Our family is deeply saddened to announce the passing of Barry Leo in the early morning hours of Wednesday July 8, 2026 at the Teulon Hospital Transitional Care Unit.  Barry was predeceased by his wife Shirley; his sister, Constance Drebit and brother-in-law Steve Drebit. Left to cherish his memory and love, daughter June (Perry) McMahon, sons B Dean Jeske and Perry Jeske, granddaughter Dr. Kristin (husband Vincent) McMahon, Andrew (friend Marissa) McMahon, great granddaughter Liv and brother-in-law Raymond (Monique) Mayner, many nieces, great nieces, nephews and great nephews as well our extended family of Joan Trombo’s.

Barry was born in Teulon, Manitoba on February 26, 1944 and grew up within Teulon.  Ever the athlete, Barry played a number of sports such as footfall, baseball, hockey during his high school years and then an avid curler and golfer in adulthood. Barry would later coach June and the Northern Goose Girls Fastball team for many years, winning many Provincial Championship titles and playing in the Western Canadians and Canadian National championships.  Dad’s work career started in his teenage years when he worked in the Meat Locker with his Dad, Leo. He graduated from Red River College as an Accountant and worked at number of different places such as the TD Bank, Health Science Centre, South Interlake Credit Union, Northern Goose Processing Ltd and eventually, Interlake Electric Ltd.  He enjoyed working at Interlake Electric so much he did not retire until September of 2025 (after 27 years of service) at the age of 81. Barry also enjoyed volunteering within the Community:  a Fireman with the Teulon Fire Department, member of the Teulon HealthCare Foundation, Chairman of the Board for Gateway Manor, member of Teulon Golf and Country Club and member of St Peter Lutheran Church.  He conducted the financial audits for quite a number of organizations in Teulon for 35+ years.

One of Barry’s favourite pastimes was fishing.  He really enjoyed fishing with his family and friends, especially on the Red River where he usually managed to catch Master Angler catfish on more than one occasion (kept a book with all his certificates).  Barry also enjoyed traveling/visiting many countries and going on many cruises with Shirley.  Highlight of their travels was visiting son Perry in Miami, FL every winter.  Barry really loved to go camping with family and friends, especially his camping trips with the cousins and camping with June, Perry, Kristin and Andrew.  Barry’s first love:  His Family. Barry always made time to attend his children, grandchildren, and great grandchild’s events whether it be sports (many many sports), music, arts, dance recitals or birthday parties.  Barry also enjoyed playing cards into the wee hours of the night with friends, sitting around having coffee, chatting up with family and friends.  Father’s Day was always special to Barry as it meant it was a wiener roast with family. He loved roasting wieners on an open fire and eating those hot dogs.

The family would like to thank the medical staff, nurses, therapists and health care aides of the Selkirk Regional Health Centre, the Selkirk Transitional Care Unit and the Teulon Hospital Transitional Care Unit for all their care for Barry.  Special thanks to all family and friends that came to visit Barry in the hospital and TCUs.  The staff were always amazed of how many visitors he had; he was loved by so many.

With heavy hearts the family of Karen Elizabeth Hirst are deeply saddened to share that she has passed away at the Gimli Hospital after a six-year battle with cancer. She was born in Winnipeg on July 23rd, 1959 and passed peacefully surrounded by her loving family on July 5th, 2026.

Left to mourn her loss is her loving husband Brent, and the centre of her world their son, Brett (Kirstyn). Also left to mourn is Karen’s mother, Trudy Smith-Harris, sisters Peggy Loewen (David) and Wendy Kroeker (Ron), brother Jeff Erhardt (Tracy), and sisters-in-law Lea Workman and Kerry Voogt (Harry), along with numerous nieces, nephews, and friends. Karen was predeceased by her stepfather, John Harris, in-laws Margaret and John Hirst, and sister-in-law Jo-Ann Jensen (Tom).

Karen fought with all her will, however, after all options were exhausted, we had to accept her fate. Karen’s concern was always for her family, not herself. She was particularly devoted to her son, Brett and made sure he had all her love and support. She was a person who wanted to help others, always making people feel welcome and loved. Her kindness and honesty drew people to her. Karen loved to entertain and was known for her exceptional cooking skills and attention to detail.

Upon finishing school, she started working at Shoppers Drug Mart, where she worked with incredible dedication for 43 years until the time of her diagnosis.

Our family wants to express our heartfelt gratitude to everyone who supported us during this challenging time. We’d like to thank our family doctor, Dr. Mark Boroditsky and her cancer care team, Dr. Kean, Dr. Popowich, and Dr. Robertson. We also want to thank the amazing staff and chemo nurses at the Gimli Hospital, especially Julie, Donna, Tanis, Loren, and Amanda, who made all Karen’s treatments as comfortable as possible. To our friends and neighbours who brought meals, flowers, and for just being there for us whenever we needed them, we are so incredibly blessed and grateful.

In keeping with Karen’s wishes, a private Celebration of Life is planned and Interment at a later date. Flowers are gratefully declined. In memory of Karen her family ask you to do something nice for someone today.

Anne was deeply proud of each of her children and the wonderful adults they have all become. She always enjoyed our family gatherings and one of the greatest ways she showed love was through cooking and baking. Anne was devoted to their farm. Anne spent countless hours in the kitchen preparing meals for family and friends, who would stop in or be working on the farm and no one ever left hungry. She spent many hours tending to her garden and family and friends would enjoy the fruits of her labor. Anne led by example from her work ethic, kindness, generosity, compassion, the importance of telling the truth and always putting others first. She will be remembered as an extremely caring and selfless person. Anne had an extraordinary gift for making people she loved feel cherished, never forgetting a birthday or special occasion. Family and friends could always count on a thoughtful card, a phone call, or warm wishes that made their day brighter. In her later years, Anne and Ken looked forward to enjoying part of their winters in Florida.

At Anne’s request there will be no funeral and a private family interment will take place at a later date. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to St. Peter Lutheran Church in Teulon.

Anne’s family would like to thank all of the staff at the Selkirk Regional Health Centre for the kind and wonderful care Anne received. We would also like to thank Ken Loehmer for his help and guidance during this difficult time.
