CHARLES (CHARLIE) CHRISTOPHER BELSHAM

It is with great sadness that we say goodbye to our dear husband, father and grandpa, Charles, who passed away suddenly, but peacefully, on March 3, 2022.
Forever remembered by his beloved wife of 59 years, Marie (Marjorie, Marge); his children, Denise Belsham, Derek (Patty) Belsham and Tamara (David) Lisowski and his cherished grandchildren, Rachel and Matt Belsham and Carlos and Diego Yusta Belsham. He is survived by his brothers, George (Liz) Belsham, Bill (Carol) Belsham; sister Phyllis Lavergne; sister-in-law Doris Belsham and brother Jim (Tina) Belsham; as well as his sisters-in-law, Jean Ryback and Verna Kozie; as well as many nieces and nephews.
He was predeceased by his parents, Chris and Dora Belsham; his brother David Belsham and brothers-in-law, Roger Lavergne, Mike Ryback and Clarence Kozie.
Charles was born in Winnipeg on August 24, 1941. He was raised on the Belsham family farm south of Anola. He married his Marjorie on June 2, 1962 and resided in Transcona his entire life. They were active members of St. Michael's Ukrainian Catholic Church in Transcona.
Charles was a man of few words, but was always kind, patient and helpful. He enjoyed gardening, travelling, hunting and fishing and especially cherished times with his grandchildren in Toronto and St. Albert.
The family would like to thank the kind and dedicated staff at the Park Manor Personal Care Home in Transcona for their diligent care after Charles had his debilitating stroke in 2013.
In lieu of flowers, donations can be made in Charles' name to the Heart and Stroke Foundation (heartandstroke.ca) or to the Immaculate Conception Ukrainian Catholic Church of Cook's Creek Grotto Restoration Fund (immaculate.ca).
