AMARYLLIS DYCK
It is with much sorrow that we announce the passing of our mother, nana, and sister, Amaryllis Barbara Jean Dyck (nee Holloway).
Amaryllis was born in Revelstoke, British Columbia, on April 15, 1946. She grew up in Horndean, Manitoba - the eldest of eight children.
She is survived by her daughter Tracy (John), son Robert (Carla) and three wonderful grandchildren, Lane, Adam and Ben. She is also survived by her siblings, Heather (Remo), Naomi (Harold), Gloria, Dan (Chris), Gladwyn and James, and numerous nieces and nephews. Amaryllis was predeceased by her husband, Ervine, brother, John (Lillian) and sister-in-law Lorraine.
Amaryllis enjoyed a long career as a senior executive at the Hudson’s Bay Company. She also worked at an executive level at the Manitoba Telecom Services prior to her retirement. Following retirement, she and Ervine moved to Toronto to be closer to Tracy and her family. She enjoyed 12 years there being heavily involved with the grandkids. She loved those years. Following Ervine’s passing, Amaryllis returned to Winnipeg and spent the last six years hanging out with her grandson Ben and her many wonderful friends including Marlene, Kim, Viv, Judy and Madeleine and family in the city.
Despite her numerous medical hardships over the last several years, Amaryllis remained optimistic and determined. She refused to let her difficulties limit her. She was always out and about despite her pain. A friend said, "she might be tiny, but she is mighty!"
Amaryllis loved animals. She had three beloved dogs who predeceased her - Herbie, Katy and Maddie. One dog, Bernie, survives her.
In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to the Winnipeg Humane Society.
We are planning a Celebration of Life in mid-December. Details can be obtained from family members or this funeral home.

Condolences & Memories (3 entries)

Through my entire childhood Amaryllis was a constant presence -- regular family visits, every Birthday party for my sister [Tanis] and I during our elementary school days and many other special occasions. She meant a great deal to my mother (Marlene), and she always showed an interest in the events of my life, whenever we had an opportunity to spend time together. During those times, I felt a family connection with her. She was loved by many and will be dearly missed. - Posted by: Travis Wiens (Lifelong family friend ) on: Nov 25, 2024

My sincere sympathy to Amaryllis’s family for their loss. I was lucky enough to grow up in a time when extended family was a big part of one’s life. As such, Amaryllis, Heather, my brother Donald and I would find mischief at our grandparents home. What fun. She will be missed by so many. - Posted by: Lynne Martel (Cousin) on: Nov 23, 2024
