Marie Persoage
On January 27, 2026, Marie passed away after a brief but courageous battle with cancer at the age of 68.
Mom will be deeply missed by her children and their families: Ryan and Christy (Tyler and Maya), Will and Elaine (Liam), Alanna (Talia), Travis and Nicci (Niasha, Adam, Lyssa and Logan), as well as her brothers and sister, and countless nieces, nephews and friends. She was predeceased by her husband Dennis, her parents Harry and Mary Ambrose, sisters Irene Wilchuk and Dianne Tzar, and many other close family members.
Mom grew up in Rembrandt as the youngest of eight brothers and sisters. Although some of her siblings had moved away by the time she was born, she was very close to each one. She always cherished the times when the entire family would get together at the farm for Ukrainian Christmas.
Mom married the love of her life Dennis Persoage in May 1979, and moved to Teulon the same year. After a few months they moved to the family farm in Pleasant Home, where they raised their four kids and enjoyed spending their free time with friends and family until Dad’s passing in 2019. A year later she moved to Stonewall, where she made friends with everyone in her apartment building, and enjoyed the potlucks and feeling of community. In 2024 she made the decision to move back to Teulon, where she felt most at home.
Mom grew up in the kitchen, learning to cook from her mom. She always made sure that there was plenty of food for guests, and every family get-together became a feast. To her, recipes were simply suggestions to which she would add her own touch. Being an amazing cook, Mom spent many of her working years in kitchens and restaurants around Teulon. She was happiest when she was preparing for family gatherings and enjoying a meal together. Everything she made tasted incredible, and her holopchi and pyrohy were sought-after throughout the Interlake.
She was a kind soul and was always quick to laugh. She loved connecting with people, visiting, and just having fun. Mom could find something in common with anyone she talked to, and often made friends in the most unlikely places. She grew up in a musical home, and her favourite band was the Ambrose Brothers Orchestra, made up of her four brothers. She enjoyed dancing to good music and was often the first one up on the dance floor.
Mom’s Celebration of Life will be held at the Teulon Hall on Friday, February 6, 2026 at 2:00 p.m.
The family would like to thank Dr. Joseph, Dr. Graham, and the nurses, HCA’s and staff at the Stonewall & District Health Centre for the care and compassion they showed our mom during this time. In lieu of flowers, please consider donating to CancerCare or a charity of your choice in Mom’s honor.
