LEARMAN, Emily


It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved mother Emily Marie Learman. Born September 11th, 1934 in the rural town of Erickson, Manitoba. Passed away peacefully June 23rd, 2015 at the Irene Thomas Hospice in Ladner, BC. Emily was a beautiful daughter to parents Ida & Arvid Ullberg, a loving wife to Sydney, who passed away Dec 25th, 2013, and a loving mother to sons Robert, wife Kimberley, and Ross, wife Joan. She was the beloved grandmother to Ross' daughter Caitlyn and to Joan's boys Tyler & Dylan Houlihan. Emily was an adventurous young lady and moved to Kitimat at a young age where she met & wed Sydney Nov 6th, 1959. They moved to Sorel Quebec where Robert was born, then onto Montreal where Ross was born. In 1972 Emily and family made the big move to the west coast of BC and a beautiful town of Tsawwassen where they lived happily until early 2013 when they moved to White Rock. Over the years Emily had many hobbies and interest from needle point art, painting, golfing, lawn bowling, exercise, gardening, and of course cards, especially Bridge! She formed many lasting friendships from her hobbies and interests in both Tsawwassen & White Rock. She wanted to make a special thanks to all of her family, friends, and the bridge groups for their love and support, for the beautiful flowers, cards, phone calls, and kind wishes. Also to my supportive family who have been my heart and soul, Love you guys forever. Emily would also like to thank her wonderful caregivers from in home care and at the beautiful hospice in Ladner. She will be dearly missed by all. In lieu of flowers donations can be made to Irene Thomas Hospice or Canadian Cancer Society in her name.
