NINA MAZUREK May 25, 1940 March 23, 2013 It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Nina Mazurek, our much loved sister and aunt at the St. Boniface Palliative Care Unit. We are so thankful that her entire family was with her during this devastating time. She was predeceased by her parents, Egnat and Helen Mazurek and nephew Douglas Ralke. Nina will be sadly missed by her sister, Jean (Ralph), nephew Larry (Shirley), niece Janice, sister Vera (Fred), nephew Robert (Terry), great-nieces Sara (Ian), Robin, Aime, great- nephews, Dylan, Cory and Ryan, great-great- niece Taylor and great-great-nephew Epic. Nina considered Vera's children and grandchildren as her own and she spoiled and loved them dearly. Nina lived her entire life in Winnipeg working for Manitoba Telephone System for 38 years. After retirement she was young enough to continue working part time at the Relay Store in the old Airport and Duty Free at the New Airport. She loved all her jobs, but especially the people she met and worked with. Nina will be remembered for loyalty to her long list of friends whom she has known for a long time. Nina was an avid volunteer with Pioneers, major Golf and Curling events, Red Nose Driver, Indigenous Games to name a few. Big Sister was a big part of her life. Nina travelled far and wide to Russia, Jamaica, Barbados, Cuba, Hawaii, Florida, Mexico, Arizona, New York, Surrey, BC, even Gimli, MB. Special thanks to St. Boniface Emergency Dept, 5E Ward and Dr. Ted St. Goddard and Joanne in Palliative Care.

I worked with Nina at the Data Test Centre for about 4 years, she "Managed" us with humor and a smile. She never raised her voice and I'm sure she would have named her first ulcer after me. God Bless you Nina, you are going to be missed. Rest in Peace. - Posted by: Ross Matheson (worked with Nina at the Data Test Centre/MTS) on: Apr 01, 2013

She spent her last moments surrounded by her family whom all love her dearly and she will be truly missed. We will all be reunited one day, until then we can all hold her dear to our hearts. P.S. Did I mention what a damn strong woman she is. A true fighter!!!Love U always - Sara, Ian, Taylor & Epic - Posted by: Sara Ralke (Niece) on: Apr 01, 2013

I worked with Nina at MTS many (well not that many), years ago. Although I no longer work for MTS or live in Canada, I occasionally ran into Nina when my husband and I flew out of Winnipeg. She was always so bright and bubbly, just a warm and loving person. She also knew my dad Eric Powell, from MTS. There are a great many people who will miss her, I am just one of them. RIP Nina. - Posted by: Gaynor Henry (nee Powell) (Co-worker at MTS) on: Mar 31, 2013

I will always cherish the time working with Nina. I've known her ever since she started in the airport. I will miss her laugh, and zest for life. Will miss her smile while talking about her winter trips with her family. She will always be remembered. I will remember the garlic sausage and cinnamon buns she would bring in.

My mom Mary passed three years ago and worked with Nina at Relay. She loved Nina for her friendship and great personality and I thank Nina for the kind words after mom died. Condolences to the family for your loss - as much as you are grieving her friends and family in heaven are welcoming her with open arms - I knows mom will be! - Posted by: Leslie Eskra (My late Mom's friend and co-worker) on: Mar 30, 2013

Nina, you were so generous to me. You gave me your time and attention and I could never thank you properly because you would always more than reciprocate. I love you and carry your smile and spirit in my heart. - Posted by: Karen Stevan (Goddaughter) on: Mar 29, 2013

Nina was my cousin, but she was more like a sister to me. Her kindness to my mother, her generosity of spirit and time will be forever remembered. I am so sorry to see her go so early. I hope that wherever she is right now, that she has the peace she deserves and knows how well loved she was on earth. - Posted by: Diana Stevan (cousin) on: Mar 29, 2013

I was 18 when I first met Nina. I was from rural Northern Manitoba and MTS was my first big job in Winnipeg. Nina helped me so much in every way. So kind and understanding, so patient and funny. I loved working at MTS and she was the main reason. A super, wonderful Lady. RIP Nina - Posted by: Pat Castle (worked with Nina at MTS in the 1970's)) on: Mar 26, 2013
