CECILE MARIE MISTELBACHER (nee BERARD) With heavy hearts, we announce the passing of Cecile Mistelbacher on January 19, 2011 at St. Boniface Hospital at the age of 85. Predeceased by her loving husband Ernie Mistelbacher in 1993, Cecile is survived by her daughter Gail (Jeff) Habing, sons Karl (Judy), Ken (Jill), and Roy (Debbie). Grandchildren Courtney and Justin, Dezi (Stacey) and Chase (Teresa), Dana and Ashley (Cavan), Derek (Dagny) and Lee, and great-grandchildren Ethan and Aurora.

She also leaves to mourn many extended family members and friends. She was also predeceased by her parents Lizzie and Gib, sister Lorraine, and brother Pat. Cecile was born in Ste. Anne, Manitoba on October 27, 1925 and resided in the general area all her life. She met Ernie and they were married on December 27, 1950. They lived and farmed in and around the Prairie Grove and Lorette area. Although Cecile worked briefly at Felix's store where she met her beloved Ernie, she most loved being a homemaker, wife, mother, grandmother and great-grandmother. Anyone who ever visited her at their home on the farm was treated to coffee, dainties, even a full course meal, and if you were really fortunate, you got a taste of her legendary cheesecake. All her family and friends loved her dearly and will miss her very much. A Celebration of Cecile's Life will be held at 1:00 p.m. on Monday, January 24, 2011 at Green Acres Funeral Home and Cemetery.
