BERTHA LACHOWSKI (LAHOSKI) Peacefully on Friday, January 21, 2011 Bertha passed away at the Fred Douglas Lodge with her family at her side. She is survived by her son Donald; daughters Lorraine (Steve), Beverley (Ron) and Marilyn; granddaughter Connie (Terry) and great-granddaughter Amanda; brother Dan Draward (Elsie) and many sisters and brothers-in-law, nieces and nephews. Bertha was predeceased by her husband Mathew (1993), son-in-law William (2002), daughter-in-law Jeannette (2005) and her parents and siblings. She was born in Winnipeg on April 9, 1914 and lived in Lydiatt, Beausejour and Winnipeg. Bertha was mostly a wonderful homemaker most of her life but ventured out to work for a short period at a sewing factory. She was the only woman I know that could feed a houseful of unexpected guests at the drop of a hat. Her Borscht was famous as well as her huge repertoire of other dishes she made. She was truly a wonderful mother and she will be sorely missed. We thank God we had her as long as we did. Rest easy mom, you earned it. A special thanks to the staff of Evergreen Unit at Fred Douglas Lodge for their compassionate care of our mother during her stay there. Funeral Service will be held on Saturday, January 29 at 2:00 p.m. at Glen Eden Funeral Home, 4477 Main Street. In lieu of flowers a donation may be made in Bertha's name to the Fred Douglas Lodge.
