Fern Stewart (nee Bray)
6 August 2022
Peacefully with her daughter by her side, Fern completed one journey and began another.
Predeceased by parents Rueben and Florence, brother Ross, first husband Doug and her beloved Granny Kinsley.
Left to remember are her husband of 52 years Duane Stewart; children Holly (Don, Cheri, Corinna, Austin, Emma-Lee) Morrison, Robin (Judy, Alycia, Daniel) Baldwin, Erin (Brad, Chaya, Sara) Tabac; in-laws Wendy (Don), Lynne (Gary); sister Doreen and numerous nieces and nephews.
Raised on the farm, Fern attended school in Neepawa. She received her post-secondary education in Winnipeg. As a young woman she also lived in Calgary, Vancouver and Saskatoon. She returned to Neepawa in 1962. Remarrying she moved to beautiful Kelwood in 1970.
On top of milking cows early mornings and well into the evening, Fern worked at the Neepawa Agricultural Office, Neepawa Press and Taylor Law Office.
An energetic, creative woman she displayed her talents designing and sewing costumes, ceramics, quilting and most famously cooking. Her home was filled with her beautiful creations. She brought her energy, creativity and organizational skills to many community committees such as the Kelwood Ag Society, the Skating Rink, Manitoba Driving Society et al.
Fern loved animals: kittens, pail bunting calves, dogs and especially horses. She was an enthusiastic cheerleader for Duane and Erin at horse shows across Canada.
In her last few years, perhaps relieved of life’s pressures or perhaps Alzheimer’s, Fern revealed a side of her that was always there but too rarely had the opportunity to surface. She was easy-going, witty and charming, a favourite of all her care-givers.
A Celebration of Fern’s Life will be held at Kelwood Anglican Church 11:00 September 1, 2022. Lunch to follow at Kelwood Community Centre.
Donations can be made to the Alzheimer’s Society of Manitoba.
