We are sad to announce the passing of John Abbott after a lengthy battle with cancer and dementia. His wife Marianne passed away just three weeks prior. They were to celebrate their 49th wedding anniversary this summer.

John was employed by Winnipeg Hydro and Manitoba Hydro for 35 years as an accountant. Upon retirement he and Marianne made their annual trek in their motor home to Thief River Falls, Minnesota, and spent the summer months in their happy place.

Cremation has taken place and a Memorial for Marianne and John will be held at a time to be determined in June. In the meantime, John’s family kindly requests that friends and relatives take a few minutes to honour his memory by visiting his tribute page at EthicalDeathCare.com Memories and stories published by those who knew him are available there.
