MURRAY ALLISTER MCLEOD February 16, 1930 - August 25, 2017 Peacefully, with his family by his side, Murray passed away on August 25 at the age of 87. Beloved husband of Shirley, of 63 years. He will be dearly missed by his children Gordon (Jan) McLeod, Allen McLeod (Wendy), Sherri (Harvey) Rebalkin, Shannon (Rob) Glennie, and Larry (Janet) McLeod. Loving grandfather to Shaun (Nadine), Stacey, Kristi (Rodney), Jordan, Taylor, Scott, Lindsay and Neil. Cherished great-grandfather to Jaxon, Nash, Shaeden, Sydney, Lukas and Dalton. Special "father-figure" to Donald Adair. Predeceased by his seven brothers and three sisters. Dear brother-in-law of Vi (Lloyd) Neher. Murray was born in Mather, Manitoba on February 16, 1930 and was the youngest of 11 children. Murray married Shirley Hagborg in 1954, moved to Winnipeg for a short time, and then settled in Meadows where he proudly resided until his death. It was here they built their own homestead beside Shirley's parents, Andy and Henny and farmed for 30 years. Murray's greatest pride was his family and his favourite times were those spent with everyone all together at the farm. Meadows was home for over 60 years and this is where Murray made many life long friends. Murray was a dedicated member of the Marquette Co-Op and Honorary member of the Meadows Community Club. He enjoyed carpentry work, hunting, fishing and happy hour. He loved their big vegetable garden and beautifully manicured yard. He and Shirley enjoyed their trips to Hawaii, Florida, Eastern Canada, and their 15 years in Mesa, Arizona. Murray will be remembered as a quiet, patient man with a positive outlook on life. His sense of humour was truly cherished by all who knew him. A special thank you to all the nurses, doctors and staff of 3N Grace Hospital for your special care of Murray over the past weeks. Funeral service will take place on Wednesday, August 30, 2017 at 11:00 a.m. at MacKenzie Funeral Home, Stonewall, MB.
