BEVERLEY JOAN MACHAN Born June 29, 1934, died peacefully with her family at her side, Sunday, October 23, 2011 at 12:00 noon. Left to mourn are her husband of 58 years, Ray, son Jeff (Judith), Gatineau, PQ, daughter June Striefler (Doug) and grandson Lee, Winnipeg, MB, son Jordan (Tracey), granddaughter Samantha and grandson Dustin, Oak Bluff, MB, and numerous relatives and close friends. Joan was active in earlier days in baseball and curling and was regarded as a good athlete. Her hands were never idle. Almost famous in craft work mainly knitting and crocheting, Joan entered articles such as afghans, quilts, sweaters and other items in competitions, winning numerous First Place awards and Red Ribbons at various exhibitions including the Red River Ex. Her son-in-law Doug always said that Joan used so much wool that there are a lot of shivering sheep. Joan enjoyed travelling and in particular the many years she spent wintering in Texas where en-route, they never missed a Wal-Mart. In later years, Joan and Ray enjoyed many worldly cruises. Joan loved to play Bingo and was considered to be pretty lucky. Many thanks to the staff at Steinbach Bethesda Hospital. Joan couldn't have had better treatment. Special thanks to Dr. Wowk, Nurse Monique, and the numerous other nurses who tended to our loving wife, mother and grandmother. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the charity of your choice. According to her wishes, cremation has taken place and no service will be held.
