Dana Marie Gunn passed away peacefully at Calvary Place Personal Care Home in Winnipeg, Manitoba. She was born on May 4, 1950.

She will be greatly missed by Ralph’s cousins, Colleen and Brian Foley and Richard and Phyllis Capri and their families.
She will also be missed by family in Alberta, her niece, Wendy Oklobdzija; her nephews Jamie, Randy, and Rick Hodgins and their families; as well as numerous great-nieces and nephews and great-great-nieces and nephews.
Dana was predeceased by her husband Ralph Gunn; her parents, James Lilley Dick and Mabel Florence Dick (née Brown); her sister Arlene and brother-in-law, Don Hodgins and her mother-in-law Vera Gunn.
Dana lived most of her life in the Wolseley area of Winnipeg. Dana and Ralph began married life on Newman Street and when Ralph retired, they moved to McClure Place on Greenwood Place, where they made many new friends and reconnected with old ones. After Ralph’s death, Dana continued living there until her move to Calvary Place Personal Care Home.
Dana and Ralph spent their summers at the lake and winters at their favourite vacation destination, Isla Mujeres, Mexico, where they forged many close friendships. Following Ralph’s passing, Dana continued to visit Isla Mujeres until her health prevented her from traveling solo.
Heartfelt thanks to the dedicated staff of the first floor of Calvary Place Personal Care Home who provided compassionate care.
A private interment will be held.

We enjoyed playing cards with Ralph & Dana at the lake, many times over the years. We also meet up in Cancun for a few years. Dana loved Mexico, we always had lots of fun times. ❤️ - Posted by: Nelson and Karen Nickel (Friends from Hillside beach & Traverse Bay area) on: Oct 05, 2025
