MARY ONISCHUK
(nee POCHUK)
October 29, 1930 - February 16, 2020
Mary will be missed by her son Gary; brothers, Nick, Steve (Beth), Bill (Shirley); sister Anne (Ron) and sister-in-law Mary Pochuk and numerous nieces, nephews and many friends.
Mary was predeceased by her parents, Mike and Anna Pochuk; her brothers, John and Mike and sisters-in-law, Barbara and Rita.
Mary grew up in the Cooks Creek area and moved to Winnipeg in her early teens. She first worked as a maid and later at Jeanne's Bakery, from where she retired after 30 plus years. Her work consisted of sales lady, store manager and cake decorator.
Mary was a single parent and strived to save enough money to buy a house in Transcona, where she lived until going to Grace Hospital and then to the Misericordia.
On Mary's behalf, the family would like to acknowledge the compassionate care she
received from the medical personnel and their support staff while at Misericordia
Hospital.
A memorial service will be held on
Wednesday, February 26, 2020 at 11:00 a.m. at Cropo Funeral Chapel, 1800 Day Street.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Mary's memory to a charity of your choice.

Mary was such a nice neighbor. If I was outside she would always stop by and say hi. She will be missed - Posted by: Alex (Neighbor ) on: May 01, 2020

I moved in 8 years ago and Mary was always there to chat about flowers or pop by if we were outside. She took such pride in her flowers and was so sweet to the girls and I. She would always ask us over to see her new flowers or lights. We were so sad to hear of Mary's passing. - Posted by: Debbie, Camrin & Jordin Place (neighbours) on: Feb 26, 2020

Mary was always so kind. We used to refer to her as Ms. O. I lived across the street from her for 10 years until we moved away 10 + years ago. Have thought often about how she was doing. My mom and her used to plant flowers together, they shared a passion for gardening. Sad to hear she has passed. - Posted by: Jordan Podolsky (Neighbour) on: Feb 24, 2020

I have been Mary's neighbor since 2005 and she has always been so welcoming. She is one of the kindest people I know and she was always over helping me with my gardening. She is one of a kind and will be greatly missed. - Posted by: Scott Moyer (Neighbor ) on: Feb 22, 2020
