STANISLAWA ZIEMSKI Peacefully, on Saturday, December 3, 2005 at Riverview Health Centre, Stanislawa Ziemski passed away at the age of 89 years. Stanislawa was born in the town of Budzanow, Western Ukraine, December 11, 1915, the second youngest of ten children of Anton Ziemski and Katarzyna Ciastko. During the Second World War, she was taken to forced labour in Germany and upon her return home, the entire family was relocated to the new lands assigned to Poland. In 1958, Stasia immigrated to Winnipeg to make a better life for herself and to be with her sisters Stephania Lach and Rozalia Litwin and their families. She worked in the housekeeping department of the old Victoria Hospital on River Ave. and then the Health Sciences Centre until she retired. Stasia was a member of St. John Cantius Church. Her Church and her family were very important to her. Stasia is survived by her youngest sister, Geneowefa and her husband Wojchieh Bugierszta and nieces and nephews in Poland. In Winnipeg, she is survived by her niece Josephine Klymkiw and her husband Bohdan; great-nieces Roxanne Taylor (Ron and their daughter Stephanie); great-nephew Mark (Peggy and their children Natasha, Alycia and Joseph); great-nephew Marek Sawicki (Joanna and their sons Lucas, Matthew and Paul) of Tacoma, Washington.
