JOANNE SCHIEWE It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Joanne Schiewe on Monday, August 29, 2016, a week and a half after her 36th birthday. Diagnosed in February, 2015 with glioblastoma, a terminal brain cancer, Jo made the most of every day, surrounded by the love and incredible pride of her family and friends. She is survived by her partner Jared Spier; parents, Wilfred and Eveline; brother Brian and sister Karen Merrick (Wade); nephews, Connor, Robert and Dawson and niece Chloe. Joanne grew up in Morris, Manitoba and graduated from Morris School in 1998. Her feisty character may have caused a few headaches in her teens and some tough lessons through her twenties, but it also helped Joanne mature into a strong, beautiful woman, with a wonderful zest for life. Jo had a passion for helping people, so decided to pursue a career in Human Resources, and took much pride in her chosen profession. She also started running and it wasn't long before she was completing marathons. Eventually she branched out into adventure racing and triathlon, conquering Ironman Boulder in August, 2014. Whatever she did and wherever she went, from childhood to adulthood, one thing remained constant ! if you were Jo's friend, you remained Jo's friend. The enduring connections Joanne forged throughout her journey were incredibly meaningful and especially valuable to her. Whether as a friend, co-worker, training partner, coach or just that girl I met', Joanne inspired countless people with her energy, passion and wacky sense of humour. After her diagnosis, the response and support from Joanne's vast network of friends was outstanding. Hundreds upon hundreds of people, from Manitoba and beyond, got behind Jo and supported her efforts to raise awareness and funds for Brain Cancer research and treatment. To date, Joanne has raised over $80,000... and her legacy is one we will all work to continue. A service to celebrate Joanne's life will be held on Tuesday, September 6 at 7:00 p.m. at Soul Sanctuary, 2050 Chevrier Boulevard in Winnipeg. Her family and friends would like to offer their heartfelt thanks to Dr. Marshall Pitz and his team at CancerCare Manitoba, and all of the healthcare providers that cared for Jo during her illness. In lieu of flowers, anyone wishing to show their appreciation of Joanne is encouraged to add to her legacy via donation to Canadian Cancer Society at 193 Sherbrook St., Winnipeg, MB R3C 2B7 or www.cancer.ca. All donations made "in memory of Joanne" will be doubled! THOMSON "IN THE PARK" 204-925-1120 Condolences may be sent to www.thomsoninthepark.com

We met Joanne when she was about 8 years old. She went to school with our daughter Holly and they became fast and forever friends. What we remember about Joanne is incessant chatter, giggles and laughter (traits we loved). I will always picture her with that beautiful smile and a twinkle in her eyes. She was lively and animated, adventurous and fearless. Joanne was also sweet, kind and lovely. What precious memories we have of her and we will hold her close in our hearts always. - Posted by: Don and Bonnie Alston (Friend) on: Sep 03, 2016

We know first hand how devastating a cancer diagnosis can be on the whole family. We lost our 18 yr old son Dylan just this past May to Lymphoma after a very brave and hard 2 year fight as well as his grandfather just a month before. Joanne has left a lasting impression on all those who knew her. Her courage and determination were remarkable. Remember her that way. Our deepest condolences to you all and know she is in very good company up in Heaven. Lynne - Posted by: Lynne and Rheal Berard () on: Sep 03, 2016
