BETTY (NEE THURLING) MCCORMICK

JANUARY 7, 1929

Our dear Mom, lovingly called Nana by her grandchildren, passed away peacefully on Tuesday, October 27, 2026 while in her last residence, Oakview Place Care Home, at the age of 97 years. We thank the staff there for the wonderful care they provided Mom and the supportive help given to us her children. Before moving to Oakview, Mom chose to move to the Metropolitan Kiwanis where she resided for 6 years with many of her friends. She loved living there and the staff went out of their way ensure she was living her best life. Mom lived all her life in Winnipeg, where she met her husband George who has predeceased her. Mom and Dad met in the late 1940’s, married in 1950, and had a wonderful 62 years together. Those 62 years were full of love and life. Together they built a home, a family, a community. Mom learned the love of gardening at the side of her father a WW1 veteran, where they spent many precious hours together with Mom learning all about the flora from her father. For the remainder of her life, gardens were important to her, and she spent many hours in her own garden. Mom’s enjoyment of dancing started in her youth when she learned to tap dance. One of her favourite memories of dancing was when she travelled with her troupe to Portage la Prairie during WW2, and tap-danced for the soldiers. Later, many weekends would find Mom and Dad dancing the night away with friends. Her children always enjoyed the stories of her adventurous youth at Winnipeg Beach. These included weekends when she and her friends would hitchhike to the beach or hop aboard the “Moonlight Special”, riding it to the end of the line. Mom and Dad loved to travel, particularly by cruise ship (especially the 12 and 14 pound cruises), and overseas to the UK and Europe. They enjoyed many trips with friends throughout Canada and the USA, some of them gambling junkets with their friends from ANAVETS. Mom always lived life to the fullest, loved her family and friends. She was fun loving and ready to go anywhere, and experience things that had Dad worried more than a few times. In 1976, Mom and Dad installed a backyard pool which became the summer focal point for family and friends to gather together. You might drop by and have an impromptu visit with a cousin you didn’t know would be there, keeping family ties strong. Mom was kind and gracious to everyone and always had a smile for all. She was the ultimate hostess, and everyone was welcome to sit and have a cup a tea and a shortbread cookie. In the summer, if the garage door was open, everyone was welcome to come on through for a visit and a swim, neighbours, family including all the grandchildren, great-grandchildren and all their friends. The grand and great grandchildren were very important to Mom. A seemingly never ending supply of special treats and snacks like Smarties, and happy face shaped potato patties, were always in stock to bring a smile to a small one. A call to Nana on a beautiful summer day was all it took for the teenaged grandkids, and then great grandkids, to hang out with Mom and Dad for a backyard pool party. Many, many bags of chips and hot dogs were consumed in those summer afternoons with Nana organizing all of the teenage chaos with all the grace and kindness of an ultimate hostess. Mom was a member of The Red Hat Society but later became a member of the “Prairie Chicks” and enjoyed many fun occasions with her friends. Once a year she hosted all the “Chicks” in her backyard for a pool party. Being the ultimate hostess, she ensured that the pool was nice and warm for all her “Chicks”. Mom worked most of her life. As a teenager her first job while still a student, was typing in the school office because she was an exceptionally proficient typist. After school, she worked in a Market Garden, and as an usherette at the movie theatre, but her favourite job was at Tully’s Hardware Store. After a break to raise her family, she worked at Metro Drugs Pharmacy for 27 years, first beginning part time, and later, full time in the company’s offices. Mom is survived by her four children, Kim (Cal), Bruce (Melodie), Kit (Kris) and Joy (Gord), and her sister Beatrice. Mom was a proud grandmother to 10 grandchildren, Lon (Lee-Ann), Sky (Lisa), Susan (Nick), Brian (Jaimie), Meghan (Richard), Stephen (Catherine), Jessica, Evan (Kyle), Garrett (Jo-Ann), Justin, and 12 great grandchildren. In accordance with Mom’s wishes, cremation has taken place and instead of flowers, please donate to the Heart and Stroke Foundation.

A Celebration of Life will be held during a private family gathering at a future date.

Lift up our thoughts, lift up our songs

And let Thy grace be given

That while we linger here below,

Our hearts may be in Heaven.

