NORENE MARGARET PEELER
(nee MARCINO)
September 23, 1945 – July 30, 2021
Mom was the eldest child of Jim and Doris Peeler and grew up in Neepawa, Erickson, and Winnipeg. She was predeceased by both parents and siblings, Barry and Brenda. She is survived by her three children, Kim, Lisa (Perry), and Dionne (Russ); her beloved grandbabies, Quinn and Kaya; siblings, Rod and Debbie, and many nieces and nephews.
She started life on the farm in Neepawa and had many fond memories of her life there with her siblings and cousins. Mom especially loved taking the family plane to visit relatives in Erickson and Clear Lake. As a young woman she spent her days in the Erickson and Clear Lake region before her eventual move to Winnipeg. It was during this time that she met our dad Zigmund.
Mom spent her career at the University of Manitoba first in food services and then in the physical plant. We were blessed that after her retirement she dedicated her time to caring for her grandbabies. The memories that she made with them will forever be cherished.
Norene was both a fighter and an innovator. She broke down barriers and was never afraid of being the first woman to do something. In a time of gender inequality, Mom showed us that a woman could do anything they put their minds to as long as we persevere. She was fiercely defensive of her family until the end, and she always made sure she gave us everything she could.
We would like to give the greatest thanks to Brenda and the staff of RR6 at HSC. Every member of the team went above and beyond to ensure that Mom and all of us were taken care of during Mom's final days. We are truly blessed to have been guided through this by you all.
We love you Mom. You were taken too soon.

So sad to hear about Noreen. We worked together at SR&J call centre on Academy. We had a lot of fun while working. We sat beside each other and I really enjoyed her company. We used to talk about all kinds of things. I had tried to look her up on FACEBOOK and never any results. I must have tried about 3 or 4 times. I was hoping that we could have met up for coffee one day . I just found out today when my son happened to check the mail. My Bday was yesterday (72). There was a birthday card in there from another coworker that we worked with . Inside is as Noreen’s obituary. The other coworker wondered if I had seen it which of course I hadn’t. Still have fond memories of working with her. - Posted by: Lynne Smith (Coworker ) on: Aug 28, 2021

I knew Norene through working at the University of Manitoba. Just a lovely person who was dedicated to her family. She would recount her growing-up days in Neepawa living next to author Margaret Lawrence. Sadly missed. I will always remember our friendship.
