Send Flowers to the Family Offer Condolences or MemoryDENISE MARIE BLANCHE JOHNS
It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of our beloved mother and grandmother, Denise Marie Blanche Johns, on Wednesday, March 22, 2023, at the Peter Loughead Centre in Calgary, Alberta.
Denise will be lovingly remembered by her daughter Diana Kashuba, son Michael (Vanessa), and her grandchildren, Nicholas, Aiden, Mason, Kaydence, Kaylee, Addison, and Zachary as well as her former son-in- law Chad Kashuba.
Prior to the decline of her health in 2011, Mom enjoyed her retirement by taking weekend trips to Grand Forks and Fargo with her daughter, sushi dates with friends, and spending time with her grandsons. In November of 2020, Denise made the decision to say farewell to Winnipeg, and live the remainder of her years with her son and his family in Calgary. Although she hadn’t lived in Calgary for very long, Mom was able to reconnect with her son, strengthen her relationship with her daughter-in-law Vanessa, and make memories with her granddaughters and her special boy Zachary.
Denise was predeceased by her husband Wes Johns in February of 2010, sister Jeannette Godin in August of 2017, her father Marcel Godin in September of 2000, brother Roger Godin in June of 1999, and her mother Jeanne D’Arc Godin in June of 1975.
We would like to extend our deepest thanks to the doctors, nurses, and other staff of Units 38 and 42 at the Peter Loughead Centre in Calgary, Alberta for their kindness and compassion during Denise’s last days.
A Memorial Mass will be held on Friday May 5, 2023, at 9:45 a.m. at St. Peter’s Roman Catholic Church, 748 Keewatin Street.
In lieu of flowers, if friends so desire, donations can be made to the Heart and Stroke Foundation, 1379 Kenaston Blvd., Winnipeg, MB R3P 2T5.
