Gail Ellen Edginton
It is with great sadness, we announce the passing of Gail Ellen Edginton (nee Snowdon), our mother and Nana, on Wednesday, March 16, 2022, after a lengthy illness.
Gail was born on January 15, 1942, to George and Iris Snowdon and raised in East Kildonan.
She is predeceased by her loving husband Ralph, her mother Iris, her father George and special Aunt Eileen.
Gail and Ralph raised three boys who are forever grateful for the close-knit family ties they instilled in them and will cherish many fond memories, Paul (Dianne), Glen (Kim), and Jason (Danielle). Her pride and joy were her grandchildren, Shane, Carley, Jaden, Abby, Elise and Connor and her great grandson Chase. She will be sadly missed by her sister Leslie (Randi and Derek) and brother Jeff (Tracy, Amanda and Nick) and her lifelong friends the “Golden Girls” Sheena, Adrienne and Lolli.
Family and friends meant everything to Gail, she spent many hours talking on the phone each day to all of them. If you hadn’t heard from Gail once a day, something was wrong. She had a heart of gold and gave her family the most important gift of all, her time. She quickly became a friend to everyone that met her and cherished everyone that came into her life.
Her favorite pastime was cheering on her grandkids while watching racing, hockey, ringette or volleyball. Gail had a special eye for decorating and could style a room on a budget. She loved to travel with Ralph in their R.V. and enjoyed many holidays with her family. Her love for dogs was infectious and she enjoyed years of companionship with her “fur” babies. She loved to cook and craft but a good visit from anyone was the highlight of her day.
As per Gail’s request a private celebration of life will be held. In lieu of flowers, please consider donating to the Winnipeg Humane Society. The family would like to thank the homecare staff that helped Gail over the past several months.
We will love you forever and miss hearing those special words – “Hi, its Nana, give me a call!”
Our most sincere sympathies to the family and friends of Gail Ellen Edginton January 15 1942 March 16 2022..
Death notice for the town of: Winnipeg, Province: Manitoba
