They lived together in Altona and soon after moved to Winnipeg. She was very active in the Charleswood community and supported the growth of the family every way she could. Mom was an active member of the Charleswood United Church for over 40 years. It would be a rare day that she missed a Sunday service. Our Mom ran a warm, loving home. She devoted her life to raising her family. She loved to knit and bake. Mom was a great cook and everyone was always welcome for a meal or a cup of tea. No one ever left her kitchen hungry. Noodle Soup and fresh buns anyone? She passed on many of these traits to her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. Sue's Funeral Service will be held on Wednesday, June 15, 2016 at 10:30 a.m. in Westwood Community Church, 401 Westwood Drive. Interment will follow in Chapel Lawn Cemetery, 4000 Portage Avenue. The family extends a sincere thank-you to the staff and friends at the Lindenwood Terrace, The Rosewood and for the last three months, the comfort care provided to Mom by the Victoria Hospital. In lieu of flowers Mom would ask that you donate to the Union Gospel Mission or Siloam Mission in Winnipeg. Mom regularly donated to these charities and believed in their work. Wojcik's Funeral Chapels & Crematorium, Winnipeg, 2157 Portage Avenue, 204.897.4665 www.wojciksfuneralchapel.com The smell of turkey and fresh baked pies made our mouths water and never dry. Homemade jams and cookies galore always had me coming for more. My plate not empty, my tummy full. Grandma says it's ok you can have dessert anyway. The sound of laughter and never cries, made our hearts smile with family ties. Off to the zoo, Polo Park or Charleswood Department store, staying at Grandma's was never a bore. To the rink we go to watch uncles play hockey. A blanket and treats as we sat in the seats. A short visit with her while I'm in town. I know you don't remember me but that's ok. I'm sure now it's all coming back to you. S.K
