GERTRUDE HAGMAN
(nee DESHARNAIS)

It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of our mom, Gertrude, on April 6, 2019, at Riverview Health Centre, at the age of 86 years. Mom passed peacefully after a courageous battle with congestive heart failure and cancer.
She was predeceased by her loving husband Lawrence (2001); her brothers, Edward and John; and her sister Eveline.
Mom will lovingly be remembered by her family, son Phillip (Lisa), son John and son Norman (Natalie); her four grandchildren, Randy, Louise, Roman (Anh) and Nadia; three great-grandchildren, Kaden, Greyson, and Rosa; her nieces, Annick, and Marie-Isabelle.
Gertrude was born in St. Pierre on April 17, 1932, where she grew up and moved to Winnipeg. On April 24, 1955, Gertrude married Lawrence Hagman and began their family. She worked for many years at MTS, Typoplate and Safeguard Business Systems. Upon retiring, Gertrude found great joy in caring for her family. She enjoyed cooking, knitting, gardening, and watching hockey on TV.
She was friendly and kind, and loved to chat with anyone who dropped by to visit. She was the most caring, giving person you could ever meet. She loved the beauty of nature
With calm acceptance of her condition, she continued to demonstrate a dignity and care for others. Mom quietly passed away.
Thank you John for caring for Mom all the years of her life. She loved you and appreciated all you did for her.

We miss you, Mom.
You will always be in our thoughts.

Memorial donations can be made to the Riverview Health Centre Foundation.
A small memorial service will be held at Whyte Ridge Baptist Church, 2405 McGillivray Blvd. on Thursday, April 11 at 7:00 p.m.

Your mom would crochet slippers, pot holders and scrubbers for many of us who loved them, even though we didn't know each other personally. We know that she will be greatly missed. Our sincere condolences and sympathies. Love, John and Nicole Reis - Posted by: Nicole and John Reis (BIL and SIL) on: Apr 09, 2019

  • Dear Johnny & family, I am so sad to hear about your mom's passing. Even though many years have gone by since we were neighbours, it feels like yesterday when I think back to the wonderful days when we lived a fence away and swapped recipes and sampled each other's home-grown veggies. As a matter of fact I still use your mom's zucchini recipe. I will always remember your mom's kindness and sunny disposition. My family and I are thinking about you and we would like to extend our sincere condolences to all the family. - Posted by: Carol Hatton (former neighbour) on: Apr 09, 2019

  • Dear Phil and Family, I am truly sorry to hear of your mother's recent passing. Although I never had the opportunity to meet her in person, if Phil is his mother's son, then she must have been a very beautiful, kind and generous person. I wish you my deepest condolences and may her fond memories be with you always. With my sincere sympathies, Paula Lytwyn - Posted by: Paula Lytwyn (Friend ) on: Apr 09, 2019
