It is with great sadness we announce the passing of Glendoris Medicine on Friday, August 9, 2024. Glendoris was born on November 15, 1967, in Fort Frances, Ontario. Glendoris belonged to the “Makwa” (Bear) clan and her Anishinaabe name is “Memegwesiwahbek.” She was a long-time resident of Thunder Bay but is originally from Manitou Rapids (Rainy River First Nations) in Treaty 3 territory. She took pride in her culture dancing jingle dress style for many years. She enjoyed traveling with her family, doing beadwork, sewing and doing other crafts. She had a kind and generous heart, helping anyone when she could.

She is survived by her son Steven; daughters Heather and Robyn; grandchildren Serenity, Serianne, Stephanie, Steven Jr., Shannon, Evan, Kyrah, William Jr., Trystyan; and numerous other family members.
The spirit world gained the kindest, most generous soul and we have lost a wonderful, caring, daughter, sister, mother, grandmother, and overall best friend.
