Murry Albert Jarvis

Murry Albert Jarvis passed away unexpectedly with heart complications on February 23, 2024 at the St. Boniface Hospital.

Murry was born on March 16, 1950, in Carberry, MB, the oldest of six. The beginning of his childhood was spent on the farm and he attended Sidney and Langley Schools, before the family moved to Carberry in 1958 where he attended RJ Waugh and Carberry Collegiate. His first jobs were working on farms, at Carnation Foods, and as a mechanic. In 1970, he married Eleanor Wright of Wellwood and in 1973, they purchased a farm just east of Arden. Over the years, they had mixed farming and dairy. In 2004, they bought a house in Neepawa and were completely retired by 2016. Health issues kept Murry close to home but he was always interested in talking about farming and news with any friends and relatives that stopped by for coffee or a meal.

Murry was predeceased by his parents, Allan and Marion Jarvis, and by his parents-in-law, Art and Lilla Wright. He leaves behind his wife Eleanor and children, Dwayne, Koraleen, Devin (Sandi), and Tanya (Doug) McLeod and grandchildren, Brynn and Sienna Jarvis and Chloe McLeod. He is also survived by his siblings Blayn (Wendy), Ronnie (Florence), Garth (Marj), Daryl (Andrea) and Roxanne (Vince) Mancini, as well as in-laws Edith (Larry) Anderson, Lester, Shirley McCaw (Gary), Glenn (Alice), David (Kathy), John (Pat) and many nieces and nephews.

If desired, donations can be made to Central Plains Cancer Services.

A private family interment in Carberry will take place at a later date, as well as an afternoon of lunch and visiting for family and friends at the Neepawa Legion. This date will be posted by Clarke’s Funeral Service.
