Roger Tinguely Obituary
ROGER CLEMENT TINGUELY
We’re sad to announce that our father Roger passed away peacefully on December 1, 2023 at the Betel Home, Gimli, Manitoba.
In the early 1920s his father Jules Tinguely had emigrated from Switzerland, and his mother Marie Augert emigrated from France. Roger was born in Notre-Dame de Lourdes, Manitoba on December 14, 1929. He graduated from high school in 1948. After a short stint of teaching, he served in the Canadian Armed Forces from December 29, 1949 to September 17, 1980. He met the love of his life, Mabel Sigurdson, in Gimli, and married her on April 26, 1952. His career took his family to postings in Lahr Germany, Saskatoon, Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu, Winnipeg, Kingston, Ottawa, and Petawawa. Following his retirement, he and Mabel returned to Manitoba. They lived for a few years in Brandon before settling in Gimli.
Roger had a longstanding love of nature, and in his spare time and during his retirement years, he and his wife shared an interest in the outdoors, skiing in the winter (both downhill and cross-country) and bicycling in the summer. In the 1950s they travelled together throughout Europe, and they later visited Iceland, Portugal, the United States, Cuba and Mexico. Their skiing trips took them to many slopes across Canada, in Europe and the United States. They were well-known and loved by many residents of Gimli.
Roger is survived by his brother Raymond and sister Laurette, by his wife Mabel, his three children Antoinette, Gregory and Vincent, and his grandchildren Sarah and Eric.
The family would like to thank the staff at Betel Home for their tireless and compassionate care.
A memorial will be arranged at a later date.
