PENELOPE (PENNY) YVONNE TREFLIN

It is with great sadness that we announce the unexpected passing of our beloved mother, grandmother and friend, ,Penny Treflin, on Friday, September 25, 2020, at the age of 75 years.
Born in Winnipeg, Manitoba on January 30, 1945, Penny was raised by her adoptive parents Stanley and Dorothy Studney. She attended Tec Voc High School, graduating in 1964.
Penny worked hard all her life. She was employed full-time upon graduation, and began working for the federal government in 1980, until her well-deserved retirement in 2005.
Although Penny went through many difficult times, she lived her life knowing and doing the things that were of real value. She never lost her desire to help others, including complete strangers. She was selfless, always putting the needs of her family, friends and others before her own. She never failed to tell her family how much she loved them, or how proud she was of them. Her caring, giving spirit is her legacy and will always be remembered by those close to her.
Penny leaves to cherish her memory daughter Michelle (David), son James (Linly), grandchildren, Kayla (Daniel), Britney (Ian), Paige and Noah, great-grandchildren, Caleb and Amelia, as well as long-time friends, Peggy Carson, Crystal Chipman, Cherri Olson, Summer Leech and Kenn Burgess. She was predeceased by her parents, brother Laurence and sister Jeanette.
At Penny's request, cremation has taken place, and a private family Celebration of Life will be held at a later date.
Due to the ongoing pandemic, the family has chosen to honour her through a memorial website - www.pennytreflin.com. Please visit the site, and feel free to leave a personal message or story for the family.
Memorial donations may be made in Penny's memory to Diabetes Canada.
Rock Fontaine, Funeral Director, in care of arrangements 204-223-2576.
