JOHN CARLSON
October 13, 2004
JOHN (JACK) CARLSON Jack Carlson, aged 70 years of Matheson Island, died tragically October 8, 2004 on Lake Winnipeg. Jack was born
to Kathleen and Ingemar Carlson on June 27, 1934. His memory will be forever cherished and held dear by his loving and devoted wife, Dianne (nee Remillard); his only child, Monique and her husband Rob Gibbons; and his grandchildren, Michelle and Sean, who were his pride and joy. Also surviving him are his seven siblings, Dave (Gert) Carlson of BC, Allie Mowat of Selkirk, Edna Bennett of Winnipeg, Vernie Bennett of Headingley, Joe (Edie) Carlson of Matheson Island, Millie Bruce of Matheson Island and Bernard (Elva) Carlson of Thompson; as well as numerous other relatives and friends. Jack was a hard worker and held jobs in B.C., at the Gimli Air Force Base, and in Winnipeg at Furnasman, Etna Htg. and CN before moving north to Berens River to work for the Frontier School Division. The family lived there for six years before Jack transferred to Matheson Island to be nearer his parents and siblings. From his retirement in 1989-90 and until his passing, Jack made his livelihood by commercial fishing and trapping. The family takes great comfort in knowing that Jack died where he was the happiest: on the lake. They wish to extend their deepest gratitude to all those who participated in the search for Jack and to everyone who provided solace and support during this most difficult time. A service will be held at 3:00 p.m. Wednesday, October 13 at Riverton Community Hall, 175 Riverton Ave., Riverton, MB with Rev. Neill von Gunten officiating.

MABEL HOLMES
October 13, 2004
MABEL HOLMES Mabel Holmes of Neepawa, MB passed away peacefully on Saturday, October 9, 2004 at the age of 91 years. Mabel is survived by her daughter Beverly and son-in-law Marvyn Grant; and grandsons, Gordon (Jennifer) Grant and their children, Jordan and Mackenzie, David Grant and Carol Wilson and her children, Jordon and Paige. She is also survived by her sister Muriel Burnett, sister-in-law Florence Baroni and many nieces and nephews and great-nieces and great-nephews. Her daughter Beverly was the light of her life. Their relationship would be envied by many. She was so proud of her grandsons, Gordon and David; and great-granddaughter Mackenzie, "the apple of her eye". She was predeceased by her beloved husband Gordon Holmes in 1979; her parents, Jack and Verna Biles; her sisters and brothers-in-law, Bernice and Jon Olson, Phyllis and Gerald Parrott, Ruby and Peter Naaykens; and brother-in-law Don Burnett. Born in Dauphin, MB on April 23, 1913, Mabel spent her childhood in Dauphin and Neepawa. The oldest of five girls, she often was at her dad's side helping with the daily chores and looking after her younger sisters. This caring part of Mabel gave her the desire to pursue nursing. She attended St. Boniface Hospital in 1934 and became a registered nurse in 1937. Her nursing career took her to Boston, MA and New Haven, CT. She returned to Canada and married her childhood sweetheart Gordon Holmes on July 14, 1940. Her nursing career continued in Sherridan, MB, Neepawa and Winnipeg where she was a leader in her profession. Gordon's work took them to British Columbia and they settled in Burnaby. They spent many wonderful years camping and enjoying the mountains and ocean until Gordon's illness in 1973 forced them to return to Neepawa. For many years after her retirement she continued to have a keen interest in the medical field and kept up to date with the changes that were occurring. The world changed immensely during Mabel's life. She grasped the changes with enthusiasm and was able to adapt and understand the changing ways of the world. She was very open minded and was also very spiritual. She missed her dear Gordon always and is now at rest with him. Mabel was on her own for many years. She was the matriarch of the family, a place we all considered "Central Command". She always had a genuine interest in everyone's life and was the centre of the family circle. She listened intently, cared immensely and was always quite open with her opinion and advice. Her extended family was very important to her. She will be missed by all. Rest in peace Mabel. You earned it. Funeral service will be held on Thursday, October 14 at 1:00 p.m. at White's Funeral Chapel, Neepawa. Interment to follow at Riverside Cemetery. Friends who so desire may make a donation in Mabel's memory to the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Manitoba, 200-6 Donald St., Winnipeg, MB R2L 0K6.
