HOWSE: Viola Freda Marcia, age 88 years, of Brandon, Manitoba, passed away on July 20, 2021 at Hillcrest Personal Care Home. Marcia was born on October 15, 1932 to Viola Sylvia (Campbell) and Clifford Tyerman and attended Deer Range School in Edrans, Manitoba. Marcia worked hard as a cook and a mom raising her family. She enjoyed planting and gardening, and then sharing her bountiful harvest through cooking festive meals for family and friends. Her pastry was amazing and her oatmeal cookies famous among those who knew and loved her. Marcia also volunteered many hours with the Salvation Army. Marcia is survived by her daughter Deborah Howse of Edmonton and son Grant Howse (Tracey) of Brandon; Marcia was the proud Gramma to four grandchildren and three great grandchildren; and is also survived by her sister, Sandra (Ralph) Andrews of Creston, BC. She was predeceased by her loving partner of many years, Mac Gillespie of Brandon, who shared in her cooking and baking skills the most; her daughters Brenda (Ken) Smith and Linda (Richard) Verbicky, all of Tolfield, AB; and her grandson Wesley Howse of Edmonton. A private graveside service will be held at Rosewood Memorial Gardens. Donations in memory of Marcia may be made to Westman Dreams for Kids, 404-18th Street North, Brandon, MB R7A 7P3.

In life we loved you dearly
In death we do the same.
It broke our hearts to lose you,
You did not go alone,
For part of us went with you
The day God called you home.
You left us beautiful memories
Your love is still our guide,
And although we
cannot see you,
You are always at our side.
Our family chain is broken
And nothing sees the same
But as God calls us one by one
The chain will link again.
