PEARL
ANTONIA KOVACS
(nee
LEMM)
Peacefully, with her family at her
side, our beloved Pearl Antonia Kovacs died, June 7, 2013 at the age of 87
years.
Pearl leaves behind her husband of
67 years, Peter; daughter Diana (Ron) Stephenson; sons Greg g
(Shelagh) and Lee (Suzanne); grandchildren Christian (Julie) Stephenson,
Heather (Luka Jambrosic ) Kovacs,
Jill Kovacs, Benjamin and Sasha Kovacs; great-grandsons Ethan Stephenson,
Elijah Jambrosic ; nieces and
nephews: Marty Mager, Cathy Babbitt, Carolyn
Clements and Alan Lemm. She was predeceased by her parents Theodorus and Martha
Lemm (nee Henschel); and her four siblings, Stephan, Dora, Ted and Jack.
On March 28, 1926 Pearl was born in
Saskatoon, SK but resided most of her life in Manitoba. She was a selfless woman. If anyone needed a
helping hand, she was there to help in any capacity required. Pearl loved
sewing and her abilities spanned making wedding dresses to repairing the family
tent. She was a fabulous cook and family
dinners were special for all. Pearl was
innovative, especially in household maintenance. She was an outstanding gardener.
Pearl
enjoyed music and dancing. Many years
were spent accompanying Peter to his band engagements. She also enjoyed playing cards, fishing and
boating. In their retirement, she and
Peter spent several winters in Arizona and Texas with many long-time friends.
Pearl loved her family above all. She is
already sorely missed and will remain in our hearts forever.
A private family service will be held
at a later date.
In lieu of flowers a donation may be sent to
the Heart and Stroke Foundation Manitoba or to the charity of your choice.

I’m Free
Don’t grieve for me,
for now I’m free
I’m following the
path God laid for me
I took His hand when
I heard Him call
I turned my back and
left it all
I could not stay
another day
To laugh, to love, to
work or play,
Tasks left undone
must stay that way,
I found that place at
the close of day.
If my parting has
left a void
Then fill it with
remembered joy.
A friendship shared,
a laugh, a kiss,
Ah yes, these things,
I too will miss.
Be not burdened with
times of sorrow
I wish you the
sunshine of tomorrow.
My life’s been full.
I savoured much,
Good friends, good
times, a loved one’s touch.
Perhaps my time
seemed too brief.
Don’t lengthen it now
with undue grief
Lift up your heart
and share with me
God wanted me now, He
set me free.
