JEAN GLUCK (LUPUL) (MAMA) Suddenly at home on August 16, 2004, Jean Gluck, widow of the late Edward Gluck passed away at the age of 77 years. Jean was born in Kirkness, MB, the youngest of nine children. She spent her childhood in the Kirkness area and in 1948 she married Edward Gluck and they continued to reside on Ashfield Road until 1997 when they moved to Selkirk. She is survived by her son Edwin (Cheryl) and grandchildren, Trevor, Nancy, Krista (Terrance), Jason and Regan; great-grandchildren, Kris and Grace. She is also survived by her eldest sister Lucy Polenski, as well as nieces, nephews and numerous friends. Jean was predeceased by her parents, Anna and Onufry Lupul; her husband of 51 years Edward, in 1999; and her brothers, Peter, Victor, Bill and John; and sisters, Mabel, Mary and Dora. Jean took special pleasure in the simple things of life, her family, her many friends, and especially the time spent with her sister Lucy, who lived close by. Jean loved company and her television shows but also enjoyed puzzle books and her amusing collection of "cows" and animated toys. She was never at a loss for words and her terrific sense of humour and joie de vivre will always be missed by all whose hearts she touched. Funeral services will be held on Thursday, August 19 at 10:30 a.m. at Gilbart Funeral Chapel, with viewing one hour prior to the service. Interment will follow at Ashfield Cemetery. Pallbearers will be Trevor Gluck, Darryll Champagne, Jim Lupul, David Starin, Craig Gluck and Fred Doern. Thank you but no flowers. If friends so desire, donations in Jeans memory may be made to the Selkirk Palliative Care Centre, PO Box 5000, Selkirk, MB R1A 2M2. Gilbart Funeral Home, Selkirk in care of arrangements.
