COLLEEN “BUGGIE” JOHNSTON It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of Colleen Johnston at the Health Sciences Centre, Winnipeg, MB, on August 19, 2014 at the age of 41. Her memory will be cherished by her loving father Allan Johnston, mother, Jennifer Johnston, two sisters Ardelle Johnston, Brenda Johnston, brother, Martin Johnston. She will also be missed by her cherished aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, cousins and friends. She also leaves behind her beloved dog Riley and cat Badger. Colleen gave very generously to others who needed her help. She was passionate about helping her family, friends and even people she did not know. She had a heart larger than life. Colleen’s care and concern for her family, friends, others and her dog and cat never wavered for a second even when her health declined. Her nurturing soul made sure everything and everyone was always taken care of. Colleen also had an artistic side from a young age, she was amazing at drawing and painting. Colleen worked as a hair dresser for many years. Colleen also loved nature. She had many wonderful experiences staying in Pine Dock and Winnipeg Beach with family and friends. She could not get enough of staying near the Lakes. “You were always there when we needed you” No task too great or small, With a loving heart and a willing hand For us you did them all. Thanks for the years you gave us And for the precious times we shared, We only pray when you left us You knew how much we cared. God saw you getting tired When a cure was not to be, He put His arms around you And said, “Come unto Me.” FOREVER IN OUR MEMORIES Memorial Service will be held on August 26, 2014 at 2:00 pm at Cropo Funeral Chapel at 1442 Main Street.
