She fell into a final peaceful sleep six days later. Thelma was predeceased by her husband Robert Fayle and Kaare Tandberg, her wonderful partner of 18 years. Thelma leaves her children: Barb (Colin), Judee (Ken), Thelma (Daryl), Les (Teresa), Heather and Robert (Rita). In addition: Doris (Oriano), Eric, Lisa (Torgeir) and Doug (Mindy). Grandchildren: Bob (Christine), Patricia, Andrea (Colin), Melanie, Christopher, Nikki, Corey (Cubbie!), Keith (Cortlynne), Carly (Brandon), Troy (Jessica), Mandy (Drew), Eric (Bev), Jillian (Cody), Shawn (Mélise) and Magnus. Greatgrands: Jeremy (Aliya), Tommy, Mikey, Finley, Natalie, Ryder, Frankie Marie, Jeff, Emma, Benny and the newest family joy - the sweet Kaylee Hicke. And there was her Sons of Norway friends, Ukranian cultural-center chums, Newfoundland pals and Bingo buddies; with caller Bert who used to stop in the middle of calling and say: "my girlfriend just walked in, hi Thelma". So many adopted family members called her Ma, Mom or Grandma. And she loved you all. Imagine; she named everyone in her prayers every night! She was our role-model of unconditional love . Special thanks to daughters Barb and Thelma and especially to grandson Corey - Mum's closest caregivers. In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to the Victoria Sons of Norway Ladies Auxiliary (via Jette Denluck). Mum loved her Sons of Norway family and valued her volunteer work with them over thirty years. Joyful celebration-of-life to follow - later.Les_Fhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07496813785269124375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6464100720604662734.post-55238811992188062852017-11-23T20:43:23.096-08:002017-11-23T20:43:23.096-08:00Enter SearchSEARCH PASSAGESADVANCED SEARCHTODAY...<br /><br />Enter SearchSEARCH PASSAGESADVANCED SEARCHTODAY'S OBITUARIES| LAST 30 DAYS OBITUARIES| TODAY'S IN MEMORIAMS| LAST 30 DAYS IN MEMORIAMS Notices are posted by 10 am Monday through Saturday<br />Including obituary notices published after 1999, and<br />In memoriam notices published after 2007<br />❮ Go Back to Listings<br />BRIAN THOMAS GEAREY Obituary pic<br />BRIAN THOMAS GEAREY<br />DATE OF PASSING: MAY 18, 2015<br /> <br />SEND FLOWERS TO THE FAMILY OFFER CONDOLENCES OR MEMORY<br />Adjust Text Size: A+ A-<br /><br />BRIAN THOMAS GEAREY It is with heavy hearts that we sadly announce the passing of Brian at St. Boniface Hospital on May 18, 2015 at the age of 67 years. Brian will be lovingly remembered and cherished by his wife Joan, son Kevin, daughter Laurie (Garrett) Nash, grandchildren Brooke (Tyler), Matthew, Nicholas, sister Debbie Gearey, brothers-in law Preston (Sandie) Taylor, Graham (Helen) Taylor and their respective families. Brian will be remembered for his great loyalty and devotion to his family and friends. Throughout his adult life he gave generously of himself to various community organizations, clubs, and charitable causes. In recent years Brian was fortunate to experience the joy of several travelling adventures, such as cruising throughout the Caribbean, exploring the vast beauty of Hawaii, and feeling the thrills of Las Vegas. Close to home, he enjoyed the fellowship of the Walleye Angler's Association of Manitoba (WAAM) Club which enabled him to revel in his love of sport fishing and boating. It was Brian's wish to return to Hawaii one day, as this was his newly discovered happy place. Therefore we will make this dream a reality and bring his cremains along with us when we also make our way back. We wish to express our sincere gratitude for the care and devotion provided by the various medical professionals throughout Brian's immense health challenges over the years. A celebration of Brian's life will be held on Saturday, May 23, 2015 at 2:00 p.m., Glen Lawn Funeral Home, 455 Lagimodiere Boulevard. In lieu of flowers, the family graciously requests that donations be directed to either The Canadian Diabetes Association of Manitoba or The Manitoba Heart and Stroke Foundation. Family and friends wishing to do so may sign a Book of Condolence at www.glenlawn.ca Dad, you will forever be our hero. You fought the good fight for so long, now you must rest.
