NOREEN ANN CARLEY

(MCGREGOR)

Surrounded by her family, Noreen passed peacefully on the afternoon of August 28, 2025, at Boundary Trails Health Centre at 85 years of age.

She is survived by her loving husband of 64 years, John, and her children, Michael (Patty), David (Lorna), and Joanne (Rob) as well as grandchildren Lindsay, Sean (Sydney), Luke, Ross, Jackson (Bri), and Tom. She was predeceased by her parents Ernie and Myrle and her brother Perry.

Noreen was born at Carman, Manitoba and was raised on the family farm south of town. After graduating and completing a degree at the University of Manitoba, she married John. Life adventures had Noreen moving about Ontario and Manitoba before returning to the Carman area where they continued and expanded the family farm. Her activities, including sewing and quilting, flowers and gardening, and photography and painting all showed the passion and excellence she had for creating beauty all around her.

Retirement found Noreen enjoying travel and creating precious memories with family and friends, including a four month teaching trip to Thailand. She continued to enjoy her creative hobbies as well as enjoying time with family, especially her six grandchildren whom she adored.

The Carley family offers their appreciation to the staff of the Boyne Lodge for the care provided to Noreen and also to the staff of Boundary Trails for their compassion and care given to Noreen and family.

A funeral service will be held at Carman United Church on Friday, September 12, 2025, at 11:00 a.m., with a lunch to follow in the church hall. For those who wish to attend, an interment of ashes will take place at the Greenwood Cemetery in Carman on Friday, September 12, 2025, at 3:00 p.m.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Noreen’s memory to the Alzheimer’s Society of Manitoba.
