cousins, nieces, nephews and so many friends. She was predeceased by her beloved mother Ethel Ball nee Derbyshire, father Ernest Ball, brother Gerald, sons Bob and Kim Sheridan, her husband Richard Schaufele and partner James Beech.
Mom had a full and blessed life and will be greatly missed; she was 90 years loved.
A Memorial Service will be held in the Sequoia Centre at McCall Gardens, 4665 Falaise Drive, Victoria, BC on Saturday, February 15, 2020 at 2:30 pm.
Condolences may be offered to the family below.

Kristy pallan My lovely gran. How you will be missed. I carry with me all the memories of big family Christmas’ and sleep overs at grandma’s. You were always so patient teaching us 8 year olds how to knit and play crib and eventually playing our hands for us. I was in my 20’s before I knew why orange juice at grandma’s tasted so good (it was orange punch) love always.
