Ada Marge Clarke

It is with deep sadness that the family of Ada Marge Clarke announce her peaceful passing on February 14, 2018 at the Selkirk Regional Health Centre at the age of 80 years.

She leaves to mourn her children Robert (Donna) and Robin (Ian); grandchildren Brittany (Ian) and Quinn; brothers Raymond (Sybil), Fred (Mavis), Victor (Carey); sisters Margaret (John) McMullen, Shirley Hourie, Lila (Doug) Thomas, Rita Gladu (Eugene), Marlene Hall; sister-in-law Clara Donald along with many nieces, nephews and friends who will miss her dearly.

She was predeceased by her husband Bert in 1972; infant daughter Cindy in 1960; parents James and Maryanne Peebles; in-laws James and Cynthia Clarke; brothers Jim, Kenny, Andy; sister Dorothy Clark; brothers-in-law Hugh, Jimmy and Hector Clarke, Kenny Clarke, Wallace Hourie, Ralph Donald, Lloyd Doughie and sister-in-law Dorothy Doughie.

Mom’s pastimes were playing cards, word puzzles, bingo, drives to the casino, lunch at the Riverboat and she enjoyed her daily calls from family and friends. Her greatest pleasure was when her trailer was full of family and looked forward to her visits from her siblings from British Columbia and Nova Scotia.

Mom enjoyed the simple pleasures in life like looking out her window at the yard, trees and animals.

We love you, will miss you and will think of you every day.
