Marsha Olnick

Obituary

Passed on

Peacefully, with her family by her side, Marsha passed away at home on February 26, 2018; 9 months after being diagnosed with kidney cancer. She is survived by her husband Stephen; sons Matthew and Reid; her sister-in-law Susan and husband John Fulton of Cartier, MB and their children Farrah of Edmonton, AB and Cameron and wife Tammy of Thompson, MB. She was predeceased by her parents Ruth and Mike Dushenko, as well as her father and mother-in-law Nicholas and Ruby Olnick. Marsha was born in Winnipeg on December 30, 1954 and lived in St. James as a young girl before moving to Charleswood at the age of nine. She attended school there, graduating from Charleswood Collegiate. She was accepted into the Misericordia School of Nursing, graduating as a registered nurse in 1976 She worked at Grace Hospital initially, and then was hired by Seven Oaks General Hospital when it opened in 1980. She worked on the surgical nursing units, day surgery, the recovery room, and then in the operating room until her retirement. Marsha met Steve while in high school. They married in 1983 and moved to the farm at Stonewall where they raised their two sons. She was very proud of their endeavours and accomplishments. Retirement gave her the opportunity to spend more time on the things she enjoyed, like gardening, reading, and baking. Many hours were spent in the flower gardens arranging the plants to her satisfaction. Marsha enjoyed going to car shows in the US. The swap meet in Grand Rapids was a special favourite. She always found new ornaments for her garden there. The Crookston show was an opportunity to visit with friends that she only saw once a year. In keeping with Marsha’s wishes, no service will be held. Cremation has taken place and a private family interment will take place at Grund at a later date. In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to Cancer Care Manitoba Foundation, 1160-675 McDermot Avenue, Winnipeg, MB, R3E 0V9, to be directed to kidney cancer research. The family would like to thank Dr. Vamsee Torri and nurse Denise Klassen of Cancer Care Manitoba for their care and guidance. Góða nótt els
