HOOD - It is with sadness that the family of Winslowe Cameron Hood announce his passing November 11, 2011 at Lady Minto Health Care Center in Edam. Born August 28, 1919, Winslowe lived his life on the farm in the Minnehaha district. Family and community involvement were of great importance to him. Winslowe is survived by Doris (his wife of 62 years), sister Ruth (Ken) Gibson, brother-in-law Len Heth, sister-in-law Myrna Skinner; daughter Sherri (Lynn) Grant - Amy (Wayne) Andree, Logan (Avery) Grant, Brenna Grant, Morgan (Jen Tedford) Grant; son Shannon (Louise) Hood - Jody (Erin) Hood, Angie (Kris) Carver, Nathan (Anna) Hood; 12 great grandchildren, numerous nieces, nephews, cousins and their families. The funeral service was conducted from Edam Community Center on November 15, 2011 with Reverend Canon Donald Skinner officiating. Eulogy by Jody Hood. Honorary pallbearers were Members of Masonic Ionic Lodge No. 31. Active pallbearers were Nathan Hood, Kris Carver, Jody Hood, Morgan Grant, Wayne Andree, Logan Grant. Interment was held in Edam Cemetery. Card of Thanks The family of Winslowe Hood would like to thank the Lady Minto staff for their exemplary care, treating Dad with dignity and respect, and doing all those little 'extras' (making him a curling schedule during Brier week, putting his favourite fiddle music on to play, buttoning up his Western shirts, watering the 'weed' he had growing in the window). Thanks to the Community Choir for their fine showing of support at Dad's service, and to organist Bev Meikle. Thank you to the Masonic members that attended, as well as those that participated in the service. We would also like to extend our gratitude to friends and neighbours for visits over the past 2 years in the care home, as well as all those who helped Dad and Mom stay in their home the last few months prior to entering LMHCC. Dad believed in the "strong fabric of community", and in turn was supported by community. ____________________________________________________
