ANNE JESSE TERLESKI We the family of Anne Terleski announce the passing of our mother, baba, and friend and rejoice in knowing she is in the comforting arms of her Heavenly Father, on April 1, 2001, at Riverview Health Centre. She was predeceased by her husband Mike, father William, mother Mary and brother William. She will be lovingly remembered and sadly missed by her two sons, Milf (Carol) and Dennis (Judy) and her four daughters, Marianne, Gloria (Tim), Debbie (Rod), Janice (Danny). Fourteen grandchildren, Angie (Ken), Chris, Cheryl, David, Brent, Bradley, Shelley (Mike), Scott, Jessica, Jacque, Spencer, Janel, Danielle, and Dylan. Two great-grandchildren, Ataya and Shaela. She is survived by her loving sister-in-law Noreen (William) Drozda; and numerous nieces and nephews. Anne was born on December 15, 1928 in Winnipeg. She was raised in Winnipegs North End. Her parents had immigrated to Winnipeg from the Ukraine, therefore Anne was raised speaking only Ukrainian until learning English in school. Anne was married to Mike for 51 years before his untimely death. Anne was the foundation of our family ensuring tradition, heritage and family unity. Annes main focus in life was her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Her face always shone with pride and joy as she watched them play. In 72 years of faithful service, Anne came to accept Jesus Christ, which allowed her a peaceful and graceful death. Her strength, spirit, humour, and compassion will be forever with us. The family would like to thank Home Care workers, Kitty, Sandy and Leona for their compassionate care, and Riverview Health Centre for their efficient and caring services. A special thanks to Dr. Peter Arnott for his personal care. A Celebration of Annes Life will take place at Stonewall United Church, 369 1st Ave. N., 1:00 p.m. on Friday, April 6. A luncheon will follow at the 55+ Club, 5 Keith Cosens Dr., Stonewall. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the building fund of The New Life Baptist Church, P.O. Box 22, Stonewall, MB R0C 2Z0. Psalms 119:105 Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path. Arrangements entrusted to Cropo Funeral Chapel, 586-8044.
