Ellen Olive Waight died on March 24, at the Winnipeg Convalescent Home. She was the youngest child of Billy and Tottie Bradley, a pioneering family of Milestone, Saskatchewan, where she was born April 9, 1906. In 1937 she married George Charles Waight of Winnipeg where she lived until 1976, before moving to Victoria, BC. George predeceased her in 1985. Ellen returned to live at the Winnipeg Convalescent Home in June of 2003.

She is survived by her daughter and son-in-law, Frances and Harold Macdonald, her grandchildren Susan, Harold, Mary and Nancy; her sister-in-law Jean Bradley and by her nieces Verna Mae Demers, Jean Porter and Geri Rae and nephews Bill Bradley, Graham and Rennie Bradley. Her family includes great grandchildren, Olivia, Marta, Amory, Manlius, Amelia and Abigail and grand nephews and nieces.

I have lived and I have loved;
I have waked and I have slept;
I have sung and I have danced;
I have smiled and I have wept;
I have won and wasted treasure;
I have had my fill of pleasure;
And all these things were weariness;
and some of them were dreariness.
But Love - it was the best of them;
And sleep - worth the rest of them.
