MARILYN MANUEL (nee KURCEBA) 1953-2008 The family of Marilyn Ann Manuel announces with great sadness the passing of their wonderful wife, mother, daughter, and sister at the Dr. G.B Cross Memorial Hospital, Clarenville, Newfoundland on Friday, May 23, 2008, after a two year battle with cancer. She will be forever remembered and loved by her husband Graham, son Shannon, daughter Amelia, as well as her father Alex Kurceba, sister Michele Darragh (Kerry), brother Sandy Kurceba (Maura) and nieces Jaclyn and Kelsey, all of Winnipeg. She is predeceased by her mother Joyce (April 25, 2008), sister-in-law Margaret Kurceba, cousin Kelly Millar and sister-in-law Faith Matchem. Marilyn had a wide circle of family and friends in both Winnipeg and her adopted home of Newfoundland where she had lived for the past twenty-five years.

Instrumental in helping her deal with the many trying times but also sharing in a lot of laughter are her nephew and niece Dave and Bonnie Matchem and their children Sam and Hope. Despite facing a difficult and challenging illness, she approached every day with a relentless vitality and an irrepressible sense of humor - a true inspiration. She will be greatly missed. Cremation has taken place as she requested. Visitation took place at Fewer's Funeral Home, Clarenville. Memorial Service held Tuesday, May 27, 2008 from St. Mary's Anglican Church, Clarenville with inurnment at the Interdenominational Cemetery, Clarenville. Flowers gratefully declined.
