She is also survived by her sisters, Annette, Florence (Joe Letain), Suzanne (Eugene Delaurier), Adele (Ken Babcock) and Diane (Lucien Arpin) and her brothers, Denis (Annette), Gabriel (Margaret), August (Louise), Lionel (Huguette), Andre (Sandra), Gerald (Carol), Raymond (Velma), Roland (Julie), Robert (Carol) and Claude (Gwen) brother-in-law Frank Delannoy; and sister-in-law Delores Gobeil; as well her sisters-in-law, Jessie Zapotochny, Mary (Les Beames), Stella Shmyr and Julie Dobush; brothers-in-law, Bill (Dorothy), John (Dolly), Edward (Irene) and Bob (Dorothy) as well as numerous other loving relatives and friends.

She was raised in the southeastern Manitoba community of South Junction. The school she attended comprised primarily of her family members and cousins down the road. On leaving home, she moved to Winnipeg and worked at the St. Boniface Hospital for a number of years. It was at this time that she met Walter; they married in 1960 and then settled down in Prawda to raise their family. In 1966, they moved to Winnipeg where she and Walter remained until retirement, when they chose to return to Prawda, a place they both enjoyed to call home. Her greatest joys were found surrounding her family. She was a devoted wife to Walter and took great joy in providing for those around her. This "French" lady quickly came to learn how to cook the "Ukrainian" cuisine at a young age and took great pride in preparing delicious foods for family and friends who came to visit. She enjoyed gardening, knitting, crocheting and various crafts. We are so fortunate to have many treasures made by her to cherish in her memory. We will miss you Mom. We know that you will always be a very special "ange" watching over us. We would like to express sincere appreciation to Dr. Paul Daeninck and the special people at CancerCare Manitoba, to Dr. Crowe, Diana Cook and staff at Riverview Health Centre, Dr. Marsh, and her nurse, Linda, who cared for her while she was at home. A very special thanks to family and friends for their support and love to mom and her family during this difficult time. Cremation has taken place. The funeral mass will be officiated by Father Marcel Toupin, at Reynolds Community Hall, in Prawda, MB, on Wednesday, December 18 at 11:00 a.m. Interment will follow at St. Marys Cemetery.
