MARY CHLOPECKI September 25, 1920 - February 5, 2017 It is with deep sadness and heavy hearts that we announce the sudden passing of our Aunt Mary at the age of 96 years, with family by her side in Calgary, AB. To cherish her memory, Mary leaves behind her beloved niece Marlene (Terry) Phillips and their children, great-niece and nephews, Ashleigh and Ryan of Calgary, AB and Scott (Andrea), great great-niece Claudia of Edmonton, AB. She was predeceased by her loving parents; four sisters and five brothers. Mary was a very joyous person and filled the room with her laughter and smiles. She was always concerned with other people and put their feelings ahead of her own. Being born and raised on the farm in Malonton, MB, Mary had a deep love for the country and fresh air. Although she moved to Winnipeg to start her career, her roots and many beautiful memories always remained in the countryside. Mary's passion and work were one in the same. Her varied careers included Eaton's mail order, Ogilvie Flour Mill and lastly the Children's Hospital, where she could embrace her deep love of children, retiring in 1985 after 26 years of dedicated service. Her greatest enjoyment was singing English and festive Ukrainian songs and dancing, especially the polka until the very end. Mary will be sadly missed and remembered for her compassion to others. As Mary always said"It is not what you take when you leave this world, but it's what you leave behind when you go." A Graveside Funeral Service will be held on Friday, March 17, 2017 at 11:00 a.m. in Brookside Cemetery, 3001 Notre Dame Avenue, Winnipeg. In lieu of flowers, donations in Mary's honor can be made to the Children's Hospital of Manitoba, CE501 - 840 Sherbrook Street, Winnipeg, MB, R3A 1S1.
