After a life well lived, Jane (Doris) Quark (nee Swarbrick), peacefully departed this world on March 12, 2025. Jane, a beautiful lady, who filled her life with love, travel and sharing Jesus, has left us for her next adventure.
Jane was born in Moose Jaw, SK on December 13, 1949, to Harry and Doris Swarbrick, their youngest of seven. After graduating cosmetology school she married her sweetheart, Dave Quark on November 11, 1967. Together they moved to Winnipeg, raised their three children and worked side by side in their shoe stores. Jane was a dedicated cheerleader, witnessing as much as possible all the endeavours of her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. She learned Spanish at 40, passing four levels of university courses to better communicate on her dozens of mission trips. Jane travelled to 117 countries and literally gave away the shoes off her feet more than once.
Jane will be dearly missed by her husband Dave, children, Doug (Meredith), Deana (Jean), Tom (Marcie), grandchildren, Nina (Tanner), Nelson (Ashton), Joshua, Brooklynn, Austin, Elias and Levi, great-grandchildren, Finley and Hazel, and surviving siblings, Fran, George (Joanne), Linda (Renus) as well as many nieces and nephews. Jane was predeceased by her parents, Harry and Doris, siblings, Dorothy (Harvey), Bill (Fern), Kay (Terry), and brother-in-law Dave.
The family wishes to thank the wonderful staff at the St. Boniface Hospital, as well as the compassionate nurses who tended to Jane through HomeCare and Palliative Care.
A Celebration of Life service will be held at Grant Memorial Church at 877 Wilkes Ave. on Sunday, March 23 at 3:00 p.m. Refreshments will be served immediately after the service in the Fellowship Hall.
In lieu of flowers, Jane asked for donations to Clear & Simple Media via Grant Memorial, so as to issue charitable receipts. They publish biblical materials in 42 languages to share the good news of Jesus Christ.
Our hearts are broken as we say goodbye for now, but we know she is with Jesus. She always loved meeting new people and going to new places. Heaven will be perfect for her.
