Words cannot express the profound sadness and grief to announce Adam’s unexpected passing.

Adam is survived by his loving mother Patricia, sisters Carla (Rob) and Erica (Wes), his nephew and nieces as well as extended family members and friends.  Adam was predeceased by his father in 2023 and we believe his heart just couldn’t take separation from his best hunting buddy.  

Adam loved the outdoors from a young age. He filled many days hunting, fishing, getting occasionally chased by the rooster at the farm, and doing anything to avoid school work. Adam’s charisma and easy going spirit made him a joy to be around in his youth. As an adult Adam prevailed over the symptoms of his schizophrenia diagnosis by living independently, maintaining family relationships and working a variety of jobs. It was a big accomplishment when Adam earned his GED in 2012. 

Adam had a peaceful and generous spirit and now a clear mind too. He was a big part of his family and is dearly missed.

A private interment was held on October 6, 2024 at the Windsor Cemetery in the RM of Rockwood, MB. A come and go celebration of life was held in Winnipeg. We would like to thank Adam’s support team for caring for Adam alongside his family all these years. In Adam’s memory, please consider donating to Harvest, lend a hand where you can, and plan to spend the rest of the day out fishing.

June 16, 1943 – September 25, 2024

“The mind may not remember, but the heart will never forget”

It is with deep sorrow we announce the passing of our Mother, June Grayson, on September 25, 2024. Mom passed peacefully in the comfort of her own home.

Moms memory is cherished forever by her children, Rick (Darlene) and Lisa; grandchildren Bryce(Richelle), Kyle(Danielle), Tyler, Kelsey(Doug), Grant(Thomas) and Hailey(Cynthia) as well as 6 great grandchildren; brother Bill; special niece Lynn Linklater and her daughter Tammy Rakar.

Mom was born in Stonewall where she continued to live until her passing. She married Dad, Richard Grayson, March 9, 1963 and celebrated 60 years together before his passing last year. Mom worked beside Dad in his business ventures but her passions were more earthy and artistic. She was a beautiful seamstress in her day and enjoyed crafting. Reading was a favorite pastime but come early spring she was proud to be part of “the garden girls” where gardening and socializing grew deep roots. As time moved on their trips to the warm south in the winter turned into trips to the hockey rink to watch the grand and great grandchildren on the ice. Her grandchildren and great grandchildren had a very special place in her heart. Mom always had a smile for family and friends, even in her last days.

A special thank-you to Dr. Graham for your care over the years and most importantly your patience, compassion and understanding towards the end. Mom got her wish and passed at home. We are forever grateful. The care team between Stonewall Hospital, our care coordinator, home and palliative care and the IERHA were exceptional. We cannot thank-you enough.

Cremation has already taken place. Internment will take place next year and Mom and Dad will be buried together. Mom I know you are happy in heaven and laughing with Dad. You are finally free.

 If you so wish, donations can be made to the Interlake Foundation or a charity of your choice.

“My mind still talks to you

My heart still looks for you

But my soul knows you are at peace

I miss you every single day”

October 25, 1940 – September 24, 2024

It is with sadness we announce his passing at the Arborg Personal Care Home. William was born on the family homestead in Silver Manitoba.

He was predeceased by his parents Michael & Pearl (Klym) Melnychuk, Brothers: John, Paul, Peter, Nick, Sisters: Lena Romance, Ann Rigey, Teenie Buchko, Nettie Melnychuk and two siblings in infancy. He is survived by sisters: Val Symynyshen, Sophie Gierys, Mary Mozol, Eva Podolsky, brother Steve (Sharon) and numerous nephews and nieces.

William worked alongside his brother Steve as a caterpillar operator, helping build roads and clear brush all over Manitoba for many years. However, being on the crawler with a brushcutter was definitely what he liked best.

One of his proudest accomplishments was working at Oak Hammock Marsh, a symbol of his contribution to Manitoba’s development. He volunteered in his local community and helped with the site preparation of the Silver Community Hall spending endless hours digging out stones and levelling the ground. Later he helped prepare the site where the Arborg Ag Society rodeo is held in Silver. He was always willing to help a neighbour.

Known for his warm, friendly nature William made friends with everyone he met along the way. Whether it was at Auction sales, Arborg Chicken Chef or at social functions.

When not working in construction, William worked tirelessly on the family farm, raising cattle, cultivating the land and growing grain with Steve. He enjoyed his trips to the Ashern Auction Mart especially when our cattle were being sold in January. He took pleasure in watching the sales and having Buddy Bergner calling out his name over the speaker when sales were complete. He may not have been a good speller but he never needed a calculator when it came to adding the expected total of sales in his head. The kitchen table had many papers with calculations of some sort on it at all times.

William spent most of his life on the farm established by his father in 1909 and was immensely proud to be part of the century farm celebration in 2009, a testament to his deep connection to the land and his family’s legacy. He was proud to show visitors the plaque he received designating it as Century farm.

William always looked forward to the fall, when the American hunters would arrive to hunt geese. The first visitors arrived in 1980 until covid stopped travelling. He would drive them around scouting possible hunting lands and introducing them to the local farmers. He enjoyed the camaraderie and exchanging of stories. He continued to communicate with them and they became part of our extended family till today.

