Isla Magdalene Hagborg (Dack)
Obituary
Passed on
June 14, 1942 – June 3, 2026
It is with great sadness we announce the passing of Isla Hagborg, Mother, Grandmother, Sister, Aunt, and friend, at the age of 83.
Mum was born June 14, 1942 and passed away the morning of June 3, 2026 at the Stonewall Hospital. Left to cherish her memory are son Robert (Renée), daughter Bonnie (Wayne), her three grandchildren Alex Hagborg (Claire), Marshall Hagborg (Tia), and Jasper Bain. She will be greatly missed by them as well as sisters Lorna McDonell (Doug) and Jean Campbell, sisters-in-law Elaine Gusta (Larry) and Edie Simonson, as well as numerous nieces, nephews, and cousins. Mum was predeceased by Dad (Walter), parents Conrad and Betty Dack, in-laws Harry and May Hagborg, and brothers-in-law Carl Simonson and Clive Campbell.
Mum grew up on the farm in Warren, Manitoba. Mum eventually met Dad and proceeded to build our family farm (Mallard Acres Ltd.) near Meadows. Throughout her life, Mum thoroughly enjoyed playing and watching baseball (she was a BlueJays superfan), golfing, and curling as well as picking berries. Mum liked to host family events and participating in the community. Mum’s most treasured achievement was her role as President of the Manitoba Ladies Curling Association, and she co-chaired the 1991 World Curling Championship in Winnipeg. She was inducted into the Manitoba Curling Hall of Fame for her contributions to the sport. Mum loved gardening and always encouraged us to be all we could be growing up. Mum really loved her 3 grandchildren and she was so proud of them.
Mum and Dad were able to retire from farming in 1991 and eventually moved to Warren and then to Stonewall. Mum and Dad spent 25 wonderful years travelling and spending winters down south.
We are grateful that Mum is no longer in pain and was able to leave this world on her terms. She has been cremated and her ashes will be placed by Dad so that they will be together again.
At Mum’s request, there will be no service. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to a charity of your choice.

My sincere condolences to Isla’s family. I have so many fond memories of playing softball with your mom and over the years whenever we met, she recalled those days, but also had an interest in what was going on in my family’s life as well. Our last visit was on the golf course last summer where she was as keen as ever! I’m sure you will cherish the memories of her and her extreme pride in both her children and grandchildren.
