MARSHA GAIL OLNICK Peacefully, with her family by her side, Marsha passed away at home, on February 26, 2018; nine months after being diagnosed with kidney cancer. She is survived by her husband Stephen; sons, Matthew and Reid; her sister-in-law Susan and husband John Fulton, of Cartier, MB and their children, Farrah, of Edmonton, AB and Cameron and wife Tammy, of Thompson, MB. She was predeceased by her parents Ruth and Mike Dushenko, as well as her father-in-law and mother-in-law, Nicholas and Ruby Olnick. Marsha was born in Winnipeg on December 30, 1954 and lived in St. James as a young girl before moving to Charleswood at the age of nine. She attended school there, graduating from Charleswood Collegiate. She was accepted into the Misericordia School of Nursing, graduating as a registered nurse in 1976. She worked at Grace Hospital initially and then was hired by Seven Oaks General Hospital when it opened in 1980. She worked on the surgical nursing units, day surgery, the recovery room and then in the operating room until her retirement. Marsha met Steve while in high school. They married in 1983 and moved to the farm at Stonewall, where they raised their two sons. She was very proud of their endeavours and accomplishments. Retirement gave her the opportunity to spend more time on the things she enjoyed, like gardening, reading and baking. Many hours were spent in the flower gardens arranging the plants to her satisfaction. Marsha enjoyed going to car shows in the US. The swap meet in Grand Rapids was a special favourite. She always found new ornaments for her garden there. The Crookston show was an opportunity to visit with friends that she only saw once a year. In keeping with Marsha's wishes, no service will be held. Cremation has taken place and a private family interment will take place at Grund at a later date. In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to CancerCare Manitoba Foundation, 1160-675 McDermot Ave., Winnipeg, MB R3E 0V9, to be directed to kidney cancer research. The family would like to thank Dr. Vamsee Torri and nurse Denise Klassen of CancerCare Manitoba for their care and guidance. Góda nótt elskan Ken Loehmer Funeral Services 204-886-0404

Our deepest condolences to Steve and sons. Marsha was a lovely lady, with whom I always enjoyed our infrequent visits, usually in a parking lot of the grocery store. It was always good to catch up on what our families were doing. Your family and friends/neighbours will miss her dearly.

"Many people will walk in and out of our lives, but only the most special will leave footprints on our hearts" For my sons Paul, Mark & Joel and myself Marsha was one that left footprints. Bright, loving, caring, funny, authentic, patient and loyal are only a few of Marsha's qualities. I had dinner with Marsha, Matt & Reid the last time I was in Winnipeg - what a special evening. Her love for her sons shone through. Her love for Steve was, as always a testament to their love.. I can only say that we love Marsha very much and will miss her. Our prayers and condolences to Steve, Matt and Reid. - Posted by: Marjorie Furber (Friend) on: Mar 04, 2018
