It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of our much loved wife, mother, grandmother and great grandmother, Marilyn Clearwater (née Pekrul), on January 15th at Brightwater Senior Living, Tuxedo. Marilyn spent her final days lovingly surrounded by family.
Marilyn leaves to cherish her memory, her husband of over 40 years, Justice Albert (Ab) Clearwater; daughter Kristi Jardine (Calgary); granddaughter Abi Sedran (Calgary); stepchildren, Trevor Clearwater (Selma), Karen Clearwater (Glen), Jennifer Rempel (Jon); grandkids, Katy, Aidan, Camille, Liam, Maeryn, Benjamin, Senna and Adrian, and her brand new great-grandkids, Ava and Zara. Her love story with Ab will live on through all of them. Marilyn also leaves behind her beloved twin sister Margaret Halldorson (Dave) of Chilliwack, and brother Garry Pekrul (Yvonne), as well as many nieces and nephews. She was predeceased by her parents, Otto and Eva Pekrul.
Marilyn enjoyed a long life full of wonderful memories. She attended Norberry School and Glenlawn Collegiate in St. Vital followed by a career as a legal assistant. She was a member at St. Boniface Golf Club, and enjoyed many years curling at St. Vital Curling Club, making many lasting and special friends along the way.
Marilyn cherished her cottage time with Ab and family at Lake of the Woods, and their winter vacations with long time friends in Palm Desert. Marilyn maintained contact with her childhood friends, religiously attending her almost monthly Girls Club lunches, lake time getaways and splurge vacations.
When not passing her time with Ab, family or friends, including her hours of cooking and baking masterpieces for everyone, Marilyn was a dedicated volunteer with the Christmas Cheer Board.
At Marilyn’s request, there will be no formal service, but the family will be hosting a Celebration of Life later in the spring.
In lieu of flowers, if friends so desire, donations in memory of Marilyn can be made to the Alzheimer’s Society of Canada.
