It is with sadness that we announce the passing of Melvin "Mel" Lacey on Tuesday, February 1, 2022 with his wife Linda by his side.

Mel was born in the Mossey River district, in Manitoba, on Friday, May 26, 1933.  He attended school in Fork river and then in Winnipegosis.

As a young man, Mel left Winnipegosis by train and ventured off to Churchill in 1953 looking for work.  In Churchill Mel began his career as an electrician and met and married the first love of his life, Doris Urquhart.  Mel moved to The Pas in 1970 where he continued to work with Manitoba Hydro until he retired in 1991.

Mel was united in marriage to Linda in 1988 and together they enjoyed their acreage out on Rahl's Island, enjoying their garden, the pool, and the many acres of lawn and flowers.  Here they were gracious hosts to many a fine gathering on many occasions.

Mel loved to golf, curl, fish and fashioned many fine sets of golf clubs for anyone who asked.

Left to mourn Mel are his wife Linda; his children Robert, Susan (Glen), Kenneth (Kari) and stepsons Rodney (Shayne) and Darcey Graham; grandchildren Jason, Jenilee (Mat), Nicole (Gerard), Jack, Kamrin and step-grandchildren Bailey, Mackenzie, Justyn, Brayden and Samantha; great granddaughters Katalyia and Phoebe; and numerous nieces and nephews.

Mel was predeceased by his parents, first wife Doris; daughter-in-law Penny, five brothers, one sister and grandson Cy.

In keeping with family wishes, cremation has taken place and a private family service was held at Lakeside Cemetery, The Pas, MB, on Monday, February 7, 2022.
