Send Flowers to the Family Offer Condolences or MemoryMAY SOWA (WITYSHYN) Peacefully, on October 13, 2004, after a long struggle with Alzheimers Disease, May Sowa passed away. May is survived by her children, Sharon (Bill) and Raymond; grandchildren, Michael (Melissa), Kristine, Barbara and Jamie; sister Ann (Nick) brothers, John (Olga), Steve (Eva), Stanley (Ruth) and sister-in-law Pearl. May was predeceased by her husband Michael (1965) and brother Bill (2003). Mom was hard worker who loved her family and greatly enjoyed the time she spent with her grandchildren. Her passion was hairdressing, which she chose as a profession after Michael died while raising two children on her own. Once formally retiring from Beauty Makers Hair Salon, Mom continued to "do" hair at home providing not only a haircut but also a cup of tea and piece of cake for each client. Thank you to the staff at Tudor House Nursing Home in Selkirk for their care and consideration. Funeral service will be held on Monday, October 18 at 10:00 a.m. at Cropo Funeral Chapel, 1442 Main St. with Debbie Coss officiating. Interment will follow in Brookside Cemetery.

I am saddened by the loss of May. I don't know for sure if I am related to May, but I remember Stanley from many years ago. I was only 14 when I visited the farm in Winnipeg. My mother was Marie Annick Rego, and her sister was Jean Annick. I live in Florida now, and myself, my age is 82. If you think we are related please call me at 850-830-4773. Thank you, and sorry for your loss. - Posted by: Joan Rego Graham (Cousin) on: Jun 05, 2018