CATHARINE LOLA PEARSON (Nee Matthews)

It is with great sadness that we share the passing of our wife, mother, grandmother, great grandmother, sister and aunt at Grace Hospital on Sunday, October 25, 2026. Left to mourn her passing are her husband Bob of 66 years, children Kim (Larry), Paul (Grace), David (Tracy), grandchildren Erik (Miranda, great-grandson Leon), Ian (Shanae), Kyle, Zara, Mya, Drew (Alanna), Callen, her sisters Maria (Alan) and Barbara; as well special nieces and great-nieces and nephews who were so dear to her. She is predeceased by her parents, Jean and Sydney and daughter Lauren. Mom was born on April 9, 1940 in Portage La Prairie, the second of three daughters. As a wartime baby, she met her dad at the age of 5 when he returned home. Her childhood years were spent in Portage with her parents and sisters where she made friendships that lasted a lifetime. At 9, the family moved to Winnipeg, and she later graduated from St. James Collegiate. Mom graduated from the Winnipeg General Hospital School of Nursing in 1962 and went on to work in various hospitals throughout Winnipeg. In the late 1950’s, she met the man she would forever spend her life with. They celebrated 66 years this past August. They first welcomed Kim in 1961. Lauren followed 5 years later and then Paul and David in 1972. Mom chose to be home with the boys until they started school. She returned to her nursing career at Grace Hospital, retiring in 1995. Mom loved being a nurse and she excelled at it. Because of her warmth and openness, patients were drawn to her and she made a positive impact on so many lives. The friendships she made with her coworkers over those 16 years were so special to her; connections she cherished for the rest of her life. When the boys were 13, they made the leap to Coleridge. This would be their forever home. Mom and Dad meticulously cared for their home and garden and took great pleasure in the yard. Endless hours were poured into creating a home they were so proud of. Their space would go on to host more parties than could ever be counted. There was always a reason to celebrate with family and friends. They hosted weddings of two of their children and even more wedding showers, baby showers and anniversaries, birthday parties and Sunday dinners. When the grandchildren joined the family, she met them with anticipation and excitement. Mom embraced the little boys in a bubbly tub with bright cheeks and offered Batman towels to warm them when coming out of the pool. She adored the first grandchild even when he fell asleep under leaves, defended the one that sneaked the Lego men, held close the blue plate for the one that preferred it, encouraged the one that firmly planted himself halfway up the rock garden seeking the summer sun, and protected the only one that had Grandpa put up lattice on the deck. The two little girls who followed all those boys were such a welcome sight for her – the one with the eyes and the one that chatted her ears off. She delighted in each of them. Mom and dad loved retirement. It meant family and many years of wintering in Arizona making lasting friendships. Retirement for mom also meant she could pursue her passion for quilting. She finally had space to create her “sewing room” and began her “collection” of fabric. She graced us with her gifts which we will cherish. Never to be forgotten were her endless crocheted afghans which were presented to each of us with love. Mom left a lasting impression with all she met. She entered every interaction with an open heart and acceptance. Not enough can be said of her character as she was truly a wonderful human that we could all aspire to be. This could be recognized by the endless visits throughout her time in hospital over the past several weeks. Thank you to those for the love and support you showed mom and her family. It was truly meaningful to her and us. Mom, we can’t begin to describe the depth of loss we feel without your loving watch. The strength and support you shared at times of hardship to each of us will be cherished. Thank you for all the love and guidance you have given.

Be still. Never mind. Don’t fuss.

The family would like to thank the staff at Grace Hospital for the care she received throughout her time. Cremation has taken place. At the wishes of mom, no service will be planned. In Lieu of flowers, those who wish may make a memorial donation to CancerCare Manitoba.

GEORGE EDWARD “ED” NOAKES Sept 13, 1931 – Oct 22, 2026

George Edward "Ed" Noakes, aged 95, passed away peacefully on October 22, 2026, following a brief stay at Grace Hospital. After a 38-year career with CNR, Ed embarked on a second career when he opened Eddie's Sharpening in 1982. For more than five decades, he could be found in his shop doing what he loved: sharpening knives, fixing clippers, and chatting with customers. Known for his gift of storytelling, Ed could turn a quick drop-off into a 30-minute conversation, often sharing tales from years gone by with anyone willing to listen. Ed was predeceased by his wife, Lila. He is survived by his children, Linda (widow of Richard) and Gordon (Angelica); grandchildren, Robyn (Jamie) and Monica (Stephen); and great-grandson, Levi. He will also be deeply missed by his lifelong friend, Wes Tully. Cremation has already taken place. Following Ed's wishes, a private family service will take place at a later date. The family would like to extend their heartfelt thanks to the doctors, nurses, and staff on the third floor at Grace Hospital for the compassionate care, kindness, and support they provided to Ed and his family during his final days. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to The Winnipeg Humane Society, one of Ed's favorite charities.

