Erma MacKinnon

Erma passed away peacefully at the Dr. F.H. Wigmore Regional Hospital, Moose Jaw on Tuesday, July 24, 2018 with family by her side.  Cherished wife of Roddie "Rod" for over 40 years. She will be lovingly remembered by her sisters Debbie Gallein, Sheila "Paulette" Gallant, sisters-in-law Janet Blake, Joanne Prestedge, Alison Seymour and by her brother-in-law Blair MacKinnon, as well as by her nieces, nephews and friends all across Canada. Erma was born to Sylvere and Clara Gallant in Summerside, PEI on September 8, 1942. She grew up in Summerside attending school and working at the local Met Store. She met Roddie in 1977 while he was in Summerside on his Junior Leadership Training Course for the Canadian Forces. The two were wed on April 29, 1978 at St. Paul's Cathedral in Summerside. Over the years, they lived in many places across Canada, including Dartmouth, NS, Kingston, ON, Portage la Prairie, MB, Comox, BC, finally settling in Moose Jaw in 1989 followed by a couple of brief moves and returns to Moose Jaw. While in Moose Jaw, Erma worked at the local Metropolitan store on Main St. She enjoyed old movies, and her favourite soaps "Days of Our Lives" and "Coronation Street", but her main interest was getting together with her friends at the Bingo Halls where she quickly became a fixture. All are invited to attend a Celebration of Erma's Life in the lounge at Parkview Funeral Chapel, 474 Hochelaga St W, Moose Jaw, on Thursday, August 2, 2018 at 1:00 p.m.   In lieu of flowers, memorial donations to the Kidney Foundation or to the Diabetes Association would be appreciated.
