Mr. Peter John Lockett

Our well-loved husband and brother left us suddenly, at home, on November 15, 2010.

Peter is survived by his wife Virginia, sister Frances Harris (Bob), mother-in-law Margaret Colwill, sisters-in-law Laura Kasian (Don), Kelay Ohlhauser (Larry), brother-in-law Peter Colwill (Angela), nieces Madison and Maurghen Miller and nephew Carson Colwill. Peter also leaves cousins in England and South Africa.

Peter was born in Stockport, England to Jack and Dorothy Lockett on September 15, 1945. In 1957 the family immigrated to Winnipeg, where Peter attended school at Sargent Park and Daniel McIntyre, completing his BA Hons and MA in Geography at the University of Manitoba.

Peter’s career with the provincial government extended over 20 years and at the time of his retirement he worked with Manitoba Conservation as Director of Finance.

Peter married Virginia in 1974 and together they enjoyed travel, reading,crossword puzzles and attending antique shows where they made many friends in the collecting community.

A gathering of friends will be held at Thomson in the Park on Friday, November 26th at 2:00 pm.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to CancerCare Manitoba, the Winnipeg Art Gallery Decorative Arts Collection, or the charity of your choice.
