MARLENE NANCY BARTELL It is with deepest sadness we announce the sudden passing of our dearest wife, mother, nana, sister and friend, Marlene Nancy Bartell, aged 65 years, on Thursday, February 28, 2019 in Cozumel, Mexico. Marlene will be forever remembered by her loving husband of 46 years, Jack Bartell and their precious children, Cory (Erica) and Chris (Trang). She will be lovingly remembered by three grandchildren, Aiden, Charley and Jake, sisters, Nadine (Kenton), Denise and brother Harvey. Marlene will also be fondly remembered by Keenan, Brandy, many nieces and nephews, dearest friends, Janice and Michelle, and numerous extended family and friends. She was predeceased by her parents, Mary and Fred Zolondek, brother Norris, and sister Marilyn. Marlene was a lifelong employee of the HSC/WRHA until she retired in May of 2017. Her life was filled with activity and adventure. An avid gardener, her yard was worthy of the center spread of Home and Garden Magazine. She loved everything about summer... her time at the lake, fishing, walking, biking and hanging out at the pond. Rainy days were spent quilting, reading and planning events with friends. Winters were spent travelling anywhere hot. But her absolute joy came from spending time with the little people in her life... her grandchildren. "Your wings were ready. Our hearts were not." A celebration of Marlene's life will be held at 2:00 p.m. on Thursday, March 14, 2019 at Cropo Funeral Chapel, 1442 Main Street, Winnipeg, MB. In lieu of flowers donations may be made to the Winnipeg Humane Society.

Condolences & Memories (8 entries)

  • I met Marlene working at the HSC/WRHA payroll office. She trained me when I first started and then she became my mentor and friend for many years. She was a dedicated, hardworking employee always willing to provide support to the payroll office staff and she did her best for every employee that contacted our office. She loved to joke and laugh and had a song for every occasion. Marlene spoke lovingly of her family and adored her grandchildren and spending time with them. She enjoyed her friends, her pets, and her garden and was always excited to see all of the wild creatures that chanced by. I will always remember our years of friendship and the fun and adventure we had. - Posted by: Cheryl Pearson (Friend/Co-worker) on: Mar 14, 2019

  • I had the pleasure of meeting Marlene in the early 1980's and working with her in the Human Resources Department at the Health Sciences Centre for a couple of years and continued as I transferred back to the Finance Department. Our friendship remained steadfast for many, many years until retirement separated us; as it tends to do with so many of us. I was saddened to hear of Marlene's untimely passing at such an early age. My deepest heartfelt condolences to Jack, her dear children and grandchildren. May you, in time, find peace knowing that Marlene is with our Lord and Savior. - Posted by: Joanne Lavallee (Friend) on: Mar 09, 2019
