A life well lived is a precious gift, of hope and strength and grace, from someone who has made our world a brighter, better place.

It’s filled with moments, sweet and sad with smiles and sometimes tears, with friendships formed and good times shared, and laughter through the years.

A life well lived is a legacy, of joy and pride and pleasure, a living, lasting memory, our grateful hearts will treasure.

Jim is survived by his wife of over 60 years, Nadia, and his children Susan, Patsy (Jim), Barry (Lisa), and Peter (Cheryl) as well as his many grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

Jim was born and spent most of his life in sunny St. James, Winnipeg, Manitoba. His retirement years were enjoyed on “The Farm” in Balmoral, Manitoba.

He had many passions which included guitar (No. 1 Hank Snow fan), woodworking, and cracking good/bad jokes and puns. He loved the farm chores and adventures … there were many.

Jim adored his wife, Nadia. His every action was rooted in deep devotion for his loved ones. He was a quiet, kindhearted man. He didn’t say much but was a great listener.

In the words of Jim … husband, father, grandfather and friend, “It’s never goodbye, it’s so long.”

I love you, Man

Jim will be laid to rest beside his twin brother in the Veterans Memorial Gardens at Brookside Cemetery at a private internment.

In loving memory of Rebecca Gladys Lane ( Nee Meaden) of Winnipeg Manitoba, who passed away September 23/2025 at the age of 82. She was surrounded by her loving family.

Rebecca was predeceased by her loving husband, Len, of 52 years, her brother Bob and Nephew John.

Rebecca leaves a family who adored her; her sons Edward(Kathy) Jim(Kim) her grandchildren Mathew(Samantha) Justin(Marissa) Michael, Tyler(Kyra) Brayden(Toni) great grandchildren Hannah and Payton, her brother Dennis(Sharon) Gloria(Alan) Brian and many nieces and nephews.

Mom spent most of her life in the St.James area. Becky was an excellent baker, she was known for her butter tarts along with all of her baking. She loved spending time with grandchildren and great grandchildren and her loving furry friends, Diamond, Rocky, Hobbs and Maverick.  She never left home without doggie treats just in case she came across one. Becky was very caring and generous person, she always put everyone else before her.

The family would like to thank the staff Oakview Extended Care 3rd floor for the compassionate care for Becky.

As per mom’s wishes a private family gathering will be held at a later date.

If you’d like to make a donation under mom’s name you can make it to the Alzheimers Society or the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Manitoba.
