TRELLIS HIRT (nee LEPINE) January 22, 2016 It's with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of our family's matriarch, after a courageous and brief battle with cancer. Trellis passed away peacefully at Riverview Health Centre, at the age of 53 years. Born July 23, 1962, in Winnipeg, Manitoba. Survived by her ever-loving children, Ashley Hirt and Benjamin McGregor. Her brother and sisters, James Lepine, Arlene Bursheim, Rennie Lepine, Tammy Mahone, Terrie Green, Tracy Thompson and numerous nieces and nephews. She's predeceased by her spouse Kimberley McGregor (2007), boyfriend Peder Marstad (2011) and the love of her life, an orange tabby named Morris (2013). She is also predeceased by her brother and sister, Randy and Shelly Lepine and her parents, Uylsses and Hazel Lepine. Trellis will always be remembered for her vivacious laugh, generosity and positive outlook on life. An avid bowler and bingo player, she was a living social butterfly. Despite her illness over the past few months, Trellis worked hard to maintain normalcy and live life to the fullest. Her resilience and strength are a testament to her extraordinary personality that we will all dearly miss. The family would like to thank the staff at Riverview Health Centre and the Grace Hospital for their loving care. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to Craig Street Cats at 16-1421 St. James St., Winnipeg, MB R3H 0Y9. (www.craigstcats.ca) or Riverview Health Centre at 1 Morley Ave., Winnipeg, MB R3L 2P4. A Celebration of Life will be held at Cropo Funeral Home at 1442 Main St., Winnipeg, MB, on Saturday, January 30, 2016 at 1:00 p.m. A private interment will take place at a later date.

  • Dear sweet Tellis - So surprised and sorry to read your notice. Surprised because only short months ago we were talking in your neighbourhood and you gave me your phone number so we could chat about past memories. You were favourite local friend, buddy and fellow cat lover for my now deceased and much adored sister Doreen, from the house on the corner just north of your home. If there is any justice you are now relating to the good times you shared and most likely including stories about tabby Morris and Frisky, Blacky, Kitten and others ! You were an important part of a great and much loved neighbourhood group. So sorry we never had that promised chat. Rest in well deserved peace dear friend. - Posted by: Harold McCort (Friend) on: Jan 29, 2016

  • Met Trellis when she was going out with my brother Peder. It is so sad that her life ended so young. She will be missed dearly. Our thoughts and prayers are with you Ashley and Ben and to all family and friends. - Posted by: Marilyn & Jeff Sippel (Friend) on: Jan 27, 2016

  • My dear friend Trellis!! Well heaven definitely received a beautiful angel. I have known Trellis for more than 25 years as we met in the courier industry. Trellis had an amazing smile behind her great personality. Trellis is a great friend that would talk your ear off about her wins /losses at Bingo or about the Bingo Bowls she had organized. Her kids Ashley and Ben were her life as she always keep me updated on their young lives. I want to say on behalf of the Winnipeg Courier Family that we are truly sorry for the loss of your Mom and a great lady. I found this little piece and thought of you Trellis. Death is nothing at all. It does not count. I have only slipped away into the next room. Nothing has happened everything remains exactly as it was. I am I,and you are you, and the old life that we lived so fondly together is untouched unchanged. Whatever we were to each other that we are still. Call me by the old familiar name. Speak of me in the easy way which you always used. Put no difference into your tone. Wear no forced air of solemnity or sorrow. Laugh as we always laughed at the little jokes that we enjoyed together, play, smile think of me, pray for me. Let my name be ever the household word that it always was. Let it be spoken without an effort, without the ghost of a shadow upon it. Life means all that it ever meant. It is the same as it ever was. There is absolute and unbroken continuity. What is this death but a negligible accident? Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight? I am but waiting for you, for an interval, somewhere very near, just around the corner. All is well. Till we meet again - Michaela ♥♥♥♥♥ - Posted by: michaela (friend) on: Jan 27, 2016

  • Several years ago, Trellis and I bowled on the same night at Coronation. She was a lovely person, always kind, cheerful and outgoing. We actually recognized each other recently when she popped in at Coronation on a Wednesday (I now bowl in a 55+ afternoon league there) and we shared a warm hug and a brief chat. Sad to see here life was cut short, so young. My sympathies to all her family and friends. - Posted by: Annette Bonomo (friend) on: Jan 27, 2016
