October 28th 1971 – September 12th 2025

It is with great sadness that we share Robert William McGregor passed away on Friday September 12th at the age of 53. He fought a courageous battle after complications due to his cancer treatment.

 Robert is predeceased by his parents Joyce and James McGregor, his brother Jim, his in – laws Mike and Savella Mankewich and sister – in – law Patti Mankewich.  He will be missed by his wife of 32 years Denise, his children Evan, Emily and Owen (Hope), his beloved kitties Buster and Milo, his sisters Judy (Dan) Eluik and Tammy McGregor, his sister – in – law Patricia McGregor. He will also be missed by his many in – laws Marge (Bob) Kohut, Virginia (Ken) Crockatt, Harvey (Allison) Mankewich, Julian Mankewich (Mary Gaddi), Nadine (Blair) Coolidge, Vernon (Joan) Mankewich, and his numerous nieces and nephews.

 Robert was a very proud man and will be fondly remembered for his love for his family and friends. Robert was a hard- working man both at work and at home. His work ethic rewarded him with enjoyment in his favourite places Orlando, Florida and many campgrounds (once the camper is parked). “Everywhere Rob” loved calling Stonewall home and the connections he made with friends, neighbours and acquaintances through spontaneous conversations (especially at the car wash).

 We would like to send a special thanks to the staff at Selkirk Regional Hospital, the staff in the ICU at the HSC and Dr. Dmytryszyn for the outstanding care of Robert and the family during this difficult time.

Service of Remembrance will be held on Saturday, September 20, 2025 at 11:00 AM at Royal Canadian Legion, Stonewall, Manitoba.

Peacefully on Friday, September 5, 2025 in the early morning hours, Mom passed away with family by her side.

She was predeceased by her parents Donald and Dora Carman and her father and mother- in- law Carl and Albertine Brocker. She is survived by her loving husband of 61 years Martin and their three children Darryl, Jeff, and Michelle (Wayne). She is survived by her four grandchildren Madison, Derek (Alex), Carter (Tansy) and Tyson (Jorja). She leaves her great grandchildren Calliope and Julianna. Also survived by brothers Barrie (Joanne), Morris (Elsie), sister Lorraine (Terry). Her sisters – in law Vicky Baril and Josie Brocker and numerous nieces and nephews.

Mom was born on January 24, 1942 to Donald and Dora Carman of Inwood, Manitoba. The eldest of four children. On November 14, 1964 her life with Dad began and on October 19, 1965 they welcomed their first born son Darryl and on March 2, 1967 their second son Jeff and on March 26, 1968 their daughter Michelle. Their family was complete and this allowed Dad to start building a life for us with a new home that same year and their farm life began. Dad worked in Winnipeg for a few years then farming became his full-time job. Mom stayed home to raise their kids and when needed square baled for Dad with the old 830 Case Tractor.

Mom loved to curl that was the sport she excelled in, skipping her own rink and enjoyed until getting into the hack was too hard to get out of. She curled at Teulon Curling Club and also curled in several bonspiels in the area and the famous all night bonspiels in Inwood. Mom loved to fish, not in a boat, she was scared of water but from shore when we brought in the catch for supper. We spent many weekends up at Lake St. George with good friends and family.

Mom loved to travel she was fortunate in her life to travel to Germany with Dad and connect with family which we still do to this day. We would travel in the truck and camper to Disneyland, Disney World and places in between. The best vacation we had was travelling to Mazatlan in our motorhome with Uncle John and Kirsten. That was a trip none of us will forget. Mom made sure we saw places that would make memories and we would never forget. I remember travelling on the train from Winnipeg to Halifax and then borrowing our friend’s car and going over on the ferry to Prince Edward Island. We saw Anne of Green Gables live and will never forget that experience and the memories I hold.

In later years Mom and Dad would spend there winters in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico until their health didn’t allow. Mom looked forward to those winter trips every year. Mom’s greatest accomplishment was being a caregiver for others. In the mid 80’s she looked after her uncle Bill in our home until he was admitted to hospital. She then looked after our grandma Brocker for several months until her health declined and she moved to Brandon with her daughter. That was her calling in life and made her feel needed. When my grandma passed away, she felt she needed to take a new direction in life so she took the homecare attendant course and started working for homecare. She worked for homecare for 15 years until she was unable to do the work and her health didn’t allow it. In 2018 she moved into Gateway Manor to better manage herself and her health. She continued to drive uptown to Blue Skies bakery for coffee everyday. She would sit with her coffee crowd, Vern Slater, Doreen Demianiw just to name a few and talk about what was happening in town and what crisis was happening in the world and why there was no peace and happiness. At the end of June, she was admitted to E.M. Crowe Hospital in Eriksdale and remained until her placement in Fisher Branch PCH. She knew at this point living in a carehome was not how she wanted to live life. She always lived life on her terms and that she was in control. That’s the way she wanted it and that’s when she made her decision that she wanted to live in peace. Our family would like to thank Eriksdale Hospital for the excellent care she received while there and making sure she was given all the opportunities to make her own decisions.

