CECILIA PRUCYK My time has come! Who better to write my obituary but me. I am the last surviving member of the original Prucyk family. I passed away on February 21, 2018 at the Grace Hospital. I was born in Selkirk, MB, the ninth child of beloved parents, Regina and Martin Prucyk. I spent my fortunate years there. Prior to retirement in 1989, I was employed by Canadian Industries Ltd. for 10 years and the Department of National Defense for 37 years, in Churchill, Ottawa and Winnipeg. I have been predeceased by my parents, siblings, Nellie, Jessie, Jeanne, Stephanie, Walter, Joe, Blanche, Frank, Leon and sister-in-law Christina. I am survived by sisters-in-law, Evelyn, Mary and Sonja Prucyk and many dear nieces and nephews, and grandnieces and nephews. I lived a wonderful life with many special friends and I thank all who helped me along my path of life. I apologize to anyone whom I have inadvertently hurt in any way. I go now into the unknown to meet my maker and reunite with my earthly family. Funeral Mass to be held at Blessed John XXIII Parish at 11:00 a.m. on Thursday, March 1, 2018. Interment at Notre Dame Cemetery, Selkirk. Although I enjoyed flowers during my lifetime, should friends desire in lieu, make a donation to a charity of your choice. I said to the man who stood at the gate of the year "Give me a light that I may tread safely into the unknown." and he replied "Go into the darkness and put your hand into the hand of God That shall be safer than the known way." (Author unknown) A special thanks to Dr. Borrett, the nursing staff and support staff for all their kindness and compassion. Condolences, pictures and videos may be left at www.gilbartfuneralhome.com Gilbart Funeral Home, Selkirk in care of arrangements.

Cec and I worked together in the 1980s and kept in touch over the years by phone calls, letters and cards. We last corresponded at Christmas 2017. I was away for the winter and did not know she had passed. I have thought of her a lot lately and decided to call her number today and found out it was disconnected so I checked to see if there was an obituary for her and found it. I am so deeply saddened but I know she had a good life. I will miss our phone calls and letters. Rest in peace, my dear friend. - Posted by: Lorraine Saunders (Friend) on: Jun 15, 2018

We met in the early 1960s as neighbours in the Millicent Apartments in Winnipeg. We became friends quickly and over the years we had many fun times with Cec and Stephanie. I spoke to Cec earlier this year and we caught up on things. So many fine memories and many laughs, I will miss her but I am so glad we talked earlier this year on the telephone. My deepest condolences to the family and all who assisted her in the years past. May she rest in peace. Robert Hamilton, Vancouver, BC - Posted by: Robert J.

Cecilia was a wonderful lady. I got a few really good recipes from her. She loved the apple tree. We were waiting for this summer to go for a few walks. We both went to the same church. I am her neighbour. Rest in Peace my dear friend. Condolences to the family. Love Maria Wallack. - Posted by: Maria Wallack () on: Feb 27, 2018
