Laura Margaret Schappert

She will be lovingly remembered by her daughter Cheryl Vaillant; granddaughters Nicole (James), Danielle (Colin); son Curtis Scott Schappert; granddaughter Rachel (Jesse); great grandson Jasper Singer and grandson Kyle Schappert.

Mom also leaves her sisters Olivia Stanley, and Elizabeth Corkal, both of Winnipeg and sister in law Valdine Bjornsson of Gimli.

Laura was born to Larus and Margret Bjornsson on April 17, 1930. She was raised in Arborg. She met Dad and they were married February 27, 1954. They lived in Shellbrooke, Saskatchewan and then Winnipeg. Mom worked as a secretary for many years and retired from United Grain Growers Ltd., in 1988.

Mom was a kind and gentle woman who was dedicated to her family and career. We will miss her and her beautiful smile. It is a comfort to know that her suffering is over and she is with God.

The family wished to thank Dr. M. Ochanska, her Homecare workers, Dr. Ormiston and the staff of Concordia Hospital for their excellent care.

A celebration of her life will take place on Monday, March 21, 2016, 2:00 p.m. at Lutheran Church of the Good Shepherd, 401 Kildare Ave., Winnipeg.
