ALEKSANDRA KACZMAREK
(nee TUTAJ)
Aleksandra was born in Zembrzyce, Poland, November 23, 1931. She met and married her husband Piotr in Sweden in 1949. In 1952, she and her husband immigrated to Winnipeg with their small daughter where she lived for over 40 years and raised four children. Aleksandra was an active part of the Winnipeg theatre community for many years, making costumes for the many productions at Rainbow Stage and the Hollow Mug dinner theatre.
While raising her family, they built a cottage at West Hawk Lake and spent many weekends there with family and friends. Time was spent sailing, fishing, making crepes and lounging in the hammock.
After having worked in real estate for several years, she renovated and flipped homes in the Winnipeg area, before moving permanently to Creston. During her time in Creston, she made preserves, wine and knitted voraciously for the local hospital. She loved sending her great-grandchildren packages of home-made dried fruit and jams.
Aleksandra was predeceased by her parents, her two brothers, Mirek and Lech, and her daughter Barbara. She is survived by her three remaining children, Nina, Tom and Michael; as well as her nieces, Marg (Michael), Mary and Ola, grandnephew Mathew and grandniece Megan; her grandchildren, Clifford (Angie), Barbara (Robert), Tonya, Donovan (Laura), Sarah (Jim), Terry (Amanda), Robin and Mel; great-grandchildren, Donovan, Ashley, Trinity, Katie, Ashley, Logan, Colton, Ethan, Gracie, Josh, Owen, Ronan, Tia and Eli.
Celebration of Life will be planned in the future.

We met when she moved in across the road in Wynndel. We shared a love of knitting, and we would get together quite often where she would give me yarn and a pattern for some item she would like me to do for her. Sometimes we would go out for lunch and a drive, after she moved into Crestview. She was very smart, and had a snide sense of humor, which I loved. I talked with her at the beginning of this month, but didn't know she was feeling poorly at that time, she didnt enjoy being isolated,and we said when this was over we would go out somewhere. She always talked about how sad she felt over Michael's bad times, and she always mentioned her grandkids. I'm sorry we won't see her anymore. - Posted by: Nellie Daniels (Friend) on: Apr 24, 2020
