Wojcik's Funeral Chapel - Roy Wood Funeral Arrangements

 

 

ROY WOOD

June 27, 1920 - July 3, 2013

            After a full life and brief illness, Roy passed away with his daughter Pamela at his side on Wednesday, July 3, 2013 at the age of 93 years.      

            Roy Wood, scholar, soldier, husband, father, grandfather, great-grandfather, gentleman, was one smart fella.  Born Christian Leroy Wood at Calgary, AB to George and Alice Wood, he did well throughout his school years.  His plan to consider a career in pharmacy was interrupted by the Nazis.  Roy volunteered and served overseas in the Canadian Army for the full duration of WWII.  He was accomplished with the rifle, attaining Dominion Marksman status.  He was asked to volunteer as a sniper but ended up in the Canadian Postal Corps, ensuring the boys at the front got their news from home.  Like many a young red-blooded Canadian soldier, Roy came home with an English war-bride.  He and his beloved Joan never parted company until her death June 4, 2010.  Upon return from the war, Roy was offered family farm land west of Crossfield, AB but, having lived through the depression of the 1930's, he declined, believing his petite big-city bride would find the life too harsh.  He needed employment and decided to forego further education and took an agricultural position in Calgary, AB with the federal government.  Roy eventually rose to Deputy Director – Operations, Weighing Division Agriculture Canada in Winnipeg, MB.  He retired in 1977. He and Joan travelled back to England several times, but could not see their old haunts, as most had been demolished by V2 rockets, one of which nearly ended the marriage before it had hardly begun.

            Left to cherish Roy’s memory are his sister Joyce (Robert) Kerr; daughter Pamela (Maurice) Blackburn; son-in-law Jack Cronkhite; grandchildren  Christel Cronkhite,  Charlene Cronkhite, Karen (Curtis) Windatt and Terri (Fabian) Doerksen and of course his great-grandson Jace  Windatt, whom he loved dearly.  He was predeceased by his parents; wife Joan; and daughters, Jocelyn (in infancy) and Kay Cronkhite (2012).  Also, several Alberta families and their descendants continued to be an important part of Roy’s life.  The Kerrs were especially close and he was the best uncle he could be for Marilyn, Linda and John.  Other close families included the Farqhuarsons, the Aaskows, the Dahls, the Havens, the Retis, and the Crawfords.  Roy was always interested in watching the progression into adulthood of all the children.  He was a great story-teller and kept the family past alive for each new generation, while doing his best to ensure the sacrifices of the soldiers of WWII were not forgotten.  To listen to him was to learn.

            At Roy's request, a simple family Graveside Service was held in the St. James Cemetery, Winnipeg, MB where he was laid to rest beside Joan. The casket was “christened” with his favourite Scotch prior to burial.

            Donations in Roy’s name made to CNIB or the Royal Canadian Legion are welcomed.

            The family shares the sentiment from Roy’s niece Marilyn:

“I always had a profound respect for the gentleman he always was.  

May he rest in peace for eternity and live forever in our fondest memories, of a life well lived.”

            We all shall miss him; however, those with whom he is now re-united are surely happy to see him again.

(nee MESTDAGH)

            It is with deep regret that we announce the passing of Georgette Helaine Einarson, on Tuesday, July 2, 2013, at her home, in Winnipeg, Manitoba at the age of 73 years.

            Left to forever cherish Georgette’s memory are her daughter Suzette; son-in-law Adam; and grandchildren, Caitlin, Daniel and Bryann. She was predeceased by her husband Wallace; daughter Michelle June McKibbin; and son Les Patrick McKibbin.

            On June 30, 1940 Georgette was born in Somerset, Manitoba to Alice and George Mestdagh. She graduated from the St. Boniface School of Nursing in 1978 and worked at the St. Boniface Hospital for over 12 years.

Upon retirement in 1998 they returned to Manitoba to live in Holland, Manitoba until 2002 at which time they moved to Gimli.

            Georgette loved nature, fishing at Barrier Bay in the Whiteshell, bird-watching, gardening…and of course berry picking! She truly enjoyed being outdoors and is no doubt one of the few people in palliative care to cultivate a dark tan!

            Thanks to the wonderful staff of at St. Boniface Hospital, especially Agnes, and the fantastic caring staff of the 8^th floor palliative care unit. Thank you to the staff of the Grace Hospice for making my mom feel loved and at home. Thanks also to all family and friends that were so supportive through this difficult time-she treasured your letters, cards and visits. Special thanks to Claudette for your friendship and especially your humour. Mom was so grateful to have you in her life.

            In compliance with Georgette’s wishes there will be no Funeral Service.

            In lieu of flowers or charitable contributions-please celebrate life by doing one of the following:  Have lunch and a good laugh with an old friend, sit outside and take time to truly enjoy nature, hug someone dear and let them know you love them.

“Work like you don't need the money, love like you've never been hurt and dance like no one is watching. In the end, it's not going to matter how many breaths you took, but how many moments took your breath away!”

MARY FETTERLY

(nee Kornik)

            Mary Kornik entered this life on January 7, 1924, on Ukrainian Christmas, and peacefully, on Saturday, June 29, 2013 left us to meet her Lord and Saviour. 

