Notice biographique
Alfreda Jean Attrill was born in Minden, Ontario on July 31, 1877, but grew up near Dauphin, Manitoba. She began teaching in Northern Manitoba in 1898, but decided to enter the Winnipeg General Hospital School of Nursing programme in 1906. She graduated in 1909 and remained at the hospital until 1914. On August 5, 1914, she enlisted to serve overseas, the first Winnipeg nurse to do so, with the Nursing Sisters of Manitoba. At the conclusion of the war, she was awarded the Royal Red Cross Medal. When she returned to Canada in 1919, she began her work with Winnipeg's Department of Public Health. Alfreda was also heavily involved in the St. John Ambulance Association beginning in 1911. In 1924 she became the Superintendent of the Fort Garry Division. She served as a Serving Sister of St. John from 1933 to 1936. She was proclaimed a Dame of Grace of the St. John Ambulance Association in 1966. One year later, the Association named her a Dame of Justice. Alfreda Attrill passed away on October 14, 1970.
