Send Flowers to the Family Offer Condolences or MemoryPATRICIA ANN PARKER (nee ROBINSON) 1937 - 2016 Peacefully, after a prolonged creeping illness, Patricia (Pat) passed away on Wednesday, February 10, 2016, at the Grace Hospital, with her husband of 57 years, by her side. Pat was 78 years of age at the time of her passing and had lived in Winnipeg for all but two years since arriving in 1967. Pat is survived by her husband Richard, son Brian (Laurie), daughter Angela and grandchildren, Catherine and Peter, also younger sisters, Jean and Enid, and their families, and brother-in-law David (Sharyn) and families in New Zealand. Special friend Christie Acheson (Kyle) and their girls, Kaitlyn, Haley, Kylie and Madyson round out the list. Predeceased were Pat's brothers, Christopher and Peter; parents, Arthur and Edith Robinson; and most sadly, son Colin in 2000. Winter was not Pat's favourite season but she did enjoy a walk around the duck pond, where the footpaths were swept, and needlework projects at home. Summer was a time for camping and travelling with family, including flying and driving trips to all of the Provinces and Territories, as well as the United States, and overseas trips to the UK, Australia, Singapore and New Zealand. A celebration of Pat's life will be held on Saturday, March 12, 2016 at 1:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. in ANAVETS Unit 283, 3584 Portage Avenue, Winnipeg, Manitoba. Inurnment will be held in Chapel Lawn Memorial Gardens at a later date. The family would like to thank the doctors, nurses and support staff at the Grace Hospital emergency room and Ward 1 South for their care and compassion during our difficult time. In lieu of flowers, please make a donation to your favourite charity or to the Assiniboine Park Conservatory Fund, 55 Pavilion Crescent, Winnipeg, MB R3P 2N6.

Regrettably, it was in the past short year and half that I met and became friends with the Parkers', Dick and Pat. Although the time spent was cut short, I will always remember Dick's devotional love for Pat! He was always by her side and bedside, before and during hospitalization. May God grant you, Dick, the inner strength to deal with this traumatic loss, and the courage to continue living a life of wonderful memories you shared with Pat. - Posted by: Donovan Hale (Neighbor) on: Feb 22, 2016

From the Parker family (New Zealand) to the Parker family (Canada) separated by half a world physically but the Parkers past and present will always be in our minds. Looking forward to both families reuniting again soon. Fond times spent together in England, New Zealand, Singapore and the U.S.A. will always be in our memories. - Posted by: David, Sharyn and Amber Parker (Brother & sister in law & great-niece) on: Feb 20, 2016
