Irene Mary Emms (nee Lecocq)

Obituary

Passed on

With great sadness we mourn the loss of our Mom, Irene Mary Emms (nee Lecocq). She stubbornly battled with cancer and chemo nearly took her life early this spring. After the decision to stop treatment she bounced back and gave so many wonderful memories to herself, family and friends.

Sadly on Oct. 23, 2024, surrounded by family and friends, cancer still won….. Eff cancer!

At the age of 71 Mom had many survivors, her brother David (Wanda), son Todd grandkids Harley, Cheyenne and Brooklyn, son Jarett (Carmen), grandkids James, Amber and Brandon, son Jeff (Amy), grandkids Jeffrey and Rowan, son Ross (Jodi), grandkids Jayden, Isaac, Brooklyn, Joseph, Chloe and Andrew, daughter Melissa, grandkids Ellie and Ezra, two great grandchildren as well as many other family and friends.

Mom was predeceased by her parents Albert and Gladys, her brother Stan and his wife Gail and her sister Carole.

With her youth in Treherne, and as Uncle Dave tried to explain “some field yard nearby” (likely uphill both ways) then on to Winnipeg and if you knew her just a couple stops through the years with the longest being in Inwood.

Honouring Mom’s request in lieu of a service we will have a come and go BBQ celebrating her life on Saturday November 16, 2024 from 12-5 at the CE building located beside the Teulon United Church at 80 3^rd Ave SE in Teulon, MB.

Burial will take place at a later date at the Haywood Cemetery.

In lieu of flowers a donation can be made in her memory to Colon Cancer Research.

The family wishes to thank the staff at Teulon Hospital that took great care of our Mom throughout the time she was in their care. A special thank you goes out to her friends Brandie and Lynn, as well as so many others, for the love and support they offered her.
