Adelaide Law

Adelaide Joan Law (nee Cunningham)
September 10, 1948 – March 13,2026

Peacefully, with family by her side on Friday, March 13, 2026 at the Health Sciences Centre, Adelaide Law, aged 77 of Selkirk, MB, passed away.

She leaves to mourn life partner Donald, daughters Charlene (Keith), Brenda, Angela (Gord), and Wendi (Gary); son Kevin (Sam); granddaughters Kandace (Mark), Sabrina (Rishab), Aurora; grandsons Tony and Aiden; great-granddaughter Vienna-Rose; step-children Stefanie (Tom), and James (Chris); step-grandchildren Olivia, Tyler, Ryan and Caleb; sister Moira (Boogie); brothers Alex, and Bob; as well as countless extended family, and friends. She is predeceased by her parents Robert and Violet, brother Donny, and sisters Vi and Betty. Adelaide spent her childhood on the family farm in Clandeboye where she made many great memories and friendships. She later moved to Selkirk where she spent the rest of her life.

Over the years, she has made many friends through her career at the Selkirk Royal Canadian Legion Branch #42, catering funeral luncheons with Donald at Gilbart’s, at bingo nights at the Friendship Centre, and wherever she went on her journeys around town. It didn’t matter where someone came from, she always saw the best in everyone and would do anything to help out or bring a smile to their face.

Adelaide was a generous woman and enjoyed the small things in life. Being a mother and grandmother were her proudest achievements. From cooking fresh homemade meals and treats, to taking us on adventures whenever possible; she did everything she could to give the best life to her babies. In her final days, we did all we could to return the favour.

We would like to thank the team at Health Sciences Centre for all the care they put into making her last moments as comfortable as possible.

In keeping with her wishes, cremation has taken place and a gathering will be held in Adelaide’s honour at Gilbart Funeral Chapel on Saturday, May 2, 2026 at 1:00 p.m. A luncheon and time of fellowship will follow in the Gilbart Reception Centre.
