Mom’s pastimes were playing bingo with her friends, keeping us all up to date to all new shows, movies that were worth watching. 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.

Predeceased by her husband Dennis, her parents Les and Emily Jamieson, daughter Twylia, son Troy, Sister Shirley, niece Connie, nephew Danny.

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 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.

November 6^th/1936 to August 20^th/2025

January 11, 1937 – August 18, 2025

It is with profound sadness that we announce that Alan James, husband, father, grandfather, and great-grandfather, went home to Jesus in the early hours of Monday, August 18, 2025 at the age of 88.  

Alan is survived by his wife Natalie (nee Ozirney), his children Brent, Brad (Candace), and Tracey (Alvin), his grandchildren Jasmyn, Tanner (Kaitlyn), Madison (Jeremiah), and Brooke-Lynn, and his great-grandchildren Jaylen and Levi. 

Alan was predeceased by his sister Evelyn Corrigal.

Alan was born in Grosse Isle in 1937, the oldest of four siblings.  In 1944 Al’s father died in World War II when he was seven years old.  Needing to help contribute to the family finances, Al quit school at the end of grade 8 and joined the workforce. 

On July 1, 1961, Al met the love of his life, Natalie Ozirney.  They were married four short months later on October 28th.  In 1963 they made the move out to Richmond, BC where Al went to trade school for welding.  In February of 1964 they were surprised by the birth of twin boys.  Feeling homesick, they returned home to Grosse Isle in 1965, and a year later welcomed their daughter.

In 1967 evangelist, Billy Graham, came to speak in Winnipeg and Al and Nat were there.  It was on that day that their lives changed forever as they both accepted Jesus to be Lord and Saviour of their lives.  The rest of Alan’s life can only be described as a life lived of unwavering faith in Christ.  If you ever crossed paths with Al, whether you were a close friend or a stranger, he would make sure you left knowing about Jesus.

Later in life Al and Nat started travelling, visiting Ukraine twice, England three times, Israel four times, Portugal, Egypt, Ireland, and France where Al’s dad is buried. 

After living in the Stonewall area for almost 40 years, they moved to Inwood, MB where Alan spent the last 14 years living next door to his daughter, grandchildren, and later, great-grandchildren.  Having Al next door has been such a blessing to all of us and he will be greatly missed.

Funeral services will be held at New Life Church in Stonewall on Wednesday, August 27th at 2:00 p.m.

Alan’s family would like to send our sincerest thanks to the nurses and health care aides on Medicine 4 at the Selkirk Regional Health Centre.  Their kind and compassionate care extended not only to Al, but also to us.

In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to Bethel Rays of Hope Ministries.

September 4, 1930 – August 18, 2025

It is with a heavy heart that we announce the passing of our beloved Mum, Margaret Blowers, who left us peacefully at home on August 18, 2025, just shy of her 95th birthday.

Margaret was born on September 4, 1930, in Transcona, MB. She was predeceased by her parents William and Grace, her brothers Jim and Loren, her sister-in-law Betty, and her husband Ralph, with whom she shared 51 years of marriage. 

She is lovingly remembered by her children Verna (Spring), Ray (Tammy), and Curt (Ochie). Grandchildren:  Daniel (Nicole), Jay (Jocelyn), Michael (Lacey), Shawn (Lauren), Derek (Jessica), Talea (Connor), and Riley. Great-grandchildren:  Gus, Jaques, Grayson, Aubrey, Ella, Liam, Emberleigh, Teylie, Sophie, Owen, Madison, and Avelin. She also leaves behind her niece Rhonda (David), Krys and Sam, and many other nieces and nephews who loved her dearly.

Margaret married Ralph on September 16, 1950, together they built a life in Woodlands, Manitoba, where they started the Blowers family farm and raised their three children. The family home, filled with decades of love, laughter and memories, remained her most cherished place. It was there, in her favourite chair, that she found comfort each day and where she remained until her peaceful passing.

