Wojcik's Funeral Home - Marilyn Colwell Funeral Arrangements


MARILYN MARIE COLWELL
July 7, 1957 - February 25, 2013

            In keeping with Marilyn’s opinion that there never was a picture taken of her that she liked, the family will respect her wishes and not publish a photo of her. Marilyn was born July 7, 1957 in Halifax, Nova Scotia. At a very early age, she and her family packed up and moved from the right coast to the left coast, specifically Victoria, BC. Marilyn lived in Victoria until 1976 when she joined her much beloved Canadian Armed Forces. She served 36 years until her health issues forced her to retire in 2012.
            Left to cherish Marilyn’s memory are her husband Ross; son Josh, who was the love of her life. As well she is survived by her sisters Sandra and Catherine both of Victoria; her mother -in-law Lois of Winnipeg; numerous nieces; nephews; uncles; aunts; and many people in her second family in the forces. She was predeceased by her grandparents; mother; father and a brother; as well as her parents-in-law and one brother-in-law.
            Marilyn fought the fight of her life with all the determination and vigour that she put into everything that she did. To the end she had a steely determination and a quiet dignity. 
            In compliance with Marilyn’s wishes, there will be no Service.
            The family would like to thank Dr. Young of CFB, Winnipeg, Dr Maxwell, Dr “O”, Tracy, Bonnie and all the other staff at Cancer Care Victoria Hospital. We would also like to thank Dr Garcia, Dr “Ted“, all the nursing staff, medical assistants and all other staff  on 3E at the Riverview Health Center. The caring and compassion shown to Marilyn, Ross and Josh during the final days was truly above and beyond the call of duty. Winnipeg is lucky to have a facility like that available to those who need it.