Mary-Ellen Margaret Hogue

MARY-ELLEN MARGARET HOGUE (1949-2026)

It is with profound sadness that her family announces the death of Mary-Ellen Hogue (nee Andrew) on October 20th, 2026, in Winnipeg at the age of 77. She was predeceased by her parents Alice and Gowan Andrew, and her brother Allan (Dianne). She is survived by her husband Leonard, children Jason, Trevor, and Derek (Ruth), granddaughter Amy, brother Hugh (Judy), and many nieces, nephews, relatives, and friends. Born in Winnipeg, Mary-Ellen grew up the youngest of three in East Kildonan, attending Prince Edward Elementary School, Monroe Junior High School, and then Miles Macdonell Collegiate. As a child, her greatest pleasure was summers spent at the family cottage, first at Toniata Beach at Falcon Lake, and then at Caddy Lake. She held fond memories of her time at Girl Guides camp just across the lake, long days trick- and slalom-skiing behind the boat, and weekly family trips into Kenora to take in the town. In her later teenage years, she was introduced to her best friend Jackie’s older brother Leonard. A courtship ensued, and within a few years they were married. They recently celebrated their 57th anniversary. The tradition of summers spent at the lake continued throughout her life, with her own children and her mom. Days were filled with fun, towing the kids around in the boat, sunbathing on the dock, and playing Scrabble or Yahtzee in the evenings. In later years, she would sometimes steal away for a quiet week alone, reading with her coffee on the front deck, doing crosswords, and listening to the birds sing. After a brief dalliance with nursing school, she changed course for something less emotionally difficult, opting to work in retail throughout her early years of motherhood. Later, she found great fulfillment taking on an administrative role at St. Andrews River Heights United Church, where her talent for organizing people and places bloomed. This experience would serve her well years later when she joined Red River College, leading the Distance Education Office. These would prove to be her most challenging and fulfilling years of work, where she made lifelong friendships that endured after her retirement from RRC in 2014. Few life events brought her more joy than the birth of her granddaughter Amy. She was a deeply proud grandmother, cherishing every opportunity to watch Amy blossom via dance competitions and vocal performances, telling anyone who would listen about just how talented her granddaughter is. Mom was a funny, kind, dedicated, and caring woman. She will be missed immeasurably by all who knew her, and especially by her dear family, who loved her with all their hearts. A celebration of life will be held at the First Unitarian Universalist Church of Winnipeg, 603 Wellington Crescent, on Tuesday, November 10th at 11am. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Winnipeg Humane Society. “Third-party obituary websites may display incomplete or inaccurate versions of this obituary.

Muriel Arlyne Whitley (née Johnson)

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Muriel Arlyne Whitley, our cherished wife, mom, grandma, sister, aunt, cousin, and friend. Muriel passed peacefully on the morning of October 9, 2026, at 77 years young. Muriel had the warmest smile and a contagious laugh. Compassionate and caring, she was also witty, down-to-earth, and full of life. She treasured her family and friends, always making time for a phone call, a visit, a lunch date, or a shopping trip. It was these everyday moments and connections that made her so special to the people who loved her. Muriel grew up on a farm in Ashern, Manitoba. Known affectionately to many as Merlie, she was the youngest of her siblings and the apple of her father’s (Barney) eye. She shared a special bond with her brothers, Terry (Marilyn) and Reg, and held a deep love for her mom, (Mickey), whose guidance, teachings, and love helped shape the person she became. Muriel and her husband, Ken, raised their daughters, Alanna and Lori, in Grosse Isle, Manitoba, where they lived for many years. She moved into Winnipeg in later years where she continued to be a devoted and loving mom who carried that same unconditional love into her role as a grandma. Her three granddaughters, Leah Morgan, Ruby, and Winter, were a tremendous source of joy and pride in her life. Muriel was very proud of her long and successful career with MTS. Along the way, she built friendships that extended well beyond the workplace, turning many of her colleagues into lifelong friends. She treasured the memories and connections she made throughout those years. Her love of travel took her across Canada and the United States, as well as overseas to Scotland and Ireland. One especially meaningful journey brought her to Iceland to meet relatives and connect with her family roots. Sparks flew when family came to visit. There were unforgettable laughs and good times always had when a Johnson family reunion, birthday or anniversary party was happening. Muriel will be deeply missed by her loving husband, Ken; her daughters, Alanna and Lori; and her beloved granddaughters, Leah Morgan, Ruby, and Winter. She also leaves behind her brother, Terry (Marilyn); nieces Jennifer (Ken), Diana (Doug), and Terri-Lynn (Terry); and nephew Cory (Shiela), along with many other family members and dear friends who will hold her memory close. We welcome your messages, memories, and stories of Muriel, and invite family and friends to join us in celebrating her life on Monday, November 23rd, at 5:00-9:00pm, at the Charleswood Legion, 6003 Roblin Boulevard, Winnipeg.

As Merlie would say, “See you later, alligator”
