Marcy Josephine Gerwing
November 27, 1933 – March 18, 2018

Marcy (nee Zintel) Gerwing of Pineview Terrace, Prince Albert, SK (and formerly of Lake Lenore) passed away peacefully in her sleep at her residence on Sunday, March 18, 2018.  She was 84 years of age.   Marcy was born November 27, 1933, to Leo and Mary (nee Neumann) Zintel at St. Elizabeth’s Hospital, Humboldt, SK. She was raised on a farm near Marysburg, SK, where she told great tales of going to St. Henry School, a one-room schoolhouse.  As a teenager, she loved playing ball and was the team's catcher, playing without a mitt, and had many crooked fingers to show for it. Following her schooling, Marcy worked for a local family. In 1953, she married Emil Gerwing and moved to Lake Lenore.  They started their life together living in a converted store, but later moved to the farm where they spent many years before moving back into town in 1985.  In 2010, Marcy and Emil relocated to Prince Albert, where they continued to reside.  Regardless of where she lived, Marcy’s gardens were always filled with vegetables and beautiful flowers. Marcy could sing all day and was a member of the church Christmas Choir and St. Peter's Choir.   Quilting was also a favorite pastime, and she provided every member of her family with at least one homemade quilt. Marcy was always game for the antics and skits in which she was involved with her curling, birthday club, and CWL buddies.  She was well-known for her active participation within the community with various clubs and projects. In addition, Marcy enjoyed travelling and visited many places in the USA and Europe.  Her greatest passion was spending time with her family.  She will be missed by her husband, Emil Gerwing of Prince Albert, SK; four children and seven grandchildren:   Ron Gerwing of Wellington, ON; Michelle Gerwing of Okotoks, AB (Eric, Marc, and Daniel); Gerry and Pat (nee Opfergelt) Gerwing of Lake Lenore, SK (Calvin and Mitchel); and Nicole (Terry Lasko) Barbondy of Prince Albert, SK (Brianne and Paige); as well as her siblings, nieces and nephews.  Marcy was predeceased by her daughter, Ruth; mother, Mary (nee Neumann) Zintel; and father, Leo Zintel. The Funeral Mass was offered at St. Anthony’s R.C. Church, Lake Lenore, on Saturday, March 24, 2018, at 2:00 p.m., celebrated by Fr. Anthony Atter.  Interment will take place at a later date.  Memorial donations may be directed to St. Anthony's Parish or Cemetery Fund.
