FRANCIS LAVERNE (VERN) COULTER

Francis Laverne “Vern” Coulter passed away peacefully at the Rideau Park Personal Care Home (PCH) in Brandon on Friday, June 6, 2025, at the age of 82.

Vern was predeceased by his parents, Lorne Coulter and Mabel Coulter, and his brother Larry.

Remaining to cherish his memory are his wife Joan, son Bill (Cali Ramsey), grandchildren, Brady and Juliana, and stepson Neal Stock (Lorena Gawaziuk-Stock).

Vern was born on December 1, 1942, in Deloraine, Manitoba, and was raised on the family farm in the Coultervale district. As a child, Vern kept busy with responsibilities on the farm and was active in sports.

Vern spent the majority of his career working with RBC, serving as a respected branch manager in numerous communities throughout the province. Following his retirement in the early 1990s, he drove for the Brandon Airport Shuttle for a number of years. Vern also gave back to the community in the form of volunteer work across many organizations.

Vern was a fierce competitor, with notable accomplishments in baseball, curling, and golf.

A private funeral service for family and close friends will be held in the near future.

The family would like to extend their heartfelt appreciation to the staff at the Brandon Hospital, Rideau Park PCH, and Hillcrest PCH for Dad’s care over the past two and a half years.

In lieu of flowers, donations can be made in memory of Vern Coulter to the Alzheimer Society of Manitoba to support Dementia research at https://alzheimer.mb.ca