            She will be sorely missed by her seven children Gordon, Harvey (Janet), June Giesbrecht (Ken), Grace  Nelson (Roger), Lois Kowalski (Gerald), Elden (Sarah), and, Joy Kulik (Jan); 14 grandchildren:   Jason, Alan (Orysa); Trevor Wiebe, Roy (Tammy), Mary Grace, Chelsea Nelson, Diana Phelan (Greg), Tina , Erik Kowalski, Steven, Melanie, Joel (Tamara), Janina, and Julie Kulik; five great- grandchildren Daniel, Peter Nelson, Kadin Phelan, Maelle, Esme Kulik; sister, Nellie Smud; twin brothers, Mike and Walter (Ann) Kornik; and many family and friends.  Mary was predeceased by Carl Fetterly; parents Safron and Caroline Kornik (nee Kutcher); daughter Agnes; brother Mel; sister Olga Pasternak (Mike) and Paul Smud; and son – in – law Larry Wiebe.

            Mary overcame a lot of challenges in her life, the first when she started school having to learn English as a second language.  As the eldest, she had to leave home at 14 years of age to help support her family.  Then when raising her own family, her dream of becoming a Registered Nurse required that she pass each year of schooling starting at Grade 9 and achieving her High School Diploma before she could be enrolled at Red River College.   Mary graduated with her Nursing Diploma in 1975 at the age of 51.  Her nursing career for the Federal Government took her to many locations and as far north as Oxford House, Manitoba.  

            While struggling to provide for her family, Mary became the first woman in Manitoba and the fourth woman in Canada to be awarded independent Property Rights.  She worked with the Status of Women for the 50/50 Financial Support Rule.  

            Always active in church, school, and community affairs, Mary taught by example many life skills.  She modeled generosity, integrity, honesty, dedication, perseverance, and hard work.  She loved to learn and encouraged others to pursue their dreams. 

            On Wednesday, July 3, 2013 Mary’s Funeral Service will be held at 1:30 p.m. in the Headingley Community Center, 5353 Portage Avenue, Headingley. For those who wish, viewing will be held prior to the service. Interment will follow in Holy Trinity Anglican Cemetery, Bresaylor Road, Headingley. 

            The family would like to extend their heartfelt thanks to all the homecare, first responders and healthcare professionals who provided her with love and care.

            In lieu of flowers, open up to someone in need. 

            Matthew 25:35-36 (NIV) "For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me."

RICH WIESER

September 12, 1968 - June 26, 2013

            It is with great sadness and love, that we announce the passing of our beloved Rich, after a hard fought battle with cancer. 

            Left to cherish Rich’s memory are his wife Tasha; their two boys, Lochlan and Conrad; mother Kay; father Fred; sister Pam (Dwayne) (Travus and Courtney); Baba Frances Ewacha; mother-in-law Katie; as well as many aunts; uncles and extended family. He was dearly loved by all who knew him.        

            Rich had a way of turning the most harmless comment into the most groan-worthy pun imaginable.  This talent was at the same time impressive and exasperating. At least he was able to amuse himself. He lived his short life to the fullest. Rich worked hard and played harder. He enjoyed golfing, hunting, woodworking and camping. But, football was everything!  His passion for the game is pretty much imprinted on everything; his truck, golf cart, clothes, and his friends.  Rich started his life in Port Arthur, Ontario. This path then leads him to Boeing Canada in Winnipeg, where he worked for 15 years.

            On Wednesday, July 3, 2013 Rich’s Funeral Service will be held at 10:30 a.m. in Westwood Community Church, 401 Westwood Drive, Winnipeg, MB.

            A special thank-you to all who cared for Rich; Grace Cancer Care, Cartier Area Home Care nurses and the Regional Palliative nurses.  As well, a special thank-you to all of Rich’s “Brothers”, Tony, Ian, Ray, Ben, Denis, Gordo, Bruce, John, and Ric, for taking care of him and his family.  We will always and forever be so grateful.

            In lieu of flowers, you are invited to make a donation in memory of Rich to the charity of choice.

1913 – 2013

            Cora died peacefully in her home at River Park Gardens, St. Vital, June 21, 2013, 12 days short of her 100th birthday.

            Predeceased by husband "Bunt" in 1989, she leaves son Brian Masson and wife Theresa in Los Angeles, and daughter Audrey Reineking and husband Rich in Chicago, as well as five grandchildren and seven great-grandchildren.

She returned to nursing during times of stress, notably the polio epidemic of the 1950s. Her children grown, she followed Bunt, a government agriculturist, to other postings including Ottawa. Following Bunt's retirement they settled again in Winnipeg, where she spent her final years. Throughout her life, Cora was an enthusiastic wife, mother and grandmother. A proficient seamstress, she enjoyed sewing for her grandchildren, a skill she passed to daughter Audrey.

            Our family is especially grateful to Cora's niece, our cousin Rae Campbell and husband Tom who served as another son and daughter, here in Winnipeg, bringing peace, comfort and joy to her final years.    

            In accordance with her wishes, her ashes will be scattered on the family farm at Morden.
