It is with great sadness that we say goodbye to our dear mother and grandma Marge who passed away peacefully after a short stay in the hospital on September 22, 2025 at the age of 84.

She will be forever remembered by her children Denise Belsham, Derek (Patty) Belsham, and Tamara (David) Lisowski, and her cherished grandchildren Rachel and Matt (Ashley) Belsham, and Carlos and Diego Yusta Belsham.

She is survived by sisters-in-law Verna Kozie, Phyllis Lavergne, Liz Belsham, Carol Belsham, Doris Belsham, and brother-in-law Jim (Tina) Belsham, as well as many beloved nieces and nephews.

She was predeceased by her husband Charles, her parents Steve and Antonia Kozie, brother Clarence Kozie, sister Jean Ryback, infant brother Mernie and brothers-in-law Roger Lavergne, Mike Ryback, George Belsham, Bill Belsham, and David Belsham.

The family would like to thank the kind and dedicated staff at St Boniface Hospital and her daily care workers in Transcona for their diligent support.
