LESLIE CHARLES SNARR It is with deepest sorrow we announce the passing of our husband, father, grandfather, and brother, Leslie Charles Snarr, of Morris, MB, on Tuesday, January 14, 2003 at the Red River Valley Lodge. Leslie was born and raised in the Carleton District north of Morris. Les married Joy Rowan of Winnipeg in 1959 and they raised two children, Gordon and Kimberley. He farmed with his father Charles Snarr and later with his son Gordon. Les loved the outdoors, working with cattle and horses, and growing his crops. He took great pride in his work. In 1997 after the flood, he was diagnosed with cancer, but after surgery and treatment he recovered somewhat. In 1998 he was hospitalized and later moved to the Red River Valley Lodge, where he received such wonderful care from the staff. Les was predeceased by his mother and father, Anne in 1991 and Charles in 1986; and by his sister Marion Coleman in 1974. He is survived by his wife of 43 and one half years Joy; his son Gordon and friend Paula; daughter Kimberley; granddaughters, Ashley and Tracy; stepgrandchildren, Shawn and Shannon Degenstein; sister Mildred (Andy) Adams; brothers-in-law, Gerald (Irene) Coleman, Gordon (Margaret) Rowan, Jack Rowan; and several nieces and nephews, cousins, and other relatives. If friends so desire, a donation in Les memory may be made to the Red River Valley Lodge, the Morris United Church Memorial Fund, or a charity of their choice. The funeral service will be held at the Morris United Church on Thursday, January 16 at 2:00 p.m. Viewing at the church prior to the service. Interment in the Morris Cemetery.
