EMILY KAZIL October 2, 1918 - February 18, 2010 It is with great sadness that we announce the peaceful passing of Emily at the Riverview Health Centre on Thursday, February 18, 2010 at the age of 91 years, with the family at her side. Emily was the eldest daughter of Josef and Olga Valka (deceased) and was born in Kruzeburg (Fraserwood), Manitoba. Emily's strong faith in God has been her source of strength through all the trials and tribulations of her life. We have no doubt she is now embracing those who have gone before her and she is at peace in her eternal home. Emily will be sadly missed by all who knew and loved her. Emily was predeceased by her husband Jerry, her brother Joseph, her sisters Mary and Anne, brothers-in-law George Mitchell, Ned Hodge and sisters-in-law Nettie Valka, Mary (John) Pawlusek, Emma (John) Tutura and mother-in-law Antonia Kazil. Emily is survived by her two sisters Betty Mitchell and Julie Hodge as well as many nieces and nephews. Emily worked at Winnipeg Music Supply for more than 35 years. After her retirement she moved to her new home in Teulon until her health failed in 1997. The family would like to express their sincere thanks for the exceptional care she received from the doctors and staff throughout her stay at Teulon and Riverview Health Centre. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Muscular Dystrophy or a charity of your choice. Services will be held on Wednesday, February 24 at 2:00 p.m. with viewing at 1:30 p.m. at Glen Eden Funeral Home, 4477 Main St., 338-7111.
