Marlaine Cecelia McDonald (Oehlerking)
Obituary
Passed on
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved Wife, Mother and Granny at the age of 73 on Monday, December 29th, 2025
Marlaine Cecelia McDonald (Oehlerking), born on February 2nd 1952 passed unexpectantly on Monday Dec 29th 2025. She has gone to join her mom Cecelia and dad William (Lawrence) Oehlerking. Marlaine spent her early years in Libau, MB, then moved to Selkirk, MB where she raised her own family. Years later made the courageous move to Teulon, MB to care for her father and start a new chapter of life.
Marlaine will be lovingly remembered and greatly missed by her children, and grandchildren, Shannon Chanas, Bryce and Shailee; Lloydiene (Michael) Smith, Hayden and Mindy; Curt Chanas (Lindsey), Leighton and Norah; Her sisters Doreen Hunnie and Gloria Pizzy and many nieces and nephews. She will also be sadly missed by her surviving husband, Bob McDonald and children, Robin Drohomereski (Kurt), Hayley (Kurtis), Alivia, Ryatt; Robert McDonald, Hayden and Nixyn; Derek McDonald, Mallory; As well as many extended family and precious friends.
Mom will be forever remembered as a hard worker, baker, and for her pleasing personality. She often gifted her baked goods, homemade pickles and whatever else she stirred up in her loving kitchen. She had a heart of gold, positive personality and a laugh that lit up a room. She enjoyed anything outdoors, fishing, camping, cutting grass and digging in the mud of her precious gardens. Her retired life was spent playing NCI bingo every Saturday, watching for hummingbirds on her deck with a LABATT’S LIGHT in her hand, country music, bonfires, visiting her special Teulon friends, feeding wild animals and enjoying the scenery while traveling her known dirt roads.
We would also like to send a special thanks to Bev, Grant and Steph for your support on Dec 29th, Marlaine valued your friendship over the years.
As per Marlaine’s wishes, a private service will be held at a later date.
In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the charity of one’s choice.
