MARLENE MAE CONSTANCE STUTSKY April 24, 1940 May 13, 2008 Peacefully, after a lengthy illness it is with deep regret that we announce the death of our mother on Tuesday, May 13, 2008, at the Gimli Community Health Centre, surrounded by her family. Remaining to forever cherish Marlene's memory are her daughters, Pat Newman (Del), Kim Sylvester (Daryl), Marilyn Kalb (Jim); grandchildren, Brandon (Alisa), Blake, Amanda (Trevor), Leigh (Amber), Lacey, Nicole and Samantha; great-grandchildren, Alan, Taylor, Callie and Charlie. She is also survived by two sisters, Helen Nedotiafko and Victoria Larabie and brother-in-law Bill Stutsky (Elsie) and sister-in-law Peggy Kibsey (Adam). Marlene will also be greatly missed by numerous nieces, nephews, relatives and friends. She was predeceased by her loving husband of 50 years, Charlie, their infant daughter Sharon, her brother Herman Johnson and her parents Victor and Lena Johnson. Mom was a hardworking, loving homemaker who loved gardening, baking, sewing, traveling, camping, having regular family gatherings, visiting her many friends and relatives and working the family farm with dad. Marlene was born and raised on a farm in Ponemah, MB. She met and married Charlie in 1955, they moved to Edmonton, AB for a short time and then returned to Winnipeg Beach to farm and raise their family. In her mid 30s Marlene was struck with MS and struggled with this disease on a daily basis. Her disposition was always one of gentleness and smiles. She resided at the Betel Home in Gimli for the past 10 years. We would like to thank the caregivers of Home Care and the Betel, Dr. R.C. Patel and the nursing staff at Gimli Community Health Centre. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Marlene's memory to The Multiple Sclerosis Society of Canada, Manitoba Division, 100 -1465 Buffalo Place, Winnipeg, Manitoba, R3T 1L8. Private family service. Forever in our hearts, until we meet again. Marlene, Mom, Granny Gilbart Funeral Chapel, Gimli in care of arrangements.
