REGINA KADA (KAY) KILCUP (nee SKUZANSKI) March 1, 1919 - August 28, 2011 Sadly, we announce the sudden passing of Regina Kilcup in her 93rd year. Predeceased by parents Frank and Tekla Skuzanski, husband Percy in 1996, brothers Charles Skuzanski (Stirling), Tony Skuzanski, and sister Helen Rose (Bohannon). Kay will be lovingly remembered by her children, Janet Ridgedale (Jeff), Gordon (Gerri), Raymond, and grandchildren Lindsey, Kyle and Marshall. She is also survived by brother Stan Skuzanski (Irene), sister-in-law Zanie Stirling, and numerous nieces and nephews. Kay was born in Lorette, MB and lived her youth in Winnipeg's north end. She was an active member of C.P.A.C., playing many team sports. She married Percy in 1951, at Holy Trinity Church, and celebrated 45 years of marriage. Together they were active in the Legion #90 for many years. Mom belonged to a bowling league, where she played and was secretary for many years. She loved playing the piano, travelling, and bingo. Many occasions were enjoyed with family and friends at the cottage at Bird Lake which she and Percy built together in the early 1960s. Her self-prescribed medication to longevity was enjoying a daily dose of Navy Rum. In keeping with mom's wishes, cremation has taken place with a private family service to follow. Father in Heaven hear our prayer Guard our Mother with tender care. Be a good Shepherd, don't leave her alone. Love her as we loved her When she was here at home.
