Ilean Gyorfi passed away peacefully at the age of 101 on June, 23, 2024. Born on April 2, 1923, Ilean was predeceased by her daughter Jeanette; sons Emil and Ernest (in infancy); daughter-in-law Janet; husband Frank; special friend Peter (Tom) Kuntz; as well as her parents; many friends and family; and all but one of her nine siblings.
She will be remembered by many people near and far, including her brother Otto (Betty); cherished children Irvin (Shirley), Ivy and Cindy (Bob); many grandchildren, great-grandchildren, great-great grandchildren, nieces, nephews and friends.
Ilean raised her family in the Southey area and moved to Regina in her 60s, settling in the Trianon Tower. She made many great friends playing crib and shuffleboard, and lived there until 2021 when she moved in with her children at the age of 98.
Ilean was sassy and full of love; she cherished her time with family more than anything else. She loved to have company and cook for guests — but her favourite activity was playing crib, which she played daily up until she passed. She enjoyed calling her grandchildren cheaters if she lost and laughing heartily if she won — something that never got old for any of us.
The family would like to give special thanks to the staff at Grace Hospice at William Booth and to the nurses on 3D at the Pasqua Hospital for caring for our sweet Ilean in the last few months of her life.