His friendships extended far beyond Manitoba into other provinces and the USA. He would phone them keeping them informed on what was happening on the farm and in the Interlake. William had the opportunity to travel to Maui, Hawaii where he captured countless memories through the many photos he took. He also travelled to visit his former neighbours in British Columbia Bud & Anna Kuzenko. He treasured their friendship and called them often with updates of happenings in Silver.

With a jolly personality, big smile and infectious laugh, (he was always laughing) his home on the farm became a welcoming place for friends. His kitchen was a gathering spot where everyone who drove into the yard was invited in for coffee, a sandwich and especially cookies.

Later in life he was diagnosed with stage 2 diabetes and his lifestyle had to change. He was no longer able to eat the cookies and pastries he so enjoyed. This was extremely hard and a constant struggle. He did keep pastry on hand for guests.

In September 2021 he moved to Sunrise Lodge in Arborg as he required assistance and diabetic monitoring. It was a hard adjustment leaving his homestead. Once he needed more care he was then admitted to the Arborg Personal Care Home in February 2023 until his passing.

The family would like to extend its gratitude to Dr. Donnelly for his care over the years while in the community, along with the Home Care Staff and Nurses, also the Arborg Personal Care Home staff.

Funeral Services will be held on Saturday, October 12 at 11:30 am at Silver Community Hall.

In lieu of flowers, treat a friend, neighbour, stranger to a cup of coffee and a cookie or make a donation to Silver Community Centre or the Silver Hall in his memory.

Eternal Memory Vichnaya Pamyat

Ken loved and took pride in his woodworking, making gifts for his family, friends, and donated many pieces to local charities, Ken enjoyed many interests throughout the years. This included many trips throughout Canada and camping with family. His greatest pastime was going to community dances with Emily and smiling and laughing throughout the dance floor.

Peacefully surrounded by loved ones, Luanne Mounk passed away unexpectedly at St. Boniface Hospital on September 18, 2024

Mom is survived by loving husband Murray, daughters Michelle and Rachel, sons Jeff (Jessica) and Stevens, stepchildren Andrea (Julian) and Nick. Grandchildren Max, Leah, Brynn, Aubrey, Elle, Callen, Joey, siblings Dale, Glen, Dennis, niece Amy (Brian) and nephew Chris.

Predeceased by father Maurice and Mother Doreen and many feline friends.

Born Nov 24^th, 1960, in Thunder Bay Ontario, Mom’s love for animals was evident at an early age. She would try to adopt cats, dogs, and rabbits, however much to her chagrin her father would not allow her to keep them.

In the summer of 1976, the family moved to Fort Frances Ontario. Mom showed her independence by choosing to stay in Thunder Bay to finish school. She graduated from Hammerskjold High School.

After graduation Mom moved to Fort Frances. She had worked and saved to backpack through Europe alone. Mom was very independent even as a teen.

After extensive travelling Mom would settle in Winnipeg Manitoba. In 1982 she became the proud mom of daughter Michelle, followed by Rachel in 1983 and Jeff in 1985. Our brother Steven joined the family in 1997 at our home in Wolseley.

A proud single Mom she had always put her children’s needs before her own. She took us on many camping trips and supported us immensely in every way imaginable.

In 1982 Mom had a chance encounter with Ray and Barb Hignall along with son Brad. This meeting would ignite the start of a home daycare that ran for 18 years. Many of the relationships built continued to the present day. This provided her with the ability to raise her family in a beautiful home.

In 1999 Mom decided to finally do something for herself and attend the University of Manitoba. This was to follow her dream of becoming a social worker. She would often bump into her daughter Michelle on campus.

Mom spent most of her career at the Louis Riel School division until retirement in December of 2023. A giving and caring nature would enable her to go above and beyond. This included children and families for whom she provided service. Her LRSD colleague and friend Lynne also became a travel buddy.

In 2009 Mom became Grandma with both daughters giving birth within a two-month span. Being a grandmother came natural to her extending the same love and unwavering support she had shown her children.

In 2013 Mom went on a blind date with the love of her life Murray. They bonded quickly over their love of travel, family, and beaches. They saw the world together on dream vacations. This culminated in a four-month trip through Asia, that she planned on her own. They settled in Matlock Manitoba which they had visited on their third date. They planned to spend retirement near the water.

Mom and Murray tied the knot on April 29^th, 2024, in a personal ceremony on a beach in Bali.

Growing up with three brothers, Mom would come to love sports. A huge fan of the Winnipeg Blue Bombers, she had season tickets for years. Mom also had a love for gardening, her flowers even won an award. Her lilies were known by many.

Being the giving person she was Mom of course had a huge love for Christmas. She was also known for volunteering often without any recognition.

She touched the lives of many people, and the family is appreciative of the outpouring of support being expressed.

Big thanks to Stars Ambulance and the staff at the ACCU unit of St. Boniface Hospital. The care and compassion received was excellent. Also, thanks to Ken Loehmer for his continued support.

A celebration of life will be held at Winakwa Community Club in Winnipeg Manitoba on October 4^th 2024 at 2:00 pm.

animal. Dad took pleasure being a member of the Rockwood
