BARBARA ANNE PAVLEK (1970 - 2006) After a four year battle with cancer, Barbara Anne Pavlek went home to be with Jesus on October 19, 2006. She is survived by her parents Bev and Mike Pavlek of Souris, Manitoba, her sister Deb Pavlek (Jessica and Troy) of Edmonton, AB and her sister Susan Korman and husband Tim (Kristopher and Kathryn) of Martensville, SK. She also left behind many aunts, uncles and cousins as well as many dear friends. Barbara was born on July 31, 1970 in Souris, and grew up in Thompson, Manitoba. She graduated from Trinity Western University in 1992 and later moved to Winnipeg where she began her career working with people with developmental disabilities. Barbara was passionate about community living and the rights of those with developmental disabilities. She worked for various community living agencies, most recently Arcane Horizons. Her passion led her to also volunteer her time and energy at LIFE Inc., where she sat on the board of directors, as well as participated on support networks. Her experience, gentle heart and bold sincerity blessed many throughout her career. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to Cancer Care Manitoba. A memorial celebration in honour of Barbara's life will be held on Monday, October 30, 2006, at the West End Christian Community Church, 1344 Erin Street, in Winnipeg, at 4:30 p.m. The church is wheelchair accessible (not the bathrooms), and a nursery room is available. It was Barbara's request that we celebrate her life, and so with colour, food and music we will remember our dear friend. Come and remember.
