NOREEN LEE BARGENDA (SOLOMON) January 6, 1948 - June 7, 2011 Come and sit by my side little darling, Come lay your sweet head next to mine Promise me that you will never Be nobody's darling but mine It is with utmost sadness that our family announces the sudden passing of our beloved wife, mother, grandmother, sister and friend. Mom was predeceased by her parents, Oswald and Violet Solomon, sister Bertha and niece Tracy. Left to cherish her memories are her loving husband of 46 years, Garry; children: Chad (Deb), Candice (Brad), Shelly, Anthony (Darla); grandchildren: Savannah, Tristen, Harlee, Ashley and Ben; sisters: Natalie (Dave), Bonita, Joan (Bill), Theresa (Dave), Peggy (Helmut), Kristy (Daryl); sister-in-law Adeline (Kurt); numerous nieces and nephews and her best friend Annie. Mom was born on January 6, 1948 in Pine Falls, Manitoba. She grew up by the water in the Lac Du Bonnet area. At age 13 she met Dad and it was love at first sight. At ages 17 and 19 they married and had four children. In 1979, mom bought the Hadashville Post Office and the career of a Postmaster started. Mom's house was like a summer camp always full of family and friends, no invitation or notice ever needed and no time limit on how long you could stay. No matter who you were, she always made you feel like you were welcome. She was mom to everyone and you could always count on her to comfort you or give a helping hand. Mom was the local babysitter, hairdresser and renovator and no job was ever too big. Mom was very creative in that she could take nothing and turn it into something great. She loved to sketch, read, cook, sew, dance, spend time in the garden and go fishing with Dad. Her greatest love was spending time with her family. Mom enjoyed the simple things in life like searching for beach glass with her sisters and sitting around the campfire with the grandchildren while Dad sang some tunes. Thank you Mom for always being there for us, for all you have done, and for being a beautiful person. We miss you and love you, we will never forget you. Following Mom's wishes, a private service and cremation has taken place Keep the coffee on and the soup hot until we meet again. Rest in Peace'

Condolences & Memories (5 entries)

  • Where do I start? It's been over 5 years since I've gone to a post office to collect our mail. Never realized why even until recently. I'm in Manitoba now and nothing about it feels the same. I can't even understand myself why you had such an impact on me. When I was a young adult, I began to struggle and was having trouble finding my way. I was becoming exactly what I feared and I almost hit an end. I felt lonely and scared and didn't know of any adult I could talk to. Then I remembered my aunt Noreen. I borrowed a bike and made my way down Watt Street, where I was living at the time and headed to her house. Took me all night and part of the next day because my chain kept falling off. When I arrived though, she hadn't changed a bit. I still felt loved, still felt welcome and still had someone real I could talk with. She took no bull and told me like it was. It was just what I needed I guess. Since then I've changed so much and she'll never know. I have 2 boys now and I can't accept that they'll never meet her. She made me feel better than any other person I can remember in my entire life. She stood up for me, she taught me, and she was understanding to me. I never told her how important she was and that just hurts. Every year at this time I get emotional. I can't imagine how the rest of the family feels. It's still so surreal. I miss you so much and I wish you were here. Love you forever. - Posted by: Robbie (Family ) on: May 31, 2018
