Obituary
Marion Merle (McFaddin) Trewin passed away peacefully in her sleep at the Silver Willow Lodge in Nanton on March 31, at the age of 86. Merle was born at home on a farm near Cardale, Manitoba in 1934. She grew up in a family with 6 sisters, 3 brothers, and 7 half siblings. She married Jack Trewin in the spring of 1952 and they came west to beautiful Alberta to farm and raise their family. They worked at various farms in the Vulcan and High River areas and then settled in at the farm of Jim and Helen Stewart on Gladys Ridge in 1956. Merle helped with everything on the farm – milking cows, feeding pigs, raising chickens, turkeys, ducks and geese as well as working in the field driving tractor and hauling grain. She was a master gardener and with two greenhouses she grew thousands of flowers every year and had a stunning yard. A huge garden and an orchard of fruit trees were also part of her busy life. She was an excellent cook and baker and loved feeding people. Freezers full of every kind of meat and all the wonderful preserves and baking imaginable were standard fare at the Trewin house. In later life, when they were retired in High River, Jack was kept busy delivering casseroles and pies to everyone in the neighborhood. Merle was predeceased by Jack in 2015 and by son Gary in 1972. She is survived by 5 children – Greg (Linda) of Edmonton, Debbie Ostercamp (Cam) of Blackie, Grant in Toronto, Garth in High River, and Miles (Dee) in Didsbury, as well as 8 grandchildren and 12 great grandchildren. A family service will be held at a later date. If desired, memorial donations may be in Merle’s memory to the Royal Canadian Branch 71.
