Magdelana was born in Schuler, Alberta, the youngest of four children. She moved to Manitoba in 1952 and eventually resided in Winnipeg where she raised her family. In 1970 she started work at the Grace Hospital and retired in 1993. She was a beautiful, strong, dedicated, kind caring woman with a heart of gold. Her door was always open to anyone (of course it always came with a meal or snack). She was a member of the legion and enjoyed all their events especially bowling and the picnics. She loved going to bingo with family and friends and loved her gardens. Planted flowers in every spot available! But Mom’s biggest joy and ultimate love was her family. She would host a family dinner for any occasion she could think of. The more dinners the better! She spent her retirement years with her loving husband Robert, travelling and spending as much time as possible with their grandchildren. They brought her so much joy.
She was an angel who lived among us and now has returned to the God above.
We will miss you dearly mom, your love and memories will be forever alive in our hearts.
The family would like to thank the staff at Concordia Hospital for all their care and kindness.
As per her wishes, cremation has taken place, and a family gathering will be held at a later date.
