GILL, Stanley Howard Stanley Gill passed away on April 1, 2022 in Victoria BC after a brief struggle with cancer. Stan was born in Hamiota, MB on October 26, 1936. He was the youngest of seven children, and grew up with four sisters and two brothers born to Arthur Howard and Mary Beth Gill of Rivers, MB. Stan attended school at Medina, MB. In 1953 he started working for local farmers in the V/district. In 1964 he bought his own farm near Brandon, MB where he mixed-farmed. In 1966 he married Audrey Miller of Coulter, MB. On the farm is where they raised a family of two children, Howard Wesley Gill (deceased 2016) and Carolyn Beth Gill, living in Edmonton AB. Together they built up the farm and lived there for 30 years. Stan always kept a vary nice yard and spent many hours working outside with flowers, a hobby he kept doing right up until his passing. Stan was also an animal lover and always had farm animals and pets in his life. Stan spent many years on large construction projects in and around the Brandon area which are still there today. In 1996 Stan and Audrey decided it was time for milder winters and they sold the farm and moved to Victoria, B.C. Stan enjoyed his many years living in Victoria. At Stan's request no service will be held. Donations in Stan's memory can be made to a SPCA or animal shelter in your community.
