December 23, 1961 – June 28, 2026

With heavy hearts, we announce the passing of Perry Victor Jacobson, 64, of Teulon Manitoba, who passed away peacefully on June 28, 2026, surrounded by his family after a courageous fight with cancer. He was a devoted family member, and a well-known member of his community. He cherished his moments with family and friends, and always had a joke to share. He is known for his quick wit and positivity, even in the hardest moments.

Perry leaves behind his mom, Monty Jacobson; siblings Tracey Vermette (Roger) and Mark Jacobson; nieces and nephews, Blake, Kelsey, Katlyn, Rachel (Riley), and Dean. He will also be deeply missed by his extended family and many dear friends.

Born on December 23, 1961, in Winnipeg, he spent his formative years playing hockey and spending time with friends. He spent many summers and weekends in Pleasant Home with his family, where he soon learned he wanted to reside. Perry moved to Teulon and made many memories riding his skidoo, quad, watching football games and going on trips with his friends. He also began working at an early age at Russel Metals, and retired after 40 years of service.

Those who knew Perry, knew he was kind and compassionate and would always lend a helping hand. Whenever you needed him, you just needed to call and he would be there. He was a man with a great sense of humour, teasing his nieces and nephews and joking with his friends. Perry will be greatly missed by all who knew him.

Many thanks to Dr. Graham and staff at the Stonewall hospital who treated Perry with kindness and dignity. A private family ceremony will be held in tribute to Perry. Should anyone wish to make a donation on his behalf, please make them to the Teulon Health Care Foundation or Saint Stephens Ukrainian Orthodox Church. 

Peacefully on Thursday, June 25th, 2026 (Richard William) Wayne Wood passed away at the age of 87 at the Teulon Hunter Memorial Hospital.

He leaves behind his wife, Eileen of 49 years; daughters Gail Routh (Edmonton), Wendy Choquette and grandson, Kaleb Choquette (LaBroquerie), son Kent Wood (Balmoral) and step-daughter Sherry (Glen) Weaver (Balmoral).

He was predeceased by his first wife Lorraine McKinnon; sister June Chuter; parents Cyril and Laura Wood, son-in-law Ron Choquette and daughter-in-law Ruth Davis and step-grandson Liam Weaver.

Born March 2, 1939, Wayne was raised, along with his sister June, by his parents who had settled in the Balmoral area in the late 1930’s. At 17, Wayne joined the Canadian Armed Forces and was eventually stationed at Gimli Air Force Base after having been trained as an Aero Mechanical Technician. After his discharge he married Lorraine McKinnon of Balmoral and they settled in the small town. There he started his own bread and bakery delivery service selling the McGavin’s brand and for many years serviced the rural farms and areas bringing baked goods and sugary treats to outlying families no matter the weather, and making a lot of friends along his route.

In 1973 he joined the newly opened Xerox of Canada Winnipeg office and trained as a copier technician which is where he stayed until receiving an early retirement package in 1994. Wanting to keep busy for a few more years, he acquired his Class 1 license and drove for Charison’s Turkey Hatchery until his final retirement in 2003.

In 1977, he had met and married Eileen McDowell and they, along with the kids moved to the Teulon area. Here Wayne enjoyed the company of his neighbours and being a “hobby farmer” at last, with a small cow/calf operation. He always enjoyed the spring calving season and baling hay as well as summer weekends and holidays at his family cottage in Laclu. He loved his speed boats; family holidays and the annual “Ball of Beer Weekend” with friends!

In 2003 he and Eileen sold their acreage and moved into Crescent Creek Park in Teulon which then enabled them to travel south to Arizona for the winter months until March 2020. During that time they made wonderful and lasting friendships in both their “northern” and “southern” homes.

Slowly Wayne’s later years were complicated with a diagnosis of vascular dementia in 2015, followed by metastatic bone cancer in 2023. He had to finally make the move to Teulon Hospital in September 2025.

Cremation has taken place with interment at Victoria Church Cemetery in Balmoral. A private celebration of Wayne’s life will be held at a later date.

We sincerely thank all the knowledgeable health care team and exceptional staff at Teulon Hospital for the kind and wonderful comfort care Wayne received during his stay and to Ken Loehmer for all his help and guidance.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be payable to I.E.R.H.A. in “Memory of Wayne Wood”, Teulon Hospital Rec Program, Box 89, Teulon, Manitoba, R0C 3B0 or a charity of your choice.

(Age 82 Years)

On June 22, 2026 at the usual time 9:30 am Helle went to her shed near the garden on the ½ acre behind their home. Some time later her husband Rich had occasion to look out the kitchen window – there she was: stricken by an obstruction to the blood flow in her brain, on the ground motionless unresponsive to attempts at revival.

