Obituary of SANDRA-GEORGIEANNE STEVENSON

September 30, 1948 - October 27, 2024

Sandra-Georgieanne Stevenson was born on September 30, 1948, in Winnipeg, Manitoba. She grew up in the RM of West St. Paul and attended school just a few miles from where she would later settle in Rivercrest, Manitoba. On October 3, 1964, she married John (Jack) Stevenson. Together, they built a family and a life full of memories on an acreage in Stony Mountain, Manitoba, before moving to Rivercrest in 2000.

Sandra dedicated her life to caring for others, working as a healthcare aide at Middlechurch Nursing Home for 26 years before retiring at age 55. Outside of work, her love for gardening shone through in her beautiful flower and vegetable gardens, which she diligently tended to, even after long days of work.

In 2009, Sandra was diagnosed with lung cancer that had metastasized to her lymph nodes. Her remarkable recovery, thanks to aggressive treatments, left doctors astonished as she became cancer-free. Sadly, in 2024, Sandra faced a new challenge with esophageal cancer.

Sandra was predeceased by her daughter Lorelei MacDonald, husband John (Jack) Stevenson, father Alfred Downing, mother Agnes Downing (Kemp), sister Linda, and brother Rodney. She leaves behind her son Jack; grandchildren Nicole (Mike) – Riley, Colby; Kayla – Leah, Reuben, Finley; Brittany (Chris) – Blair, Brynne; Jacob (Hayley) – Bryson; Tessa (Liam); Summer; and Stormy. She is also survived by her son-in-law Jack MacDonald, sisters Beverly and Diane (Dave), as well as many nieces and nephews.

Sandra’s strength, love, and nurturing spirit will be missed by all who knew her.

A Celebration of Life will take place Wednesday, October 30, 2024 at 2:00 p.m. at Cropo Funeral Chapel, 1442 Main Street.
