JEAN HLADKYJ 1932 - 2015 After a courageous battle with cancer, on Sunday morning, June 7, 2015, Jean passed away peacefully in the comfort of her own home with her daughters by her side. She was a beloved wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother and friend, survived by her children Stephen, Michael (Lorelei), Cathy (Terry), and Mary (Simon). She also leaves to mourn her passing, her grandchildren Andrea (Trevor), Dustin, Eric (Meghan), Ian, Elysia (James), Tyler, Graham and Tori, and her two great-grandsons, Parker and Hudson. She is also survived by many family and friends in England. Jean was predeceased by her husband Peter, and her parents William and Edith. Jean, better known as "Granny", was born in Crewe, England on August 17, 1932. Jean met Peter following the Second World War, and soon after they immigrated to Canada and were married in 1952. They were both very proud of their new life in Canada, and began the journey of raising a family and home in Winnipeg. Granny loved the simple things in life like conversation over a cup of tea, family dinners, tending to her flower beds, reading and doing crossword puzzles. She loved nature and the outdoors. Her greatest joy was her family. We will all dearly miss the comfort and support she so routinely offered when we needed it most. The family would like to offer special thanks to the home care workers and nurses that made it possible for our mother to spend her final days at home. Funeral Service will be held on Wednesday, June 10, 2015 at 10:00 a.m. at St. Nicholas Ukrainian Catholic Church, 737 Bannerman Ave., with Father Isidore Dziadyk officiating. If friends so desire, donations can be made to the CancerCare Manitoba Foundation. Cropo Funeral Chapel, 204-586-8044

Cathy and family: I came across your mother's obituary, and I am sorry to hear of her passing. I remember her as a kind woman with an easy laugh. When I slept over or played at your house as a child, she was always so very kind to me. Cathy, please contact me if you would like to meet some time. I live in Saskatchewan but visit Winnipeg on occasion to see my family. - Posted by: Kim Kuzak (Childhood friend of Cathy.) on: Jan 30, 2016

Our deepest sympathies to all of you for your loss. I know she was a wonderful mother and grandmother and above all a true 'lady'. She was always kind, gentle and patient. May you find comfort and strength in your memories. - Posted by: Sandra Dawson-Foley (Family friend) on: Jun 10, 2015
