Gwyn Agnes (Klimack) Boogaart

Gwyn Boogaart, beloved wife of Marinus (Marty) Boogaart, passed away peacefully in her sleep on Wednesday, January 24, 2024, at the age of 66 years, following a courageous battle with Alzheimer's.

Gwyn was born on July 27, 1957, in Inglis, Manitoba, to Berthold and Agnes Klimack. She was the youngest of six children and spent her formative years on the family farm in Inglis. Gwyn graduated from Major Pratt High School in 1975 and subsequently moved to Calgary, AB, where she embarked on a career as an administrative assistant to the Human Resources Director at ATCO gas.

It was through her sister and brother-in-law that Gwyn met the love of her life, Marty, whom she married on August 26, 1977. In 1981, she made the decision to leave the workforce to dedicate herself to raising a family.

In 1998, Gwyn returned to work at Lethbridge College as the Administrative Assistant for the Culinary Foods program, where she remained until her early retirement in 2008 to assist in caring for her grandsons.

Gwyn was an artist in every sense of the word. She possessed an innate appreciation for beauty and expressed it through her paintings, gardening, sewing, costume designs, and music playlists, which she lovingly shared with her family. Additionally, Gwyn was a devoted hockey fan, never missing a Flames game.

Gwyn will be deeply missed and lovingly remembered by her husband, Marty Boogaart; daughter, Kerry Boogaart; sons, Cole and Chase Boogaart; grandsons, Aiden and Evan Phillips; sisters, Wendy (Mel) Norleen, Patricia (Howie) Klimack, and Barbara (Bob) Kieper; brother, Wally (Agnes) Klimack; sister-in-law, Gloria Pertson; as well as her nieces and nephews.

She was predeceased by her mother, Agnes Klimack; father, Berthold Klimack; brother, Earl Klimack; and daughter-in-law, Melissa Reed Boogaart.

Gwyn's warmth, creativity, and love will be cherished and remembered fondly by all who knew her.
