MARILYN JOYCE MELNYK
Our family is deeply saddened to announce the unexpected, but peaceful passing of Marilyn Melnyk on Tuesday, June 9, 2026, at the age of 91 years.
Marilyn was predeceased by her parents Herb and Nina Wilkinson, brother Brian Wilkinson, husband Walter Melnyk, son Jeff Melnyk and grandson Michael Willows. She will be lovingly remembered by her daughter Janice, son-in-law Brent, daughter-in-law Diana Martinson, grandson Christopher, as well as family and many dear friends.
A service will be held in her memory at John Black Memorial United Church located at 898 Henderson Hwy in Winnipeg on Wednesday, June 17 at 10:30 a.m. A private family interment will be held at Glen Lawn Memorial Gardens at a later date.
Marilyn supported dozens of charitable causes, so in lieu of flowers, donations may be made in her memory to Heart and Stroke Foundation, Operation Smile, Canadian Wildlife Fund, UNICEF, Siloam Mission, or Doctors Without Borders.
The family would like to thank all the homecare workers that visited and helped Marilyn over the past 3 years.
