GLADYS MARGARET SEARLE

It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved mother, Gladys Margaret (Marge) Searle, on Thursday, Jan. 22, 2004 at the age of 80. She left us very suddenly and quietly.
She was born Aug. 7, 1923.
Marge is survived by her daughters, Margaret (Stanley) Blasky and Patricia (George) Wicek; brothers, Ron (Lillian) Ayris and Alan (Larraine) Ayris; and sister, Violet Fry.
She also leaves to mourn her grandchildren, Lori (Brent) Farrow, Chris (Rebecca) Blasky, Tammy (Colin) Colliou, Tracy (Gary) Jensen, Sherry (Kevin) Randall, David Searle, and Stephan (Stacey) Wicek; and great-grandchildren, James Farrow, Jerald Eyford, Nicholas Eyford, and Tyler Randall.
She was predeceased by her loving husband of 59 years, Bert, on Oct. 3, 2003; son, Colin in August, 1991; and parents, Charles and Elisabeth Ayris.
The family wishes to extend their thanks to the compassionate staff at Riverside Health Care Hospital in Fort Frances.
Cremation has taken place. A memorial service will be held at a later date.
In lieu of flowers, in memoriam donations can be made to the Canadian Cancer Society or the foundation of your choice.
Mum, thanks for the wonderful years you gave us. We have such lovely memories to think about. We are glad you are at peace now in Heaven with Dad and Colin. We know you have no more pain and sorrow.
Although it broke our hearts to see you go so soon, we know that you and Dad are both together again in each other’s arms and walking alongside Colin. We know that some day we will all be reunited and so we won’t say goodbye.
We know that the three of you are up there looking down on us and smiling, and that makes us happy. You will be in our hearts forever, until we meet again.
