GWEN BJARNASON (nee JONASSON) July 26, 1940 - July 5, 2013 It is with sadness we announce the passing of Mary Gwen Elizabeth Bjarnason at the St. Boniface Hospital. Gwen was predeceased by her husband Niels and son Brent. She is survived by her daughter Inga (Dennis), granddaughter Mikayla whom she loved most in the world, daughter-in-law Helena, sisters Sharon, Heather, brothers Bill (Karen), Henry (Betty), Arnold (Shirley), sisters-in-law Ninna, Hulda (Tom), numerous nieces, nephews, extended family and friends. Some of moms favourite pastimes included spending time with family and friends, doing needlepoint, knitting and baking with Mikayla (moms Vinarterta was known as the best around!). She had a kind heart and a generous spirit and will be dearly missed by all who knew her. A private family service will be held. We would like to extend sincere thanks to the Gimli Home Care staff, the staff at Johnson Memorial Hospital and staff at St. Boniface Hospital for the excellent care she received. If friends so desire, in lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Heart and Stroke Foundation 1-204-949-2000.
