Peter Warrington Lemon

Following a sudden and brief decline in health, it is with deep sadness that we announce the peaceful passing of Peter Warrington Lemon with his family by his side on December 13, 2025 at the age of 76.

He is survived by his wife and best friend of 50 years, Linda Nugent, children Laura Wetton (Steve) and Scott Lemon (Naomi), granddaughters Kiera and Alina Wetton, siblings Nancy Crozier (Ken) and Ted Lemon, among many loved in-laws, cousins, nieces, nephews, and great-nieces and nephews. Peter was predeceased by his brother David, father Edward Lemon, and mother Jocelyn Lemon.

Growing up, Peter was always very active in sports, especially badminton and school volleyball and basketball. He was also active in Cubs and Scouts and became an Eagle Scout. He enjoyed his summers at the lake, especially sailing his sailboat. He developed a passion for golf at a young age and into retirement continued with his weekly Thursday night golf group at St. Charles Country Club.

Professionally, Peter was an anesthesiologist and spent most of his career working at the Grace Hospital with Linda. The nurses who worked with him would remember him as the one who often brought in treats to the O.R. and always used kindness (and a ton of humour) with his patients to keep them comfortable.

His wife Linda and his family meant everything to Peter. Whether it was Friday night dinners or a round of golf with Scott, family vacations to his favourite warm destination of Hilton Head Island in South Carolina, or attending school functions or dance concerts for his granddaughters – Peter always looked forward to the next event. Christmas and Easter brunches with the extended Lemon and Crozier families at St. Charles were always a highlight each year for him.

We would like to extend our sincere thanks to the doctors, nurses and staff at the Intensive Care Cardiac Sciences at St. Boniface Hospital as well as his family doctor and friend Dr. Al Schroeder for helping us through this very difficult time.

In lieu of flowers, donations can be made in Peter’s name to St. Luke’s Anglican Church or the United Way of Winnipeg.

A private family interment has taken place. A memorial service to celebrate the life of Peter will be held at St. Luke’s Anglican Church in the spring.
