The 鈥渇all supper season鈥� has been a busy one, and one so many people enjoy as they travel miles to attend as many of these events as possible. Each one is slightly different but the food is always good.
Milleton district鈥檚 supper was Oct. 18 and, as well as interesting food, there was lots of visiting going on. Many times fall supper time is the only time of year when people can visit with each other in such a friendly setting.
The Wellness Clinic in Waseca is always held at the community centre the third Thursday of each month. November will be an important clinic since flu shots will be available for anyone who wishes to take advantage of them. The date and time will be Nov. 19 at 9 a.m.
Last week I received the news of the death of Mrs. Flossie (Jeffrey) Forrest who grew up in the Lilydale district south of Maidstone but who spent a great deal of time with her sister Mrs. Lottie (Jeffrey) Hinde in the Battlevale district south of Waseca and in other locations in this area.
Flossie was the youngest child in the Douglas and Florence Jeffrey family, being born in 1920. Flossie made many friends, especially in the Battlevale district. Her family was very musical and between them they played many instruments, entertaining themselves or playing for dances and parties in the area.
Flossie and her husband Bill Forrest spent a number of years living in Oliver, B.C. A couple of years ago she moved to a care home close to her daughter where she passed away Oct. 17. Flossie was predeceased by her husband and all her immediate family.
Our sympathy to her children and their families and to other relatives, including her nephews Mervin and Alan Hinde.
