FRASER: Peacefully with family by her side, Iowna Meryl Fraser passed away at her Fairview home on July 5, 2018. Iowna was born October 9, 1918 and lived most of her life on the land homesteaded by her grandfather in the RM of Elton. The farm home that she loved so dearly was located between Chater, Douglas, Justice, Forrest and Brandon and she proudly called all of these districts “home” for over 99 years. A dedicated daughter, teacher, wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, and friend, Iowna devoted countless hours to helping others and she was a leader in all that she did. Iowna was predeceased by her parents: John and Winnifred Campbell, her husband of 50 years, Campbell Fraser, and her son-in-law Rick Barry. Left to cherish her memory are her family who were the focus of her life: Marilyn Barry of Calgary, Judy (Doug) Marvin of RR 5, Brandon, Meryl Fraser of Brandon; her beloved grand-children: Derek (Brittany Hilton) Marvin of Winnipeg, Kristy (Mark) Agnew of Forrest and Jeremy Marvin (who resides in the Campbell-Fraser farm home) and great grandchildren: Beau Hilton Marvin, Mila Agnew, and Elliott ‘Ellie’ Agnew. Complete obituary information will follow on Memories Chapel website. A Service to Celebrate Iowna’s Life will be held at Memories Chapel, 330-18th Street North on Wednesday, July 11, 2018 at 2:00 p.m. A reception will follow. Iowna will be laid to rest in a private family service at the Sparling Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, donations could be made to Family Visions Inc., Unit A-116 Industrial Drive, Brandon, MB R7A 7S5, an organization dear to Iowna’s heart because of its role in supporting people with intellectual disabilities. Alternately, donations could be made to Fairview Home Foundation, 2nd Floor Resident Support, 1351-13th Street, Brandon, Manitoba, R7A 4S6 or to a charity of choice.
