Kathleen was born in Mink Creek, MB on January 1, 1910. She married Joseph Wolanik in Winnipeg in 1926 and lived in various communities in Manitoba before settling in Oak Bluff where she worked at the Wayfare Restaurant for many years. She has been a resident of Winnipeg since 1977. Left to cherish her memory are two daughters, Helen Beeston (Fred) of Winnipeg and Carole Fleming (Joe) of Calgary; her brother Paul Sawry of Winnipeg and sisters, Rose MacKenzie of Oakville, ON and Stella Chmilar of Sudbury, ON.

Kathleen was predeceased in 1980 by her husband of 56 years Joseph; six sisters and three brothers. In accordance with Kathleens wishes, cremation has taken place and there will be no formal service at this time. A memorial service will be held at a later date. Flowers are gratefully declined. If family or friends would care to make a donation in Kathleens memory to the Heart and Stroke Foundation, 301-352 Donald St., Winnipeg, MB R3B 2H8. The family would like to acknowledge the kindness and support received from the staff of Pembina Place Mennonite PCH and family and friends. Dear Mom, Your faith in God and your good source of common sense enabled you to meet and master every day life with determination. You were beyond question a perfect wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, sister, auntie, neighbour and employee. You made important contributions while on this planet. Your greatest gift to us was your ability to love unconditionally, with all your being. Thank you for all you did for us. We love you with all our hearts and will deeply miss your soft touch and beautiful sweet smile of love. Dear Lord, we place her in your hands and may God grant her eternal rest, Dear Mother. Peacefully with Jesus Christ. Our love always, Helen and Carole. Gilbart Funeral Home, Selkirk in care of arrangements.
