Solange "Sally" Legal

With heavy hearts, we announce the passing of Solange "Sally" Legal on November 4, 2024, at the age of 63. Growing up on her family’s farm in Ste. Genevieve, Mb, Solange developed a strong work ethic, and a lifelong love for animals and living a rural life.

As a young woman, Solange moved to Steinbach, where she worked at A&W for 27 years, making many friends and brightening the lives of all she served. As well as the many employees who came and went, over those many years. Later, Solange found fulfillment working at Villa Youville(cooking) and the Ste. Anne Hospital(housekeeping). In each facility, her kindness touched countless lives.

Solange is survived by her son Daniel, daughter-in-law Lisa, and her cherished grandchildren, Abby and Ethan. Her beloved spouse, Richard Masterman, also survives her. They shared many treasured memories from their travels to England, Mexico, and special family trips to Florida. Solange especially loved time spent when Dan and his family visited their cabin near Manigotogan. There, she enjoyed the outdoors, fishing, and making memories with Richard, other close family members and friends.

She also leaves behind her parents, Helene and Charles, her siblings Gerald (Gale), Jeanne (Wayne), Monique, Laurent (Kerry), Henri (Mary-Ann), Maurice (Michelle), Joanne. As well as other sister and brother in laws from Richards family; Sue, Barb (Dave) and Bruce (Karen). Also, numerous nieces, nephews, and cousins.

A celebration of Solange’s life will be held on November 16 at 1:00 PM at Crossview Church, 345 Loewen Blvd, Steinbach, MB. For those unable to attend in person, the family invites you to join them through livestream. Please see below to view.

In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to CancerCare Manitoba.

The family extends heartfelt thanks to the Bethesda Hospital staff for their compassionate care during Solange’s stay, and to CancerCare in Steinbach and Winnipeg for their support over the past three years.