Our family would like to thank Fisher Branch Care Home and all the staff in every department for giving your attention and love to our mom. You all made her last days dignified and respectful. I hold all of you in high regard for everything you all did for her to make her end of life pain free and comfortable. I knew in my heart that the only facility we wanted her to live out her days was in Fisher Branch. You all showed our family what true caring and kindness is all about. To Mathew, Cici, Sharon, Gilbert and Candy you are the nursing staff that I cannot express how professional and caring you all were towards our mom. You showed what true nurses are all about and I cannot tell you how grateful I am towards the care you gave her. We are truly thankful. Our complete respect goes out to you all. Thank you is not enough words to express our gratitude.

Rest in peace Mom we hope you are at rest and can be free. Fly high Mom we love you!!

A graveside service will be held on Tuesday, September 16, 2025 at 12:00 noon at Windsor Cemetery, Teulon.

All are welcome to attend.

She enjoyed going to the Speedway to watch the races, watching and attending curling events, watching football and hockey events. Playing cards and board games were a regular occurrence. Mom’s world resolved around her family. She loved nothing more than visits with her family or travelling to spend time with them. Those who came to meet her fell in love with her, she had a heart of gold and a cheeky attitude that made her the amazing person she was. She loved nothing more than to have a chit chat on the phone or in person.  Last few years she enjoyed traveling with family and Sandy. Jamaica River Boat Cruise from Paris to Swiss Alps and 3 day train ride in the Alps and this past May an Alaskan Cruise.

Stewart will be lovingly remembered by friends Doug and Merlin, Rory, Reg and Linda; Aunt Annabella; Lana, Kelly and their sons; and cousins. Stewart was predeceased by his parents Fraser and Shirley Campbell.

Stewart was born on June 12^th, 1956 and lived and farmed in the Teulon and Gunton area his entire life. Stewart was a cattle farmer since a young adult farming with his dad on the family farm. Stewart was very devoted to his herd of cattle and always affectionately cared for his cows, cats and dogs. 

During his school years, Stewart played many sports of which hockey and baseball were his favourites. In his later years, his love for sports never changed, but instead of playing, he became an avid fan.  Stewart loved watching the Winnipeg Jets.

Stewart was thankful to have great friends that always treated him like family. Being a bachelor, he loved being invited over to visit, especially if it included a delicious homemade meal!

May 28, 1972-August 28, 2025

Through tears, shock, disbelief and heartache we announce the sudden and unexpected passing of Daniel Anderson, aged 53 years.

Dan was born on May 28th, 1972 in Ste. Rose du Lac. His family lived in Kinosota before moving to Winnipeg in 1975. He attended school in Transcona until the 1980’s when his family moved to a farm in Marquette, Mb.  

After graduation at Warren Collegiate, Dan obtained his class 1 driver’s licence and began a career as a long distance truck driver, which took him all over Canada and the USA.  Dan was waiting for a pickup call in Ontario for a Winnipeg delivery at the time of his death.

Dan could always be counted on to help when needed. Everything from helping people move, building decks and helping his Dad in the shop at Sprague Auto for 6 months.  Dan may not have said “I love you” often but his actions and his big bear hugs always made his feelings known.  

Known as “The Favourite Uncle” he wore this nickname as a badge of honour, often boasting of his nephews and niece of their accomplishments and close relationship to them.

Dan loved hunting, camping and spending time with family and friends. Dan loved to laugh, was always involved in some shenanigans, teasing and practical jokes. 

Dan is survived by his Mother Delores (Tim), Father Wayne (Shelley), brother John (Cindy), sisters Andrea (Merrick) and Melissa (Cameron). His nephews James (Jessica), Cory, Damien, Xander and Maddox. His nieces Jodi and Deidre (his DeeDee).

Cremation has taken place as per Dan’s wishes.  A Celebration of Life is being planned for a future date.

