Marilyn Richard, just shy of her 80th birthday on the 28th, passed away on April 11, 2024, after losing a courageous battle with diabetes and heart disease. Her final moments were spent peacefully, surrounded by her loved ones.
Marilyn was born in Camperville, Manitoba to her parents Delia Marie (Lafreniere) and Gregory Klyne. She now joins her late parents, brothers, Ernie, Louie, Stanley, George and sisters Bernice and Korean. Her surviving siblings, Valerie, Denise, Dorthy, Raymond, and Sharon, as well as many nieces and nephews, along with many friends and her Christian Life Assembly family.
Marilyn is survived by her loving children: Natalie (Edwin); of Winnipeg, Douglas (Elana), of Victoria, BC; Phyllis (Ivan) of The Pas, MB, Ernest, of Winnipeg, and Keith (Cindy), of Strathmore, AB. She is also survived by eight grandchildren, fourteen great-grandchildren and two great-great grandchildren. Marilyn was predeceased by her loving husband, Michel Clement Richard in 1995.
Known for her extraordinary baking, care for others, and dedication to her Lord and Saviour, Marilyn will be dearly missed by all who knew her. She will also be remembered for her immense thoughtfulness when it comes to sending out cards. Marilyn’s family asks that she be remembered for the joy she brought to others in life not the sadness of her passing.
The family would like to express their sincere gratitude to the dedicated staff in the ICU at the St. Boniface Hospital, and the many physicians who have cared for her over the years.
The funeral will be held on Thursday, April 18, 2024, at 10:00 a.m. at the Glen Eden Funeral Home located at 4477 Main St., Winnipeg. A viewing will take place at 9:00 a.m. prior to the service. The family will have a private burial at a later date at the Old Rugged Cross at Glen Eden Funeral Home. In lieu of sending flowers, please consider a donation in support of: Diabetes Canada, Canadian Liver Foundation or the Heart and Stroke Foundation.
To honour Marilyn’s legacy, a small excerpt from Footprints in the Sand has been provided.

I am Norma from Allure by Norma and have provided Marilyn with Cancer Care products for several years. I just saw her last month and her parting words to me were, " Okay, see you next year if I am still here. " My response to Marilyn, " was of course you'll be here" . Little did I know. She was a lovely lady and I am going to miss serving her. My condolences to all those who are affected by the loss of Marilyn. - Posted by: Norma Fraser (Provided Marilyn with Cancer Care Products) on: Apr 24, 2024

Marilyn was our next door neighbour for over 20 years, and you couldn't ask for a better neighbour and friend. She was a wonderful cook and baker, and was always willing to share. She was also not afraid to borrow an ingredient she found missing, or to give an ingredient we were missing, at the last minute. She enjoyed sitting outside in nice weather, and was always ready to talk to anyone who came by. She had a long list of illnesses, but never complained. Our sympathies go out to her family.

Marilyn Since our mother died in 1995 you have been such a life force to us all, a devoted mother, sister, grandmother and friend to so many. I know my life was and will be influenced by your generous spirit and the fond memories I will have of our time together on this earth. Someday our lives will touch once again. Thank you for sharing your good wishes with me through the years, you never did forget a birthday or holiday greeting. All my love Ray - Posted by: Ray Klyne (Brother) on: Apr 18, 2024

I worked with Marilyn during the 1980's at WECS. She was a kind, gentle, fun-loving, and hard-working person. My condolences to her family - remember her with love. Sue Ennis - Posted by: Susan Ennis (Former Co-worker) on: Apr 15, 2024

Natalie, Danielle and families, I am so sorry for the loss of your sweet Mama and Grandmother. I remember her as a very sweet woman who loved her family dearly and always had a smile on her face. I will cherish her little cookbooks as I recall the baking Nat would share from her. Big hugs to all who are missing her.
