MURRAY MCAULAY and EVELYN MCAULAY It is with heavy hearts we announce the accidental passing of our parents Murray and Evelyn McAulay on Saturday, July 20, 2013. Leaving to mourn their passing are their children, Judy (Ian) Moar, Joanne (Rob) Bietling, Bill McAulay, Evelyn (Alf) Kotowich, Roberta (Ron) Kotowich, Greg (Yadranka) McAulay and Marilyn (Jeff) Flett. They also leave to mourn their passing 16 grandchildren, 17 great-grandchildren; dad's sister Jean (Ade) Olson; mom's twin sister Frances Dusablon and sister Winnie Grief along with numerous nieces, nephews and cousins. They were predeceased by parents Fred and Edith McAulay and Oscar and Winnifred Ness as well as dad's brothers Edwin and Ken McAulay; sister Phyllis Johnson and sister Doris Drevlo. They were also predeceased by two precious grandsons, Kyle Flett and Jamie Kotowich. In his early years dad was a heavy equipment operator with Pile Foundation and farmed on the McAulay family farm. Mom worked for many years as a Health Care Aide and in her mid 40s fulfilled a life long dream and graduated as a Licensed Practical Nurse. She enjoyed her nursing career at Selkirk General Hospital. In their retirement years they enjoyed 16 years as "snowbirds" in Weslaco, Texas, gardening, watching curling, enjoying their outings and their family. We would like to thank everyone that came to their aid following the accident and the compassionate doctors and nurses at Health Sciences Centre Surgical I.C.U. for allowing us to be with mom till she passed. Thank you also to the two R.C.M.P. officers who provided us with information in regards to the accident. Thank you as well to the Selkirk Home Care Office and Home Care Workers that provided care for our mom over the last 10 months. We truly appreciate all your efforts. Flowers are gratefully declined. If you so wish a donation in their memory can be made to the Clandeboye United Church or a charity of your choice. We would like to extend our condolences to the family of Betty Edkins from the McAulay children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this difficult time of loss. A memorial service will be held on Tuesday, July 30, 2013, at 11:00 a.m., in the Clandeboye United Church.

  • I was blessed, on a few occasions, to visit with Evelyn and Murray and enjoy a good cup of tea and conversation. It was evident in the way they spoke of their family that they loved them and were proud of them. I am grateful that I was given the opportunity to know them, however briefly, and they will be missed, say for the happy memories they leave with us all. To the family my prayers are with you. - Posted by: Darlene Barrett (Friend of Bill McAulay) on: Jul 27, 2013
