About	JANIS DOREEN BEATTIE (AUGUST) August 8, 1948 - April 16, 2020 Janis Doreen Beattie (August) was born on August 8, 1948, in Brandon, Manitoba, to Howard and Elizabeth August (Bailey). Janis will be missed and lovingly remembered by her husband, David Beattie; daughter, Kelly (Stavros); daughter, Shannon (Russell); grandchildren, Henry and Charlotte; brother, Jim August (Sharon); brother-in-law, Don Beattie (June); and many nieces and nephews. Janis grew up on Tinniswood Street in the North End of Winnipeg. Janis was active at the North Winnipeg YMCA, participating in the leadership program, teaching swimming, and going to outstanding Saturday night dances with her brother and friends. After graduating from Sisler High School, she worked at the Royal Bank, where she met Dave, her husband of 50 years. When her daughters were born, she decided to leave work, and dedicate her time and attention to raising her children. Janis loved sewing, quilting, and woodworking, and could make anything that she put her mind to. If you showed her a picture of something, she would say "I can make that", and she did. In her retirement, she and Dave travelled each winter to Texas and Mexico. Janis loved the sun, and the sand between her toes. No matter where she ventured, her favourite place was at home in her backyard, working in her garden with her dogs. Janis became an avid golfer and was a member of the Players Ladies Golf League, where she made many great friends. Janis' greatest passion, however, was people. She was always thinking of others first; her family, her friends, and those in need of a helping hand. Due to COVID-19, a funeral service will not be held. In lieu of flowers, a donation can be made to the Winnipeg Humane Society.
