GWENDOLEN JAMES
June 4, 1925 - November 12, 2021

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our dear mother, grandmother and great-grandmother at the age of 96, who passed away peacefully on Friday, November 12, 2021, with her daughter Liz by her side.
She was predeceased by her much loved husband Ken, in 2010, her twin babies, Nicholas and Richard, parents, Annie and Alfred James, and sister Constance Vincent.
She is lovingly remembered by her son Tony, daughter Liz (Bill), granddaughter Christina, grandson John (Lisa), grandson Chris (Krista) and her great-grandsons, James and Charles, niece Sally Hatcher (Carla), nephew John Vincent (Carol).
Mum was born in London, England, where she met and married the love of her life, Ken (Kazimierz Tadeusz Toziczka), a Polish pilot in the Royal Air Force. They immigrated to Winnipeg in 1957, along with their two children, Tony and Liz, for a better life. They made many close friends in their new home, entertaining generously. They enjoyed almost 67 years of happy marriage, travelling to many destinations, such as New Zealand, Hawaii, Europe and many of the United States. Mum was a great cook and prolific reader; solving crossword puzzles was also one of her favourite hobbies.
Her family wishes to also express their sincere gratitude to the staff and residents of Clover Bar Pioneer Court, and to the nurses, doctors and staff at CapitalCare Strathcona Heritage House for the care and kindness kindness shown to Mum during her stay there; thanks also to Fr. Jim Corrigan of Our Lady of Perpetual Help, Sherwood Park, Alberta.
Her legacy will be her kindness, generosity and unconditional love for her family and friends. She will be deeply missed.
In accordance with her wishes, cremation has taken place and interment with Dad will follow in the spring.
