MARTHA (MARTY) OLIVE SWENSON May 19, 1933 - March 14, 2018 After a short illness, with great sadness the family announces the passing of Martha Swenson on Wednesday, March 14, 2018 at the age of 84 years. Martha will be lovingly remembered by her sister Shirley; nephews Greg, Bob, Doug and Mark; nieces Brenda, Mag and Barb, and cousins in Vancouver, BC; nephew Brian in Ontario, and niece Gayle in Nova Scotia. She was predeceased by her father Swen; mother Sadie; brothers Ed, John and Jack, and nephew Edward. Martha grew up on the farm in Inwood, Manitoba. She then came to Winnipeg and worked in restaurants, Harman's Drugstore, Barbeque Restaurant and Pony Corral, eventually finishing her career with Home Care. She competed in many sports, specially softball and curling. Martha always cheered for the Blue Bombers, Winnipeg Jets, Winnipeg Goldeyes and she loved country music. A private family service will be held at a later date. Special thanks to all the staff on the 3rd floor Deer Trail at Oakview Extended Care since 2015. They are all terrific people!

  • I was a classmate of Martha's and played many curling games with her. She was the star pitcher for our Inwood girl's softball team. My sympathy is sent to all her family and I am thinking of you all at this sad time. - Posted by: Marion Strick (friend) on: Mar 24, 2018
