JANET ELIZABETH SCHILKE
(QUALLY)
On February 4, 2022, with her sister-in-law Donna by her side, Jan passed away peacefully from a long-term illness Pulmonary Fibrosis.
Jan was predeceased by her husband of 41 years, Wes Schilke, by less than two months, and her parents, Marie and Douglas Qually.
Jan leaves to cherish her memory her brother Arthur (Lorraine) Qually, sister Barb (Mike) McCaughan; her stepchildren, Jennifer (Sean) and Joe, her grandson Richard (April); her sister-in-law Donna (John) Galloway; brother-in-law Calvin Schilke.; her birth mother Gale (Terry) Gibson; nieces and nephews, cousins and many friends and acquaintances.
Jan was a brilliant entrepreneur and worked closely with Wes for 35 years in their alarm company. She was always with a positive thought and incredible smile and contagious laugh. She was always determined that no illness would keep her from living life to the fullest. Jan and Wes spent many years at their time share in Puerto Vallarta in the winter and then eventually buying a cabin at Winnipeg Beach where they spent many weekends.
Cremation has taken place and a Celebration of Life for Jan and Wes will be held at a later date.
Jan you are once again reunited with "your guy", best friend and soul mate. We will miss you deeply.
Special thanks to the caring professionals at Health Sciences Centre for their compassionate care.

Dearest Jan, you were the absolute brightest light in our family! I can not picture your face without a huge smile on it...and it was always that way. You made everyone happy and you always made everyone feel like no matter what...everything was going to be ok. Meanwhile..you were fighting for your life and you never complained. You were tough. Well, you had a tough husband and I thank you for loving him so much. The way he told me he loved you. The last conversation I had with him, he said no one in the world would love him like you. I miss you so much Jan. You're with your "sweetheart" now...Young and healthy, dancing and singing together forever. Peace be with you.

I met Jan and her husband at Winnipeg Beach. The two of them were two of the nicest people. Jan was so friendly, and will be greatly missed, by all that had the privilege of knowing her. I am so sorry for your loss. - Posted by: Janet Sasaki (Acquaintance ) on: Mar 05, 2022
