SNEESBY: Dolores “Lorrie” Rae (nee Ball) March 25, 1944 –April 7, 2022, and Angus Joe March 26, 1937–April 11, 2022. It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Lorrie and Angus. Together, they are survived by their daughter Kris and grandchildren Mackenzie (Aaron), Brianne, and Alex; son Kyle (Kristen) and grandchildren Ewan and Abby; son Tyler (Sarah). Lorrie is survived by her siblings Gwen (Allan) Sharpe, Richard (Janet) Ball, and Eldon (Bonnie) Ball. She was predeceased by her parents Wilfred and Marjorie Ball and son-in-law Mark Jamieson. Angus is survived by siblings Grace Blair, Phyllis Walker, Gerald (Jackie) Sneesby and sisters-in-law Elma and Jean Sneesby, and brother-in-law Hans Andersen. He was predeceased by his parents Albert and Jean Sneesby, siblings Charles, Bruce, Argyle, Arthur, Thelma Andersen, Barbara Kelly, Beatrice (in infancy), Darlene (in infancy), and Doris Buchanan; brothers-in-law Mervyn Kelly, Keith Blair, and Lorne Buchanan and sister-in-law Elizabeth Sneesby. Angus and Lorrie are also survived by numerous nieces and nephews. Lorrie grew up in Fort William, Napinka, Lyleton, and Pierson areas before obtaining her teaching certificate at Brandon College. Angus grew up in Arden and Woodside before beginning work with PFRA and residing in many small Manitoba towns with his work. In 1962, Lorrie and Angus met in Crystal City while staying in the same boarding home. Lorrie was teaching and Angus was building a dam. They then both moved into Winnipeg where Lorrie taught at Riverview School and Angus continued to work in the office with PFRA. In April 1965, they got married and, in the fall of 1965, they moved to Ghana, Africa. They resided there for two years while Angus worked to help install irrigation systems and Lorrie taught school. In September 1967, Kris was born in Tema, Ghana, and in July 1969, Kyle was born in Winnipeg. Shortly after Kyle was born, they moved to Gravelbourg, Saskatchewan. They were active in the community — with Angus belonging to Elks and Lorrie keeping busy babysitting kids during the day and going to her rummoli club in the evenings. In 1974, they moved to Shaunavon, Saskatchewan, and in December, Tyler was born. Angus kept busy with Elks, coaching, skeet shooting, volunteer ambulance driving, and moonlighting doing masonry and shingling. Lorrie continued babysitting, belonged to Royal Purple, volunteered in church with the Sunday School, and the two of them curled together in a mixed league. In 1981, Lorrie and Angus moved to Brandon. They lived in their home on Confederation Bay until recent years when they moved out to Monterey Estates. In Brandon, they continued staying active in the community and assisting with their kids’ activities — whether it be coaching, managing, or sewing costumes. Lorrie went to ACC and took a secretarial course, then she had a great career working in the psychiatry department at BMHC and CAP before retiring. Angus continued to work at PFRA until retiring at 56, then he worked for the provincial exhibition and went to work for his brother-in-law in Calgary. For the past almost 20 years, Angus volunteered for the Commonwealth Air Training Plan Museum — a place so dear to his heart. Angus and Lorrie loved volunteering. They volunteered for every major curling event that came to Manitoba, as well as numerous youth sporting events and tournaments. They were both active in golf, curling, and bowling, with Lorrie participating in both up until the pandemic began. Lorrie and Angus were wonderful parents and grandparents, always interested in what the kids were doing in school, sports, and travels. They were happiest when with the grandkids. They spent hours playing board and yard games, doing puzzles, watching movies, and going to the Brandon Fair. They were fixtures on the sidelines of soccer and hockey games, in the audience of band, dance, and gymnastics, and Lorrie was once spotted on the stage at a grade 8 band recital. Lorrie and Angus were loved by many, and they’ve left a hole in many people’s hearts. Both faced medical issues and challenges in their recent years, but their strength and perseverance as they faced their hurdles left many people in awe — especially the staff at Brandon Hospital (Angus was known to be a man with 100 lives). Both passed peacefully at the Brandon Regional Health Centre while receiving fantastic care from numerous doctors, nurses, aides, and support staff. Thank you all! A service to celebrate the lives of Lorrie and Angus will take place at the Victoria Inn - Grand Salon, 3550 Victoria Avenue, Brandon on Monday, May 9, 2022 at 2:00 p.m. with Arlene Robertson officiating.
