Marlene Joan Weselak

It is with great sadness that we announce the sudden passing of Joan Weselak peacefully with Son David

and wife Keri by her side on February 17 2022.

Joan will be lovingly remembered by her son David and his wife Keri, grandchildren Caeden, Talon, Eben,

Merrick, Ethan and Owen.

Joan was predeceased by her son Kevin and loving husband Vic.

Mom grew up in Langruth Mb (Lakeland) and later moved to Winnipeg where she met and married Dad

July 4th 1964. They raised their two sons, Kevin and David in their family home in Fort Garry. She

attended teachers college and graduated to become a phys ed teacher. She taught at General Byng and

Acadia high school. She was often referred to as Mom instead of Miss Weselak.

Mom and Dad retired in 2003, which gave mom lots of time to continue her love of gardening. She was a

member of the horticultural society and won several awards. Her garden was spectacular. They also

became snowbirds and loved spending winters in Texas where they enjoyed many rounds of golf. They

also enjoyed happy hour with their neighbors who became lifelong friends.

Later in life mom moved to Pinawa with her partner Geoff Knight where she continued her love of

gardening. They enjoyed cruising of allsorts, on the Pinawa river on their pontoon boat and on the

highways on the motorcycle and then the Spyder. In the winter they would travel many kilometers

breaking their own trails by snowshoe through the bush in Pinawa.

Mom will be forever loved and forever missed.

We would like to thank the staff in the ICU at the Grace Hospital for taking such good care of mom.

In lieu of flowers donations can be made to the cancer society.
