Cleo Dolores (Hildebrand) Paramor

Cleo Paramor (nee Hildebrand) passed away peacefully in her home surrounded by her loving family on March 20, 2024.

Cleo was born May 30, 1939, daughter of Helen Hildebrand and C. O. Baker.  She grew up in a large family on the farm near Douglas, Mb.  It was there that she developed her love of sport and her competitive nature.

Mom was always known for her love of baseball, having played, coached and cheered many games.  If there was a Jays game on, she was watching (!), quite often while doing one of her craft projects, painting ceramics, bead art or crochet.  When not crafting, she could be found at a games table, playing cards, bingo, trivia or board games.

She enjoyed all the visitors who came to “play” during her last months and weeks with us, especially her kids and grandkids.  Always remember, there are no friends at the card table!

Mom will be remembered for her time working at “the bar”, the store in Arden and volunteering for the many committees that needed help.

Mom is survived by her five children, Ron Brodie (Susan Sutter), Lynn Boyd (Lane, deceased), Ben Brodie, Jackie Paramor (John) and Deb Thorkelsson (Kent).  Mom has 10 grandchildren, Alexander and Marcus Brodie, Jeramy and Naomi Boyd, Ryan and Melissa Brodie, Walter, Lorne and Elizabeth Paramor, and Erik Thorkelsson.  Mom also has 12 great grandchildren and 2 great granddaughters.

Mom is also survived by her brother Ken, sisters Jenny and Shirley, many nieces and nephews and many in-laws and outlaws.  She was predeceased by her parents, husband Leonard, three brothers and one sister, and by many in-laws and outlaws.

A memorial service will be held Friday, July 5, 2024, at 2:00 pm at Lansdowne Park, Arden, MB.

All family and friends are welcome to attend.  Please bring a lawn chair (and maybe an umbrella if it looks like rain).

In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to Palliative Care in Neepawa or your area.
