It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our Dear Mother, Colleen Louise Paluch (nee McClernon).
Mom passed away on December 30th after a short fight against bone marrow cancer. She leaves to mourn Edward, her husband of 58 years, daughters, Leah, Anita (Kevin), Adelle (Siggi) and son, Charles (Shelly), grandchildren, Brittany, Christopher, and Samantha and great grandchildren Aurora and Lincoln. She also leaves to mourn her sisters Maureen, Nancy and Charlene, and brother Don.
Mom was born in Winnipeg, but raised by her aunt, Florence Hodgskin, in Carberry Manitoba.
Mom had a variety of jobs with the last job being a courier with United Messenger after retiring from the Winnipeg Tax Centre.
She was a member of the Orange Lodge, Royal Purple and the Manitoba Orchid Society.
Thank you to the staff on 3 unit 5-7 of the Seven Oaks Hospital and Dr Dao of Cancer Care.
Cremation has taken place and she will be interred in the Carberry cemetery with a memorial service at a later date.
