MARY ANNE ZOLINSKI Peacefully on June 7th, 2016, surrounded by her family, Mary passed away at the Arborg and District Health Centre. Left to cherish her memory are her loving husband Mike of 54 years; son Terry (Lisa) Zolinski; daughter Michelle Johnson and youngest daughter Marcy (Darcy) Timchishen; grandchildren, Michael, Jordan, Shelby, Tanner, Shane, Molly and Benjamin; along with son-in-law Eric Johnson and her sister Jean Green. Mary had many sister and brothers-in-law, nieces and nephews. Mary was predeceased by her parents William and Pearl Onufreychuk and her brother Edward Onufreychuk. Mary was born on October 26th, 1942 in Fisher Branch, MB. Her childhood years were spent on the farm in Hodgson, MB. In 1958, her family moved to Winnipeg where she attended West Kildonan Collegiate. Mary met Mike in 1959 and married in 1962. She worked in Winnipeg until 1969 when they started their family. In 1974, Mary and Mike started farming in Rembrandt, where they built a mixed farm with beef, dairy, pigs, chickens and grain. They had several farms over the years including a dairy farm, a chicken farm and after a brief semi retirement in Creston, BC they resumed farming in Rembrandt where they retired from farming in 2002. Mary also worked at the Arborg Bakery for 17 years and retired in 2006. Mary was very active in the kitchen. She made the best chicken soup, coleslaw, perogies and pyrizhky. She received special orders on a regular basis. Her grandchildren could empty a jar of her homemade pickles in minutes it seemed. You couldn't visit the house without eating as Mary would be quite insulted. Coffee was never just coffee. Mary had many friends and one of her passions for many years was playing cards. Many nights were spent playing Canasta till the early morning hours. Mary had quite the sense of humour that only her closest friends knew. Mary accepted Jesus and is in Heaven today looking down and always offering her guidance and blessings to her family. Special thanks to the nurses and doctors at the Arborg Health Center for their tremendous care and support. Funeral services will be held at the Arborg-Bifrost Community Center on Saturday, June 11, 2016 at 10:30 a.m. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made in Mary's name to Arborg Hospital, Box 10, Arborg, MB.
