After a brief illness, it is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of Jean Marion McMahon on February 10, 2026, in Seven Oaks Hospital, Winnipeg MB at the age of 88 years. Wife of the late Dennis McMahon.

Predeceased: Spouse Dennis Patrick McMahon, parents Verna and Bob Mahan, brother Lyall Mahan, sister Ellen Kelly.

Jean was born to be a nurse, taking her RN schooling in Brandon MB and working in Macgregor and Hamiota General Hospitals. She and Dennis moved to Winnipeg in 1971 and even though she stopped working in the hospitals she moved her gift for gab and empathy to her friends and family. She was always the life of the party with her kindness, quick laughter and loyalty to her many friends. When Jean and Dennis moved into the Shaftesbury assisted living, Jean couldn’t help herself assisting others in the facility.

Special thanks to the care given at Seven Oaks Hospital for mom’s final journey. Also to the Shaftesbury that was home for many years, especially to the aids in the Blossom Program who helped mom stay at “home” for as long as possible.

Cremation has taken place and a family internment will follow.

I’m Free

Don’t grieve for me, for now I’m free

I’m following the path God laid for me

I took His hand when I heard Him call

I turned my back and left it all.

I could not stay another day

To laugh, or love or work or play

Tasks left undone must stay that way

I found that place at close of day.

If my parting has left a void

Then fill it with remembered joy.

A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss

Ah yes, these things, I too will miss.

Be not burdened with times of sorrow

I wish you sunshine for tomorrow

My life’s been full, I savored much Good friends,

good times, a loved one’s touch.

Perhaps my time seemed all too brief

Don’t lengthen it now with undue grief

Lift up your heart and share with me

God wanted me now, He sets me free.