Maggie, as Ralph lovingly called her, was a caregiver in every sense of the word. Throughout her life, she looked after each of her closest family members at one time or another, and extended that same compassion to the many people she cared for as a dedicated home care worker within the community. She had a gift for making others feel nurtured and at ease.

Her love for cooking and baking was well known, her kitchen was rarely without a freshly made pie, cake, or batch of cookies, and no one ever left her kitchen on an empty stomach. Maggie also found great joy in tending to her yard, especially mowing the lawn on her riding mower, a task she proudly continued until the age of eighty-eight.

Her family extends heartfelt gratitude to those who supported Mum with love and care: Maureen, Bonnie, Joanna, Lisa, and Marjorie, our Earth Angels, whose dedication made it possible for her to stay at home, we are forever grateful. Thank you also to Karen from Nav Care for her weekly visits (and to Gwen for arranging), Dan from the Alzheimer’s Society, Dr. Masek and Dr. Joseph, Jason and Trevor from the pharmacy who always answered my questions. Lindsay from Palliative Care, Laurie from Home Care, to Edie for the telephone calls that mum always cherished. A special thank you to Rhonda who came from Vancouver to give her love and support on many occasions, to mum you were considered a daughter and to me a sister. Each of you played a meaningful role in Mum’s journey, and our gratitude is endless.

Margaret was a devoted daughter, wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, neighbour and friend. A pillar in the Woodlands community, her kindness and love will be remembered always. Her legacy lives on in the hearts of all who were blessed to know her.

A Celebration of Life will be held on Tuesday, September 2, 2025, at 2:00 p.m. at the Woodlands Hall, Woodlands, Manitoba.

October 30, 1971- August 17, 2025

It is with profound sadness we announce the passing of Clint Dzuba at the age of 53, surrounded by his loving family on Sunday August 17, 2025.

Clint will be enormously missed by the love of his life and wife of 26 years, Angie; loving children Julie & Matthew; mother Anne; sister Nicole; numerous family & friends.

Clint was predeceased by his grandparents Matt & Agnes Dzuba, John & Mary Boitson; father Bill Dzuba; brother Wesley Dzuba.

Clint was born on October 30, 1971 and raised in the Komarno/Pleasant Home area. His early childhood education took place at Komarno School followed by Teulon Collegiate for his junior high and high school years where he graduated in 1990.

On August 20^th, 1995 Clint and Angie had their first date, fell in love and he knew from that moment he would marry her one day. They married on July 3, 1999 and started their life together and raised two wonderful children who he was very proud of. On March 5, 2002 his baby girl Julie was born, then on July 13, 2005, during the addition and big house renovation, his little man, Matthew came along.

Clint’s work life consisted of his first job at Interlake Supply Center in Gunton during his teenage years, then he went off to Poplarfield and worked on a farm for Rocky Wallack. Clint took up driving and hauled pigs across Canada for Cotswold. He found that driving was his passion so he went on to get his Class 1 license. He worked for Dola Brothers for a brief period then finally Mark Brandt Trucking where he built many life long relationships. Clint drove for Mark for ten years until the passing of his father when he then took over the family farm. Clint always said even though he is farming now, he’d always be a truck driver.

Clint had an amazing amount of friends and made countless memories – most of them involving speed, squealing tires, roaring engines, mud, music & of course alcohol. Clint was the hardest working person who would drop everything and give anything to help someone out. Clint was strong but so gentle, the biggest teddy bear and yet would do anything that needed to be done to protect his family.

We would like to express gratitude to the EMT’s who responded to the 911 call and tried everything to bring Clint back to us and also to the huge support team of family & friends.

A funeral will be held at the Teulon Hall on Saturday, September 6, 2025 at 11:00 AM, followed by interment at Pleasant Home Cemetery.

In honour of Clint’s memory, we ask everyone to raise their glass to the greatest guy who touched so many lives.
