She slipped peacefully back into the arms of God on Sunday, November 27, 2005. Remaining to forever cherish Winnie's memory are her devoted and loving husband, Michael; children, Debbie Schaefer (Chris), Dianne Thompson (Dirk) and Robert Zacharuk (Michelle). Her pride and joy were her grandchildren, Jarrod, Travis, Laura, Derek, Kelsey, Samantha, Zachary and Madison. She was preceded in death by her parents, Bertha and Herman Totzke and brother William Totzke. Winnie treated each day of life as a prized gift, devoting her time to loving and caring for her family and giving care and comfort to all she came in contact with. She shared the true meaning of unconditional love for her family and friends. Her faith and belief in God was always strong and unwavering. Winnie was active with the church, enjoyed knitting and needle point that she shared with her family. Our deep sense of loss is buoyed by our wonderful memories of a devoted wife, loving mother, grandmother and dedicated friend.
