MARILYN O'NEILL It is with deepest sorrow that we announce the passing of our mother Marilyn Hazel O'Neill (nee Stadfeld) on November 8, 2012 with her family by her side. She will be lovingly remembered and very sadly missed by her children Robert O'Neill (Mona), Catherine Imlah (Raymond) and Frances O'Neill (Brad) and her beloved grandchildren Lindsay and Michael Imlah and Ryan O'Neill. Sisters, Joy Hagyard (late Merv), June Hock (Sonny), Shirley Malkowich (Fred), Sharron Campbell (Lloyd), Irene Dubs (Rolf), Lynda Baker (Ron), Laverne McLaren (Barry), Dawn Cyr, brothers Raymond Stadfeld (Julie), Barry Stadfeld and many nieces and nephews. She was predeceased by her husband Barrie, Father Eider and mother Fern and brother-in- law Merv Hagyard. Marilyn was born on October 11, 1937 and raised in Hodgsonville, MB. Being a part in farm life in the early years provided many delightful stories of travelling to school on horseback and hard working chores with her brothers and sisters. She attended early school years in Hodgson/Fisherton and later went on to high school in Arborg. She started her career at Misericordia Hospital in the accounts department. Mom met Dad in 1955 and they married in 1959. Together with Barrie, side by side they operated River Heights and Roblin Park Esso for many years. Along with work, they enjoyed many years at their summer cottage at Lake St George. After an early retirement, they decided to move to Fisherton, MB and enjoyed over 17 years of country life on 160 acres of heaven. She lived for her family and enjoyed spending as much precious time with her loving grandchildren as she could. In 2007 shortly after Barrie's passing, she moved back to Winnipeg to enjoy the city life once again with her pets Abby, Darby and Snorrie. She gave all of herself to her children, grandchildren and family making the most of her precious time on this earth. She will be missed, as this void in all of our lives will be a long time filled.... If ever. We would like to thank the staff at Amber Meadow Retirement Home, Seven Oak General Hospital ICU and St. Boniface Hospital ICU. In lieu of flowers donations may be sent to Manitoba SPCA, Arthritis Society of MB or charity of choice. A funeral service will be held Tuesday November 13, 2012 at 10:30 a.m. at Thomson Funeral Home, 669 Broadway. THOMSON FUNERAL HOME 669 BROADWAY, WINNIPEG, MB R3C OX4 204 - 783-7211 Condolences may be sent to www.thomsonfuneralchapel.com

  • With Deepest Sympathies, I extend my heartfelt condolences to Marlie's children and grandchildren and siblings at this time of sorrow and loss. I will always remember Marlie as an incredibly beautiful and graceful woman with the kindest heart and warmest smile. She was so thoughtful and she always remembered my mother Eva. I recall being so grateful when Marlie joined our family to celebrate my mother's 65th Birthday celebration so many years ago. To my beautiful cousin, you will be forever remembered and loved always by your family. With love to all my extended family, Kim Stadfeld & (son) Jordan. - Posted by: Kim Stadfeld (Cousin) on: Nov 13, 2012

  • Marlie was such a wonderful and caring Auntie even though we always lived far away. Every time we came to Winnipeg or out to Fisher Branch she always made us feel special and so welcome. Like cousin Tim - wow, were we impressed with the TV, the cookies, and games at their house!! And of course laughed when Auntie Marlie and Uncle Barrie groaned when all the girls were ringing the doorbell to see if Rob was home after school. Later, we all shared a love of reading, bookstores, animals and knitting. Auntie Marlie was so thoughtful with her grand-niece and nephew and they will grow up knowing what a wonderful person she was and will cherish the books and cards that she sent as presents. Much love to Rob, Cathy, and Frances and all the family. Your Mom/Gram will be missed by all who knew her. With love, Melanie and Stacey (Erik, Olina and Olivier) - Posted by: The Campbell Girls (Nieces) on: Nov 12, 2012

  • How shocked we were, when we found out your mother/grandmother had passed away. We will miss our yearly letter at Christmas time, which I looked forward every year since she left Fisher Branch. Your mom was a kind, warm person and her memory will always be with us. She even sent me a congratulations card when I celebrated 35 years with the bank. Our deepest sympathy to you Kathy and your family. - Posted by: Linda and Eddie Trachuk (Friend) on: Nov 12, 2012

  • I will miss my beautiful sister Marlie so much. She was so caring and always there willing to lend an ear or a shoulder. Lloyd and I send our sincere sympathies to Marlie's family. Love Auntie Sharron and Uncle Lloyd - Posted by: Sharron Campbell (Sister) on: Nov 12, 2012

  • It is difficult to bear the loss of one so dear, But may it help a bit to know that caring thoughts are near, And may your special Memories be a comfort to you, too. And keep the one you loved so much still very close to you. I will always remember her warm smile and kind words. - Posted by: Colleen Bernier () on: Nov 12, 2012

  • Childhood memories. It was around 1970 when Marlie and Barrie and the kids moved onto Charleswood Road near Beaumont. Rob was in my class and on the walk home from school we would stop at their house for a snack. I loved it because they were the first people I knew who had color TV and Cable TV. WOW that was something. Marley would be there to greet us and give us some cookies and milk and ask us how our day was. Many years later I remember visiting with them at Fisherton with my folks Harvey and Evelyn.....the same cookies would find their way to the table and the same "how are things goin". Always a hug for me, whether in Winnipeg, Fisherton or Ashern. Such a Wonderful Lady. My sincere condolences to all....Tim - Posted by: Tim Cameron (Cousin) on: Nov 12, 2012

  • Our thoughts and prayers are with you. All of our love, and lots of hugs, Cindy & Terry, Jesse, Jacob, and Joshua - Posted by: Cindy & Terry Regier (Niece) on: Nov 11, 2012

  • I was a childhood friend of Barrie, Marly's husband. Although I never had the priviledge of meeting her, whenever I met with Barrie at Roblin Park Esso, he always spoke so highly of her. She was obviously the love of his life. My wife and I extend our heartfelt condolences to all of the family. - Posted by: David Grant (Friend of Barrie) on: Nov 10, 2012

  • My heartfelt sympathy on the loss of your Mom/Grandma. Marlie was a wonderful gentle person. Growing up together I often looked up to her for guidance, she was always ready to share herself with me. Marlie was an important part of my life, and I will always cherish those memories of my special sister. I'm truly sorry I am unable to be there with you children at this time. Love Auntie Shirley and Uncle Fred - Posted by: Shirley & Fred Malkowich (Sister & Brother-in-law) on: Nov 10, 2012

  • Tribute to my Sister My sincere sympathy to my dear Sister's family. Marlie was just 'one of a kind', so generous and thoughtful. I will miss her cheery e-mails and snail mails, she never forgot an occasion. Glad she remembered our wedding anniversary or we would have forgot it ourselves. I will miss my dear Sister more then words can say. Love to all, Laverne & Barry - Posted by: Laverne (Sister) on: Nov 10, 2012
