With heartbreaking sadness, the family of Sylvia Mutcheson announce her peaceful passing on the evening of November 15, 2024.
Sylvia was an adored mother, grandmother and great-grandmother. She was predeceased by her son, Michael, her husband Jim and most recently her son, Joey. She is survived by her children, Heather (Richard Condo), Maureen (widow of Michael), Raymond (Candace), Laura (Ray Rawlings), Jim (Loretta), Jack (Janice), Jill (widow of Joey) and Matt (Crystal). She was deeply devoted to all her children, grandchildren and great grandchildren; her love for her family was immeasurable. Family visits warmed her heart and lifted her spirits always but particularly during the most recent years.
Sylvia was born on December 21, 1928 to Harold and Vera Hartnell in Kipling, Saskatchewan. She was the third of twelve children. They were a close and loving family throughout life. She dearly loved her ‘kinfolk’ as she called them. She looked forward to her yearly trips out to gatherings of these much loved people where visits were cherished by all. Lots of laughter, stories, reminiscing and sharing updates on their ever expanding families.
Sylvia met and fell in love with Jim Mutcheson in Portage la Prairie where she was working. They married in January 1949 and moved to Morden, Manitoba. Except for an eight-year stay in Steinbach for Jim’s work, they lived their lives in the community of Morden, which they loved. Sylvia was an exceptional mother whose devotion to her family was unending and exceptional. She worked day and night ensuring her family was well cared for and their home a nurturing place for them. She was a master of many skills - cooking, baking, gardening, sewing and any other skill required to equip her family to be successful. She worked tirelessly to ensure that her family felt safe, loved and important. She was the family’s foundation and the wind beneath all of our wings. We all adored her.
Sylvia was also a dedicated member of her church community and the Legion Ladies Auxiliary. She enjoyed and excelled in bowling; her competitive spirit was infectious. Her greatest joy however, was supporting her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren at their sporting events. Whether on the baseball field, hockey rink or the Ultimate frisbee field, she was there with her characteristic enthusiasm, cheering for us. She showed up for all the important events of our lives.
We are forever grateful for the professional, caring and competent care of Tabor Home during these last two years. Their kindness and support for Sylvia and her family has been wonderful.
Rest in peace our beloved mother.
