ELEANOR SOPHIE LYDIA GUZIAK 1947 - 2012 It is with great sadness we announce the passing of Eleanor Guziak on Saturday, April 14, 2012 at St. Boniface Hospital, with her family by her side, after a courageous battle with cancer. She is survived by her son, Jason (Sandy) and grandchildren Stephanie and Devin, her daughter, Melanie Heiser and grandson Dustin, her dog Peanut, brother Gary Olynyk, sisters Joyce (Bill) Boschman, Sharon (Dave) Sagurski, and Rachel Olynyk, as well as numerous relatives and friends. She was predeceased by her father William Olynyk, mother Marion Olynyk, husband Norman Guziak, brother Harold Olynyk, and son-in-law Rick Heiser. Eleanor worked for many years in the retail business but what she most treasured was working alongside her brother Harold at his many stores and flower stands. The family would like to thank Dr. Leppelmann of The Nature Doctors, the staff at www.BeyondHealth.com, Concordia Hospital, and St. Boniface Hospital Palliative Care for their support and kindness. A memorial service will be held on Saturday, April 21, 2012 from 1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. at the West Kildonan Memorial Community Centre, 346 Perth Ave. at Powers Street.

My wish was I had had the chance to have met you. The stories I’ve heard, you were a remarkable woman who lived life to the fullest. You brought up the most amazing daughter Melanie, and your son Jason is a great man. I’ve spent time in your home where your daughter Melanie lives now with her son Dustin, and I see the memories of you and your family everywhere. Melanie gave me a vegetable chopper that was yours that I will treasure forever! And every Caesar I drink is absolutely in your honour! ❤️❤️❤️ - Posted by: Nathan Friesen (Want to be family) on: Jun 26, 2021

Like the sunshine, when Eleanor entered a room there was warmth, and her light brightened even the darkest corners of that space. Condolences to you her family, and thank you for sharing your sunshine with us, her neighbours and friends. - Posted by: Marguerite Sargent (friend and neighbour) on: Apr 20, 2012

I have known Eleanor since I was 13 yrs. old and remember all the good times and laughs we had in those early 60's (I was always welcome at the house) and although we lost touch over the years raising our families, I fondly remember Eleanor coming to my Dad's funeral in 2004. My sincere condolences to the family. - Posted by: Barbara Magalas (nee Nichols) (Friend) on: Apr 18, 2012
