MARGARET ELVA THORUN ELDJARNSON (nee ARNASON) Peacefully with her loving family by her side, Mom/Amma/Lang Amma, Margret passed away on February 22, 2016 at the Gimli Community Health Center. Margret was predeceased by her loving husband, Vic; parents, Magnus and Gudrun; brothers, Kris and Steve; sisters, Lilja, Bara Thorsteinson, and Lara Stokell; son-in-law Terry Smith and great grand daughter Fijona Robak. She leaves to cherish her memory sons, Dennis and Robert (Michelle); daughter Elva Smith (Dean Woolley); grandchildren Trish (Curtis Grant) and JD, Shaylin and Elora, Inga (Darryl Robak), Stefan (Melany), and Kristjan (Jodi); great-grandchildren Madison and Colby, Joshua, Leif and Freyja, Taylor and Brooklyn. She also leaves to mourn her sister Eileen Wilbur, numerous nieces, nephews, cousin and friends. Mom was born in Riverton on June 19, 1925 and then moved to Gimli, where she attended school and met the love of her life, Vic. They moved to Winnipeg where mom worked for many years at Eatons. Mom and Dad retired in Gimli. After Dad's passing, Mom lived with her daughter Elva and family for many special years. Mom spent her remaining years at the Waterfront, where she made many special friendships. Mom was better known as Amma to all. She has a special charm, humour and beauty that everyone loved. She was young at heart and made everyone she met feel loved and special. She had a beautiful smile, twinkle in her eye and contagious laugh. Mom enjoyed cheering for the Blue Bombers and a Crown Royal, but most of all she loved her family. We would like to thank the Arborg Hospital and Gimli Community Health Centre staff for the wonderful care they gave mom. At mom's request, there will be no service. Cremation has taken place and burial will be done at a later date. Thank you to Gilbart Funeral Home for the arrangements. We will always remember and love you. Thank you for the love and memories.
