Obituary

Alice Unger

Alice Unger aka “Jackie” of Kelwood, Manitoba passed away March 8, 2023 at age 67 after a long battle with dementia. She died in Neepawa hospital surrounded by her friends and family.

Alice was born to parents Jake Kuip and Laurette Gauthier in St. Rose du lac, MB on March 15, 1955 and was raised on a dairy farm with her siblings Roland and Renée. At the tender age of 16 Alice graduated from Kelwood Collegiate in 1971 and completed her nursing diploma from Red River college in 1973 – one of the youngest people to graduate from the program.

Shawn George Willis (Smiley)

On April 21, 2023, in Brandon hospital, Shawn passed peacefully with his family surrounding him, holding his hand and admiring his strength.

Shawn was born February 17, 1959 in The Pas, Manitoba, 2nd born to Robert & Georgina Willis.

Shawn was predeceased by his Father Robert. He is survived by his Mother Georgina, Brothers Rob (Pat), Cam (Maxine), Sisters Margie (Barry) & Jen. Along with many Nieces and Nephews.

Shawn also leaves behind his Wife/Best Friend & Love of over 30 years Tracy (Bialas) Willis. His children, Sons Cory (Triss), Brennan (April) & Daughter Logan (Mike).

He was so very proud of all his grandchildren Harper, Rylee, Rylan, Harlee & Lachlan.

Shawn was a 4th Class Power Engineer and retired in September, 2020 from Neepawa Hospital/Country Meadows Personal Care Home. He was also General Manager of the Triple Leaf Alfalfa Plant here in Minnedosa for many years.

Shawn developed a love for the outdoors at a young age and passed that love on to his children. He was an avid fisherman and was always ready to tell you a fishing story. Shawn & Tracy had the most memorable sunflowers in town & a garden that showed their pride and joy for the outdoors. Their backyard is a beautiful haven for all types of songbirds and a perfect place for their beloved pets over the years. As well a welcoming space for all their family and friends.

Shawn was known as “Smiley” to all that knew him and could most certainly bring a smile to the face of anyone he talked to. He was a true friend to so many & his light will be truly missed.

As per Shawn’s wishes there will be no funeral service. A private family graveside gathering will be held at a later date.

She is also survived by her spouse and business partner David Koszman.

Comments from friends and family:

“Alice was a kind and gentle soul, who loved life, people and animals”.

“She was a strong, kind and independent woman that loved to reach out and help you with whatever you needed. She had lots of lessons to teach each of us and to know her was an amazing experience”.

“Alice was a brilliant, hardworking, caring person who cherished her family and her friendships. She was a beautiful person inside and out”.

Memorial for Alice to be held this summer, her ashes will be laid to rest in Riding Mountain cemetery.

Announcement

Letter: ‘Where is your conscience?’

Continued from Page 5

Do you not consider or care about all the various birds, the nests full of eggs, the young birds already hatched, the multitude of young animals (squirrels, rabbits,lynx,martins, etc), the deer, the elk, the moose calves that are going to be burned alive? Where is your conscience? How can you live with yourselves?

All your big fancy words such as “ecological conditions and grassland communities” are very empty and hollow when you picture the fire sweeping over all these defenceless birds and animals.

You people who are making these decisions and carrying them out appear to not have an ounce of common sense. What happened to “Help prevent forest fires, keep our forests green”? It would be much better for the Park and everything in it if you would just leave it alone. Nature has done a pretty good job for the past thousand years of taking care of the Park and will continue to do so in the future without your so-called help!

I expect a reply.

Very sincerely, Robert McRae Kelwood, MB
