1936 – 2025
Marie Dary passed away January 10, 2025 with family at her bedside.
Marie (Rose) will be remembered by sister’s Elsie (Andy), Donna, Fern, Janet (Jim), nephew’s Steve (Val), Shawn, extended family and dear friends.
If you met her, she would have introduced herself to you as Marie, and you would have met her impeccably attired and presented. She bore herself with a serious demeanor adopted through decades of her professional career with the CN Railway and the Manitoba Government. Marie never missed anything and never forgot anything, if it was worth doing; she did it with the precision of a professional.
If you knew her, you may have known her as Rose. A North End kid, Norquay School alumni, and a St. John’s Tiger. Maybe you knew her at a little green cottage near the shore of Lake Winnipeg sporting a tilly hat, trowel in hand and puttering in her garden. You knew how she and her husband Ray adventured together for decades, through dating and marriage in the old neighbourhood, through many friendships, many countries, and many challenges late in life. You may have known her as witty and funny. She may have been your family or your friend; she may have been your mentor who was interested in how you were doing. You knew for sure you had someone who would ride out a storm with you or share and celebrate the good times with you. You’ll remember her at her best as your sister, auntie, friend, or neighbour.
Usque ad Astra, surely, she is closer today than she has ever been. Marie was predeceased by her parents, husband Ray, brother Reg. According to Marie’s wishes there will be no service.
In lieu of flowers please consider donations to St. Boniface hospital or any local food bank.
