Gail passed away peacefully at Middlechurch Home of Winnipeg at the age of 87.

Gail was predeceased by her beloved husband, Jack Kelly, with whom she shared 57 wonderful years of marriage; her parents, Thomas and Marjorie Pyper; her brother, David Pyper (Bev); and her siblings-in-law, Jean (Ivor), Barney (Helen), and Jim (Betty), as well as her parents-in-law, Mike and Betty Kelly. She is survived by her brother, Bob Pyper (Elaine), and many nieces and nephews.

Gail lived a full life, and those who knew her will remember her as kind, with a warm smile and a ready sense of humour. She had an extraordinary memory for the important details of life, never forgetting a birthday, anniversary, or milestone of those she loved. Passionate about sports, she was an avid and accomplished curler in her younger years. Gail enjoyed a long and successful career at CIBC, taking pride in her work and in helping people with their finances.

Gail was also an active member of her community, participating at the Selkirk Legion and other local organizations, always willing to lend a hand and support those around her.

A natural host, Gail loved entertaining and opening her home to friends and family. She and her beloved husband Jack shared many joyful evenings hosting card games and gatherings. Meticulous in all she did, she maintained a beautiful home and garden that reflected her care and attention. Together, Gail and Jack spent many happy summers RVing across North America as members of the Good Sam Club, creating lasting memories and friendships along the way.

Gail was laid to rest alongside her late husband Jack in a private family service. Gail will be fondly remembered for the joy and warmth she brought to those around her.

Jack passed away peacefully at Selkirk Regional Health Centre at the age of 86.

Jack was predeceased by his parents Mike and Betty Kelly; siblings Jean (Ivor), Barney (Helen), and Jim (Betty); mother-in-law Marjorie Pyper, father-in-law Thomas Pyper, and brother-in-law David Pyper (Bev).

Jack is survived by his loving wife of 57 years, Gail Kelly (nee Pyper), brother-in-law Bob Pyper (Elaine), and many nieces and nephews.

In his early years Jack was employed by Building Products and Westroc Industries and enjoyed playing softball and curling in his spare time. Jack was an incredibly skilled woodworker and spent many hours in his workshop making beautiful intarsia pieces. Jack was an avid sports fan and enjoyed watching hockey, football, baseball, and curling. Jack and his wife Gail spent many years RVing all throughout the U.S. and Canada and were members of the Good Sam Club. They were also active in the community and enjoyed spending time at the Selkirk Legion. Those who knew Jack well knew that he had a good sense of humour and always had a clever comeback.

A private service is to take place at a later date. 

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Jack’s memory to The Salvation Army.
