MARNIE LETCHFORD
Sadly our family announces the passing of our
mother and grandmother on Friday, October 17, 2014 following a long illness.
Mom was born on May 29, 1927 in Winnipeg and
lived her entire life in the city she loved.
She was married to Stewart Millett for 38 years and raised four
children. She was a devoted mother, an
artist, loved to entertain and was an extraordinary hostess making all feel
welcome. A talented artist, she was a member of St. James Art club for many
years. A variety of organizations benefitted from Mom’s hours of volunteer work
including the St. James Y, the Kinsmen School, Kinette Club of Winnipeg, the
Red River Ex and different school organizations. She spent many happy hours
playing bridge with lifelong friends and during her five years at Sturgeon
Creek.
Four years after Dad’s death, she married
George Letchford and they spent ten happy years together before he passed away.
During her married life, she was fortunate to be able to spend over 30 years at
Lake of the Woods. Travelling the world, visiting friends and family along the
way was enjoyed by Mom throughout her life.
Remaining to forever cherish Mom’s life are her
four children- Jean (Steve), Sue (Gerry), Beth (Wolfgang), and Clint (Shelley)
and Clint’s former wife Janet; as well as her ten grandchildren and the ever
growing number of great-grandchildren, and her stepchildren- Bob (Barbara),
Marilyn (Chris) and their families. She was predeceased by her stepson, Tom.
We would like to express our sincere
appreciation to her loyal friend, Cec Southgate whose regular visits were a
bright spot in Mom’s days. Thanks also to the staff at Sturgeon Creek and
Homecare. So many of the wonderful staff at Charleswood Care Centre and Golden
West Centennial Lodge provided loving care to Mom. Their sense of humor,
positive attitude and gentleness made her last years more bearable. We can’t thank you enough.
A celebration of Marnie’s life will occur at a
later date.
Flowers are gratefully declined. If you so
wish, memorial donations may be made to a charity of your choice.
