With much sadness, we announce the passing of our beloved husband, father and grandfather Denis MacPhee. Denis was born on March 14, 1946 and passed unexpectedly on February 14, 2025 at the St. Boniface Hospital.
He is survived by his loving wife of 58 years, Cecelia (Clairmont) and the joy of his life, his sons and their families, Matthew, Melanie (Colin), Ethan, Jenn (Finley) and Zachary, Martine (Ellie and Noah). He is also survived by his sister Carol MacPhee and her son Andrew and sister-in-law Audrey MacPhee and her daughters, Bree and Marlee.
He is survived by Cecelia's family, sister-in-law Grace Scheler and brothers-in-law, Ed Clairmont (Elaine), Frank Clairmont (Lorena), Robert Clairmont (Deb), and Alf Clairmont (Iris) and sister-in-law Liz Clairmont. He is also survived by nieces and nephews from the Scheler, Clairmont, Weger and Glass families in Winnipeg and the Field family in Australia.
Denis was predeceased by our first-born grandchild Devin; his parents, Finley and Louise (Swain) MacPhee and brothers, Ronald and Bernard MacPhee. He was also predeceased by Cecelia's parents, Angeline and Napoleon Clairmont and two sisters-in-law, Jeannine Clairmont and Patricia Clairmont.
Denis' last employment was with Canada Post. In 2002 at age 55, Denis was hired as a casual Letter Carrier. He worked his way up within the organization and when he retired, he was the Shift 3 Plant Manager.
Denis was pleased that he completed his last project three weeks before his death. He had been researching his ancestry and he received confirmation from the St. Boniface Historical Society that he was of Metis ancestry on his mother's side.
We will miss him because he was our port in the storm of life. He will always be with us in our hearts and in our thoughts as we remember all the wonderful memories we shared.
Cremation has taken place. A celebration of Denis' life will be held on Sunday, May 25, 2025 at Norberry-Glenlee Community Centre, 26 Molgat Avenue, Winnipeg from 1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m.
