Mary Helen Starr
April 4, 1926 - February 18, 2018

Dreams do come true, Mom wished for the day that Dad would come for her. Your prayers were answered, Dad came and took you home with him.

It is with heavy hearts and loving memories that the family of Mary Helen Starr (nee Stadnyk) announces the peaceful passing of our Mother, and Grandmother, Great Grandmother at Red River Place Care Home on Sunday, February 18, 2018.

Mary was predeceased by her husband of 60 years, Stanley Starr, and numerous family members and friends. Mary leaves to fondly remember her daughters Cindy (Jack), Rosemary (Alfred), sons Jeff (Sylvia) and Don (Denise) as well as many grandchildren, great grandchildren, nieces, nephews and other family members.

Mary’s greatest love was her family, friends and neighbours. Mom had a very special spot in her heart for her great grandson Hunter - when he came along we all took a back seat! Mom loved having company, the more the merrier. Mom and Dad owned and operated Starr’s Texaco Cafe & Gas in St. Martin, and Grassmere Esso Cafe & Gas outside of Winnipeg. For many years and still today, mom was known for her great soups and homemade meals. Mom loved knitting, cards, baseball, game shows, Polkarama & old time country music and flowers.

A special thanks to follow in the Selkirk Record. In keeping with Mom’s wishes, cremation will take place. Mom and Dad will be placed together forever and a private interment will take place in the summer.

In lieu of flowers please make a donation to the Children’s Make-A-Wish Foundation or the Children’s Burn Foundation.
