LENNEA GUNHILD MALMAS It is with great sadness that the family announces the passing of Lennea Gunhild Malmas on September 13, 2015, at the age of 78 years, at the Parkview Care Home, Winnipeg, MB. Lennea will be lovingly remembered but sadly missed by her brother Nels (Janet) Malmas, sisters Jenny Najduch, Signe Johnson, Alma Malmas, Elsie Murray, and Carol Palmer, numerous nieces and nephews, and many relatives and friends. Lennea was predeceased by her grandparents Frederick and Margaret Malmas, Peter and Kathyrn Hoas, brothers Leonard Malmas, baby Malmas, father John Malmas, mother Emma Malmas, sisters Sigrid Johnson, Esther Dudman, and brothers-in-law, Bill Johnson, George Johnson, Barry Palmer, Walter Najduch, and Graham Murray.

She attended school in Meadows, grades 1 to 8, Hugh John MacDonald, Tech Voc, and Kelvin High, grades 9 to 11. She went to Success Commercial College and took accounting. She took a job with Hudson Paper and in 1961 the company was sold to Crown Zellerback and she was transferred to Vancouver, BC. She worked for them for 40 years until retirement. Lennea was an avid church goer, liked to knit, bowl, golf, play crib and bingo. She also enjoyed travelling. In 2009 she moved back to Winnipeg to be with family.

Lennea, WHILE 17 YEARS MY SENIOR, WAS SOMEONE WITH A PASSION FOR LIFE AND FAMILY. SHE WAS GONE FROM THE HOUSE WHEN WE WERE GROWING UP IN WINNIPEG AND THEN PORTAGE, ALTHOUGH MANY VISTS TO THE MEADOWS FARM WITH MY PAREENTS AND SIBLINGS WERE OFTEN AT AUNTIE EMMA'S HOUSE (her MOM). AS WE WOULD MEET UP HERE AND THERE OVER THESE MANY YEARS - AS I HAD MOVED TO MONTREAL THEN TO ONTARIO - WE WOULD SHARE STORIES AND OFTEN GET INTO A FRIENDLY FAMILY SPARING MATCH (about anything) ... SOMETHING WE WOULD BOTH CHUCKLE ABOUT. MY DECEASED BRO KEITH AND LENNEA ALSO HAD A SPECIAL BOND - BOTH OF THEM WITH SPECIAL NEEDS (which never slowed either of them down much). LENNEA YOUR FIESTY CHARACTOR STRAIGHTFORWARDNESS WAS WHAT MADE YOU THAT SPECIAL PERSON TO ME ... IN THAT REGARD WE WERE VERY MUCH THE SAME. EVENTUALLY, THE CORPOREAL BODY WEARS OUT - BUT THE SPIRIT NEVER DIES - IT JUST GOES BACK FROM WHENCE IT WAS. YOU MADE THIS WORLD BETTER. THE NEXT ADVENTURE HAS STARTED. FLY SAFELY SWEET LADY.
