Amber Bear

Amber Victoria Bear was born Saturday, December 30, 2000 in The Pas, Manitoba. She grew up in Pukatawagan and attended Sakastew School. Her hobbies were listening to music, spending time with her friends laughing, walking around and visiting them. She loved reading, watching TV and helping her granny with chores at home. She loved to babysit her nieces and nephews and little cousins. Amber would always go pray with all of her grannies and would usually lead the rosary. She always made friends wherever she went. Amber never failed to tell her brothers and sisters that she loved them dearly and called everyone of us “Bro” including aunties and uncles. Amber passed away unexpectedly Wednesday, February 10, 2016 at the PICU Children’s Hospital, Heath Sciences Centre, Winnipeg, Manitoba, with family and friends by her side, at the age of 15 years. She will be missed for her smile and loud laughter.
