June 11, 1935 - December 31, 2024
In loving memory ~
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Larine Margaret McQuiston at the Foothills Hospital in Calgary, Alberta on Tuesday, December 31, 2024, at the age of 89 years.
Larine was born on June 11, 1935, in Gladstone, Manitoba. This lovely lady made every moment so special as she loved to share her knowledge and life experiences with those she met. She lived in Killarney, Manitoba with her husband, Dave McQuiston where he passed. Her pride and joy were her hairdressing business and clients.
Larine moved to Red Deer, Alberta where she met Morris Kozun at a local dance hall. This friendship was a lasting one. She moved to the farm where she pursued her passion for horses, ceramics, painting and gardening for thirty plus years. Larine moved to Calgary, Alberta due to her failing health and resided there until her passing. This amazing and loving mother is lovingly remembered by daughter, Sheila (Blair) Kneeshaw, her son, Wayne (Sharon) McQuiston, her grandson, Braydon Kneeshaw and brother, Mel (Doreen) Kennedy. She was predeceased by her parents, Olga and Leonard Kennedy, her brother, Harvey Kennedy and her partner, Morris Kozun.
The family would like to extend their greatest thanks to the doctors and nurses at Foothills Hospital, Unit 32 for their empathy, care and support in her final days.
In lieu of flowers donations can be made to the Heart and Stroke Foundation. A Celebration of Life will be held in the Summer.