In 1965 Helle emigrated from her native Denmark to join her sister Dorthe Lush, who resided in Vancouver with her two children.

She later met Richard Martin whom she married in 1972. In 1978 they moved to Winnipeg and in 2006 to Arborg.

Helle is survived by her husband Rich, two sisters in Copenhagen Denmark; Dorthe Lush, Lise-Lotte Schmidt and their respective families, including the previously deceased sister Edithe Guldbrandson.

There will not be a formal service, and for those inclined to purchase flowers. In order to convey their condolences, please make a contribution to a charity of your choice.

2026 would include Helle’s 83 birthday on July 31, her 54 wedding anniversary  on October 06 and the conclusion of her 20^th year in Arborg at home with Rich.

SEPTEMBER 16, 1939 – JUNE 20, 2026

Peacefully, with family by his side, Glenn Hogg passed away at the Stonewall Hospital on June 20, 2026 at the age of 86.

Glenn is lovingly remembered by his wife of 53 years, Margaret; his children Steven (Erin) Hogg and Lisa (Brock) Schmidtke; grandchildren Tyler, Trent, Evan and Natalie; brother Bruce (Pat) Hogg; sister-in-law Esther (Ross) Murison; brother-in-law Bob (Leslie) Moerman; and many nieces and nephews.

He was predeceased by his parents Bruce and Ruby Hogg; sister Donna Webb and brother-in-law Ernie Webb.

Dad was born on September 16, 1939 in the house on the family farm south of Warren.  In his younger years he enjoyed hunting, hockey and baseball.  Playing on teams that his father coached, Dad had NHL potential, but the pull of being on the farm and leaving home was not something he wanted to give up.

Dad and Mom married in December 1972 and they resided on the family farm, building a life together raising their two children.  Farming was his entire life until he retired in the late 1990’s and rented out the land.

Dad and Mom moved off the farm into Stonewall in December 2017, where they enjoyed the quieter lifestyle of apartment living, while still giving him time for crop checking.  Even though mobility issues kept Dad from doing things he loved, his mind remained sharp until the end.

We extend our thanks to the home care and hospital staff for their compassionate care and support.

At Glenn’s request, cremation has taken place and there will be no service.

We love you and we miss you.

September 28, 1939 – June 20, 2026

It is with great sadness we announce the peaceful passing of Bill at St. Boniface Hospital, surrounded by his family.  Bill is survived by his loving wife of 58 years, Carol, his daughters Carla (Dave), Andrea (Marilyn), and grandson Thor.

Bill is predeceased by his siblings Stanley, Sidney, Charles, Kenneth, Donald, James and Ellen. Raised in Stony Mountain, Bill answered a calling to the ministry and became an Anglican priest.  Throughout his career, he served parishes in the Carmen area and Winnipeg, touching the lives of many people through his compassion, wisdom and steadfast faith.  He was known for his warmth, gregarious nature, and ability to transform a simple conversation into a meaningful discussion.

An avid reader throughout his life, Bill built an extensive collection of books and could often be found with one in hand. He cherished time spent at the cottage, at Winnipeg Beach with his family.

Bill’s kindness and unwavering belief in the goodness of people touched countless lives. He will be deeply missed by his family, his many friends, and everyone fortunate enough to have shared a coffee, a conversation, or a chapter of life with him.

A private family burial will take place.

October 28th, 1951 – June 16th, 2026

                It is with very broken hearts we announce the loss of our beloved mother, grandmother and sister Cindy Procter (nee Graham).  With family by her side Mom passed in the Stonewall Hospital following a long and courageous battle with cancer.

                Cindy was predeceased by her husband Garry in 2019, not long after their 48th Wedding Anniversary.  Also predeceased by her parents Doug and Jean Graham and in-laws Sec and Lyle Procter.

                Surviving to mourn her loss are her sons Brett, Brad (Candace), and daughter Nadine (Jaret) Thiessen.  She will be greatly missed by her granddaughters Tiana, Alyssa-Lynn, Bryn-Lee and Tasha.  Her only sister Debbie (Lyle) Wicklund, as well as sister-in-law Gail (John) Sinclair and brother-in-law Orval (Merilee) Procter are sadly missing her too.  She will be fondly remembered by her nieces Rochelle, Holly and Courtney, and her nephews Darrell, Ryan, Mitch and Corey.  Cindy’s memory will also be shared by her great-nieces Emalia, Lily, Devon, Eberly and Neely, as well as her great-nephew Brayden.

