Obituary of Maria Del Carmen Haslam

We are sad to announce beloved wife and mother Maria Del Carmen passed away suddenly on Friday, August 13, 2021, at her home in Blumenort.

She leaves to mourn her husband James Haslam, son Ken and wife Jenn, and their children: Chantelle (Christian, Dimitri), Devin; son Rob and wife Janet, and their children: Therone and Morgan;  daughter Karen and partner Dick, her children: Cody and Betty; and daughter Cheryl and husband Darcy, and their children: Nick, Alex, Keisha and Kieran. She also leaves to mourn her four siblings: Nick Delagua and wife Gloria and their children, Andy Delagua and wife Marylou and their children, Soraya Delagua and Clive Delagua.

Our mom was born on July 16, 1953, to Nicholas and Carmen Delagua in Gibraltar, UK. She grew up in Gibraltar and married James on July 8, 1972, in the Church of the Sacred Heart and celebrated 49 years of marriage this year. They had two sons and a daughter before they immigrated to Canada in October of 1977. James and Maria moved to Winnipeg to join her brother in Canada and had another daughter to complete their family.

Mom was so proud of her children and grandchildren, always having photos of them so she could tell everyone she meets about them. She was an outgoing and friendly person that had a great sense of humor, was honest, you could always count on her to speak her mind. Maria loved good recipes, Spanish music, and her family. She faced many health issues and as a two-time cancer survivor she showed her strength and resilience.

She will be deeply missed by her family and friends.

A private family service has been planned.
