MARY GAYLE NICKEL January 26, 1936 - September 3, 2002 It is with great sadness the family announces the passing of Mary Gayle Nickel, beloved wife of Walter on Tuesday, September 3, 2002 at the St. Boniface Hospital. Mary leaves to cherish her memory her husband of 46 years Walter; her children, Sharon (Gordon) Trites, grandchildren, Tasmin and Deanna; Geraldine (Mike) Beaulieu, grandchildren, Kyle and Codey; Ronald (Lucille) Nickel; her sister Anne (Frank) Bednar and their children, Norman and friend Olga, Gayle (Marvin) Gerbrant and children, Neil (Dorothy) Bednar. Mary is also survived by her stepbrothers and stepsister, George (Elsie) Jaman, John (Carolyn) Jaman, Morris (Sandra) Jaman, Elsie (Larry) Smook and all of their families. Mary also leaves her in-laws, George (Lorraine) Nickel, Maureen Nickel, Elmer (Linda) Nickel, Lloyd Nickel and their families. Marys memory will also be cherished by her many friends. Mary was predeceased by her parents, William and Nellie Jaman; grandson Brandon Henry Beaulieu at birth and her father-in-law and mother-in-law, Henry and Emma Nickel; brother-in-law Edward Nickel; and sister-in-law Lynda Nickel. Mary married Walter Nickel on June 23, 1956 and spent her time with her family, working at K-Mart for 27 years, busy sewing, baking and her many crafts. A celebration of Marys life will be held on Friday, September 6 at 1:00 p.m. in the Edward J. Coutu Funeral Chapel, 680 Archibald St. with interment to follow at St. Vital Cemetery. The family would like to thank the CancerCare, doctors and staff on 5B at St. Boniface Hospital. In lieu of flowers, if friends so desire, donations may be made in Marys memory to the CancerCare of Manitoba. God saw that she was getting tired And a cure was not to be, So He put His arms around her and Whispered, "Come with Me". With tearful eyes we watched her suffer And saw her fade away. Although we loved her dearly, We could not make her stay. A golden heart stopped beating, A hard working hand laid to rest. God broke our hearts to prove to us, He only takes the best. In care of arrangements: EDWARD J. COUTU LTD. 680 Archibald St. 253-5086
