JEAN NIECKARZ It is with deep sadness that the family announces the passing of Jean Nieckarz on June 6, 2004. Jean was born on September 9, 1920 in Frazerwood, MB. On June 22, 1940, she married Ben Nieckarz and moved with him to the Hazelridge area, where they resided happily until 1989. Jean was predeceased by her daughters, Rose in 1956, Patricia in 1964; and husband Ben in 1999. Mourning Jeans passing are her children, Joyce of Rockland, ON, Edward (Jean) of Surrey, BC, Thaddeus, Joseph (Judie), Frances (Lawrie Goalen), Mary of Calgary, AB, Victor (Cheryl), Angela, and Teresa (Peter Stobbe) of Edmonton, AB.

Her time with the Hazelridge Catering ladies left Jean with many happy memories and lasting friendships. Her joy of gardening was second only to the joy of nurturing her eleven children. Several awards from the Springfield Agricultural Fair culminated in a three-peat of the aggregate award for her gardening accomplishments. The family would like to express their heartfelt thanks to the dedicated staff of Rose Unit at East Gate Lodge for the wonderful care Jean received.
