Virginia Rose Mariash

March 4, 1938 – March 22, 2016

After a courageous battle with cancer, Virginia passed away at Riverview, Tuesday, March 22 with family by her side.

She is survived by her children David (Sharlynne), Ron (Arlene), Karen Klos (Randy), Susan Clarke (Lance) and their families; her Husband Harry Thiessen; Step-children Rick (Dolores), Kathy Denny (Bruce), David (Rose), Donna Boiteau, Darren (Carla) and their families; siblings and in-laws.

She was predeceased by her first Husband Bernard (1998), Daughter Patricia (2014) and her parents.

Virginia was born in Ladywood.  She married Bernard in 1958 and was a farm wife and stay at home mom.  They moved to Winnipeg in 1998, a few months prior to his passing.  She went to work full time in 1991 and retired in 2009.

Virginia was an energetic lady who loved life and keeping busy.  She was always baking and making perogies for family, friends and her co-workers.  Virginia enjoyed golfing with the Iron Maidens Ladies Golf League and annual Still Cove Tournament and made many friends.

Later in life she met and married Harry who cherished her.  She loved the time they spent at the cabin working and gardening.

Virginia was a nurturer and was always ready to lend a hand to anyone in need.  She holds a very special place in the hearts of her family and extended family.
