December 25, 1956 – June 15, 2021
It is with heavy hearts that we say so long to our Halloween loving Christmas spirit Elwera.
She is survived by her husband Clayton; daughters Melanie (Cory) and Andrea; as well as grandchildren Gretchen and Hunter. She is also survived by mother Lilly; siblings Lilly (Tom), Vern and Adele (husband Jeff and son Garrett). Vera is predeceased by her father Peter.
Known as Vera by most, she began life in Paraguay but soon arrived in Winnipeg. From a young age, she loved striking up a conversation with just about anyone. She loved hearing about other people’s stories, where they came from, what made them happy and empathizing with their pain. This trait stayed with her for life, as she grew into a young woman, loving wife, adoring mother then ecstatic grandmother. Vera often worked in clerical and administrative capacities. Her real love was for family life. Caregiving and selflessness seemed to be at her core, and she loved being with family wherever they went. That meant visiting friends and family, training dogs, going to craft shows, walking, but especially camping.
A private family service will be held in the future, and her family will carry her in their hearts forever.
In lieu of flowers, please consider donating to a pediatric program of CancerCare Manitoba.
