Margaret Sterzer Obituary check_circle

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved wife, mother, grandmother and great-grandmother, surrounded by family on Saturday, March 18, 2017 at the Selkirk General Hospital at the age of 87 years.

She will be lovingly remembered by her husband of 67 years Larry; children, Laura (Rob), David (Deborah), Rick (Shannon), Norman (Karen) and Sandy. She cherished each of her many grandchildren, young and old. She was predeceased by her parents, David and Elizabeth and sister Nora.

Mom was born in Winnipeg, Manitoba on February 20, 1930. She married the love of her life, Larry Sterzer and soon had 5 children. Larry and Marg moved to Lockport, MB to raise horses and start a small hobby farm but soon discovered they needed a bigger place so moved to their forever home in Petersfield MB.

Marg worked for Inland Trust and Savings for many years and volunteered with the St. Andrews/St. Clement’s Agricultural Society where she made many friends and was the Secretary/Treasurer for the St. Anne’s Roman Catholic Church in Petersfield. Mom loved to sing and dancing the jive and jitterbug with her husband. Mom didn’t say a lot but was always the quiet voice of reason and gave us some pretty incredible advice over years.

A Memorial Mass will be celebrated on Saturday, March 25 at 11:00 a.m. in the Notre Dame Roman Catholic Church in Selkirk, MB with Father Stan Gacek officiating. Lunch will follow and a private family interment will take place at a later date in the St. Anne’s Cemetery.

We would like to express our heartfelt thanks to all the staff at the Selkirk General Hospital for their care and compassion.

Donations can be made in Marg’s memory to the Alzheimer’s Society or the Manitoba Lung Association.
