WILMA GARLICK
June 29, 1944 - September 14, 2022
Mum was born in Winnipeg and lived in a number of small Manitoba towns before completing her home economics degree, meeting Dad (Dennis), and settling down in Roland to raise a family.
Mum was an accomplished cook and extremely talented seamstress. She made us beautiful clothes and cheerfully produced every complicated Halloween costume we requested. Mum loved gardening, dogs, and baseball. She was exceedingly capable and truly an equal partner with Dad in their successful seed cleaning business and farm. She was also kind and quick to laugh. Above all though, Mum was the rock of our family.
She and Dad, happily married for 50 years at the time of his death, put their family first above all. She was always there to provide good advice, support, and loving encouragement to her daughters, and delighted in her grandchildren with whom she shared a special bond.
She is predeceased by her husband Dennis and daughter Val, and lovingly remembered by her daughter Nancy, son-in-law Rob; grandchildren, Cedar and Fergus, and many friends and extended family.
According to Mum's wishes, no service will be held.

Nancy, we are sorry for your loss but relieved Mom is no longer suffering. We remember the smiles and laughs and all the wonderful Sundays spent at the beach with your family. Our girls still like to go to St Ambrose. It wasn't more than a week before your Mom fell that I sent an email to her as I was grating zuchinni and thought of your Dad "being ever so vigilant, it's zuchinni season". We are so sorry that we were unable to get out to see you when you were in Roland but as you may have heard we are facing our own challenges at the moment . Thinking of you and your family!! - Posted by: ross and Donna Pritchard (friends and former neighbours) on: Oct 02, 2022