You have left a void in our hearts and that cannot be filled.  A good man gone too soon who loved us deeply and unconditionally and we will carry our memories of you always.     

Until we meet again, Rest in Peace.

July 01, 1959 – August 26, 2025

It is with profound grief that we announce the sudden passing of our beloved Husband, Dad, and Papa / Papa Bear. Dave died where he wanted to be, working as the 4th generation on the Cheyne family farm outside of Teulon.  He is survived by the love of his life, Audrey, daughters Chelsey (Roman), and Ashley (Nick), step-daughters Denise and Janine, and the apples of his eye – his grandchildren Brandt, Violet, and Emilee.  Also left to mourn him are his sisters, Val Dryden (Al), Joan Cheyne, and Leanne Lawrie and numerous nieces and nephews.  He is predeceased by his parents Charlie and Elma Cheyne (Johnson) and son-in-law Grant.

Dave was born and raised in Teulon, MB, where he graduated from Teulon Collegiate.  He went on to further his education at Red River College in carpentry, where he carried on his father’s passion for building – they were both very proud of their achievements in the community. Dave loved being a dad to his daughters, Chelsey and Ashley, and later a step-dad to Denise and Janine. Dave met Audrey in 1996 and were married on September 1, 2000 when they officially blended their families. 

Dave had many past times, but his favourite times were spent with his grandchildren. He was an avid outdoorsman – hunting, fishing and anything to do with nature. He loved looking up at the night sky. Wallace Lake was always his second home – where he loved to work and play. Dave would often extend an invitation to go frolic in the lake, only for him to turn it into a splash battle. 

In his younger years, there wasn’t a sport he didn’t play, be it hockey, baseball, golf, rugby, and even gymnastics. He was a natural born fixer and was often called upon by friends and family for pointers, and he loved to help people. Dave used these fixer skills at Charison’s Turkey Hatchery where he was hired for a three week stint and ended up staying there for over 28 years! Dave loved to joke with various people at different times, and you never knew when you would be “punked”.  He had a knack for remembering history and places and would often set up bets with people. If you were confident enough to bet against him, you would soon find out he was always right. He had many hobbies, many included food and drink as long as mustard and tofu weren’t involved.  Dave had a charm about him and made many cherished friendships over the years.

Special thanks to emergency personnel, friends, and family who were able to attend on scene.  Your efforts will not be forgotten.

With respect to Dave’s expressed wishes, a private, immediate family only service is being planned.

In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to Manitoba Mutts in his memory – where he adopted his beloved four-legged friend Ginger from. www.manitobamutts.org 

Our dear “Canada Dave” and a “Dave to Remember”.

June 4^th, 1930 – Aug 24^th, 2025

Anita was born in Durham England, the youngest child of John and Sybil Johnson and sister to David.

The family moved to Smarden, Kent shortly before the outbreak of the Second World War. A year later, Anita and her brother were sent away to the safety of boarding schools. Anita attended Queenswood School in Hertfordshire.

After completing her education at school Anita went to Newcastle to study physiotherapy but concluded quite quickly that it wasn’t for her. However during her time at physiotherapy college she did meet her future husband, Peter Wakefield Forster.

Anita and Peter were married in Smarden on April 3^rd, 1954.

Anita then went to secretarial college in London which led to an interesting and varied career with roles as secretary and personal assistant in the medical and legal fields. One in particular she was proud of was working with Sir Reginal Watson-Jones in London while he was the Queens Orthopedic Surgeon.

In 1957 Anita and Peter moved to Montreal, Canada and in 1959 they moved to Winnipeg, MB where they settled and adopted two girls; Jane and Nicola (Nici).

Anita returned to England with the two girls in the mid 1960’s. Over the following years, they lived an interesting life moving many times within England, Spain and the Isle of Man.

Following her retirement on the Isle of Man, Anita decided to move back to Canada to be near Nici and her son-in-law Troy but found the Winnipeg winters to be too cold. She moved to Penticton, BC for a number of years where she had a close circle of friends and enjoyed volunteering at the senior centre and Red Cross.

As she got older she decided to move back to Manitoba to be near Nici and built a small apartment onto Nici and Troy’s house at their pet boarding kennel in East St Paul. There she enjoyed the company of her family and the many animals.

Anita was rarely without a beloved pet cat and/or dog in her life and latterly enjoyed watching the birds, squirrels and other wildlife from her window at her home next to Nici and Troy in Komarno.
