Dennis William McMillan

Dennis passed suddenly while on vacation in Daytona Beach, Florida on January 13, 2023 with family at his bed side. He had spent his last week golfing with friends, walking on the beach and enjoying dining out at their favorite spots.

Dennis was born in Portage la Prairie on December 26, 1948 to Florence and Bill McMillan. He was predeceased by an infant brother, Andrew Malcolm, and his parents, Bill and Florence. He is survived by his wife Marilyn, their children Nancy (Harry), Hugh (AC) and Marcie (Ibrahim), grandchildren Clara, Lucy and Anna, as well as his brother Robert (Linda); along with extended family and friends.

Dennis was born and raised in Portage la Prairie. He studied pharmacy at the University of Manitoba and graduated in 1970. He worked for Orville Wagner in Portage for ten years. His main wish was that he would own and operate a pharmacy in a small prairie town. This wish came true when he and Marilyn purchased the pharmacy in Carberry and successfully ran it from 1979 until 2007 as McMillan Pharmacy.

Dennis and Marilyn enjoyed travelling on holidays. Some of the places they enjoyed were Cozumel (10 years), New Zealand, Ireland, Germany and Florida. Dennis liked the cottage at Delta Beach that his parents purchased in 1957. He loved watching his three young children playing in the sand, water and then watching his three grandchildren enjoy it as much as the rest of the family.

A memorial service will take place on Friday, February 3, 2023 at 2:00 at Trinity United Church in Portage la Prairie, MB. The service will be live streamed a link will be provided on his obituary page at www.mckenziesportagefuneralchapel.com.

As expressions of sympathy, donations may be made in Dennis’ memory to Central Plains Cancer Services, 318 Saskatchewan Ave. E., Portage la Prairie, MB R1N 0K8 or RM of Portage la Prairie, 35 Tupper Street S Portage la Prairie, MB R1N 1W7 for the marina at Delta. A tree will be planted in memory and cared for by McKenzies Portage Funeral Chapel. www.mckenziesportagefuneralchapel.com

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our sweet boy Zander Gregory Campbell who left us on January 8, 2023 at the age of 14.

Zander was a kind, loving, outgoing, thoughtful soul who was wise beyond his years. He loved exploring and spending time in nature. He spent countless hours outside dirt biking, quadding, tobogganing, hiking, hunting, and building things in the bush. He was an incredibly hard worker who prided himself in a job well done.

Zander had many amazing groups of friends that he loved spending time with. He had a competitive spirit and loved sports including hockey, baseball, badminton, volleyball, junior rifle club, dirt biking, and track and field. He had a beautiful community of people surrounding him at Carberry Collegiate and he often came home with stories about his day and how great his teachers and friends were.

One of Zander’s favorite things was to share and listen to stories. He was a fantastic listener! When you spoke to him, he listened with his whole soul, and he could talk to anyone about anything. He was genuinely curious about life and the world around him. He fit more living and connection into his short 14 years than many do in a lifetime.

His bright smile, sparkling eyes and calm spirit will be missed by everyone who had the pleasure to meet him.

He was predeceased by his great grandparents, Earl Gregory, Jim Daniel, Colin Campbell, Albert Chacun and Elaine Krause.

He will forever be loved and remembered by his parents Cody and Leanne Campbell, his younger sister Ezmay and little brother Crozby; Grandparents Les and Myra Gregory, Reg and Angel Campbell; Aunts and Uncles Jody and Darren McKay, Sharlene and Ernie Clarke and Vicky Campbell, many cousins and Great Grandparents Betty Gregory, Jean Daniel, Audrey Campbell and Danny Krause.

Obituary

Alfred Fredrick Newton

October 20, 1920 – January 15, 2023

Alfred Newton passed away peacefully at Country Meadows, Neepawa, Manitoba at the age of 102.

Alfred Newton was born October 20, 1920 to Arthur and Ella Newton at Neepawa, Manitoba.

He grew up in a family of six. At the age of seven the family moved to Eden and it was there he received his formal education. The family made their living as farmers and although living through the depression was difficult Alfred had many cherished memories of a happy childhood. When his father Arthur died at a young age, Alfred and his brother Bob were there to take over and run the farm. Alfred had to forgo his education due to the necessity of running the farm but he remained intellectually curious and a lifelong learner. His family moved to Kelwood in 1938 and continued to farm.

During World War 2 he joined the Royal Canadian Air Force. He saw active service in South East Asia and is proud of the contribution that he made to our country’s freedom.

In 1952 he married Daisy McIntryre of Ochre River and they took up farming together close to Kelwood. During their time farming Alfred was very active in his community and Daisy taught in the local school. He served on the local United Church board for many years and then later the McCreary Gospel Church where he and Daisy were faithful members. He served on the local Pool Elevator board for 26 years and the Neepawa Gladstone Coop for 17 years. Curling was a passion of his and he was active in keeping curling and skating a vital part of the Kelwood community. Daisy and Alfred farmed till 1999 when they retired to Neepawa.

Alfred had a sharp wit and wonderful memory. He was always kind, gentle and thoughtful in his conversation and interactions with others. He remained dedicated to his church and his faith was a pillar of support throughout his entire life. He was predeceased by his wife Daisy, his parents Arthur and Ella, his brother Bob, sisters Grace, Ivadel and Betty. He will be deeply missed by his family; daughter Katherine and son in law Mervin, grand children Amber and Paul Young, brother Russ (Eileen) and nieces and nephews.

The family wishes to express their heartfelt appreciation to the staff of Country Meadows here in Neepawa for the compassionate care they provided to Alfred at the end of his journey. Friends and family are invited to a service at Neepawa First Baptist Church at 11:00 am on January 20, 2023 with the Reverend Fred Quist officiating and White Funeral Home providing the funeral arrangements. All are welcome to attend a luncheon after the service and celebrate the life of Alfred.
