It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, aunt and friend. Left to cherish her memory are her children, Wayne (Diane), Bonnie (Ben) and Joanne; her grandchildren, Krista, Loni (April), Sarah (Josh) and Joshua; great-grandchildren, Ezra and Adrianne; nephews, Ron, Jerry, Clarence, Brian and Hilton; nieces, Lorna, Sandra, Doreen, Gail, Wendy, Shannon, Jackie and Robin; great-niece, Alissa; close friends, Cornelia and Helen; and many other nieces and nephews. Waiting for her in heaven are her husband, parents, brothers, sisters, and close nephews, Ken and Allan. Mom loved life and lived it to the fullest, despite overcoming many challenges during her time. She loved her family, friends, travel, cards and especially, crib. We will miss the sparkle in her eye, her zest for life, and her strong will and character. A Memorial service will be held Saturday, March 23, 2019 at 2:00 p.m. at Klassen Funeral Home, 1897 Henderson Hwy, Winnipeg, MB, 204-338-0331.