                From the time she was very young Cindy and her family lived in Grosse Isle.  They made the move to Warren when her mother Jean bought the Warren Café.  It was after their wedding in 1971 that she moved to Woodlands.  Living on a mixed grain and beef farm was quite a change for her.  She was a stay at home mom for a number of years.  For her financial independence she kept a flock of laying hens and also raised and sold roasting chickens for several summers.

                She was a proud and protective mom.  She spent countless hours getting us to school and sporting events. She was encouraging of our participation in community, sporting, school and social events.  She loved us dearly and we always knew how special we were to her. 

As we got old enough to be left on our own mom went to work.  Many may remember her in Home Hardware in Stonewall.  She then worked for a time at Eaton’s Warehouse.  Her last thirty years were spent at Studlers Store in Woodlands, later known as CCL Woodlands.  Mom was a very community minded person and being at the store was a unique experience.  Not only did she get to know almost everyone in the surrounding area, as well as the travellers of number six highway, she witnessed the transformation of children into young adults and parents themselves.

                Mom was very active within the community of Woodlands.   Mom started as an active member of the Woodlands Rec Club.  She had a passion for baseball and curling.  As a youth she played baseball in Grosse Isle and then Teulon Cougarettes.  It was her favourite sport and she passed on that love by coaching many of the young girls in our community.  Mom was a life member of the Woodlands Legion, receiving her 50 year membership pin in 2025.  She was part of the legion committee that started the Woodlands Bingo.  For over forty years she not only volunteered at each bingo, she spent many hours as the treasurer.  The bingo was run jointly by the Legion and the Woodlands Hall board.  With that connection mom joined that organization as well.  The bingo was a huge financial support for both committees.  Mom was also a member of the Oak Park Lodge Board in Woodlands and spent time on the Justice Committee in Stonewall.  In 2004 mom received the Lieutenant Governor “Make a Difference Community Award” for the Interlake Region.  While happy to receive this recognition she said all the ones who worked with her were  just as deserving.

                The last six and a half years of mom’s life were spent navigating the loss of our dad and going through the hardships of her battle with cancer.  She faced her cancer battle with determination and incredible strength.  I am sure that is not a surprise to all that knew her.   Having the support of her family and many phone calls from old and new friends greatly helped keep her spirit alive.  Her long conversations with Donna, Marilyn, Diane, Arlene and Elaine were especially appreciated. 

                Mom you were an inspiration to us all.  Your 74 years have given ourselves and our community much to be missed.

                Service of remembrance will be held on Tuesday, June 30th at 1:00 at the Woodlands Community Hall.  In lieu of flowers, if you wish, donations may be made to the Woodlands Legion Branch 248, Box 210, Woodlands,  R0C-3H0 ( for building upgrades) or a charity of your choice.

It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of Judith Christine Dedrick-Williams on June 14, 2026.

Born on February 27, 1950, Judith made her home in Teulon, Manitoba, where she became a cherished member of the community and touched countless lives through her kindness, generosity, and dedication to others.

Judith shared many wonderful adventures with her late husband, Alan Williams. Together, they enjoyed road trips, especially their travels to Arizona, where they loved exploring and discovering unique treasures along the way.

Judith devoted her professional life to education as a junior high school teacher and guidance counsellor at Teulon Collegiate. She was passionate about helping young people reach their full potential and was respected by students, colleagues, and families alike for her compassion, wisdom, and unwavering support.

A dedicated volunteer and community advocate, Judith was an active member of the Lions Club and the Teulon Senior Resource Centre. She believed strongly in giving back and spent much of her life serving others, always ready to lend a helping hand wherever it was needed. Her generous spirit and commitment to her community left a lasting impact on everyone who knew her.

Judith will be lovingly remembered by her children, Debra-Anne, Helen and Alan; her three cherished grandchildren; her sister, Carolynn Derkach; her brother and sister-in-law, Matthew and Sheila Dedrick; her in-laws, Margaret Dedrick, Christine and Tony Hayhurst, and Terry and Mary-Ellen Williams; as well as her many nieces, nephews, extended family members, and friends.

The family would also like to extend a special acknowledgment and heartfelt thanks to Jillian Young for her guidance, support, and friendship over the past several years.

Judith will be remembered as a caring and selfless woman whose kindness, warmth, and dedication to others enriched the lives of so many. Her legacy of service, compassion, and community involvement will continue to inspire those who were fortunate enough to know her.

She will be deeply missed and forever remembered with love by her family, friends, former students, and all whose lives she touched.

In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests that donations be made to a local animal rescue organization in Judith’s memory.
