RUTH (SAMMY) MARSCH
(nee
GRABOWSKI)
1930 - 2014
After a four year
struggle with progressive supra nuclear palsy, Ruth passed peacefully with her
daughter by her side on Friday, March 21, 2014.
Remaining to forever
cherish Sammy’s memory are daughter Connie (Ken) McConnell
and grandsons Scott and Bryan; sons Ross (Wendy) and step-grandaughter Kerry,
Glen, Chris and Wade; as well as numerous nieces; nephews; relatives and
friends. She was
predeceased by her husband Harold in 2009; as well as her five sisters; Myrtle
Pitura, Lillian Fraese, Esther Volrath, Ella Picken and Elsie Steinke.
Sammy was born in
Winnipeg September 18, 1930 and grew up on the family farm in Brunkild. After her marriage to Harold they lived in
Winnipeg where they raised their children.
Family and friends were important to Sammy. She loved to entertain whether it be
celebrating birthdays, playing cards, back yard picnics or "just because". Food and good times were never in short
supply. When not looking after family
she loved to devote time to her hobbies.
Flower gardening was her passion, as well as sewing, embroidery and
quilting.
Throughout Sammy’s life she enjoyed journaling, reading, bowling and
sports. In her later years she
and Harold took great pleasure in their Birthday Club get-togethers as well as
their Polka Party shenanigans.
Sammy will be greatly
missed by everyone who knew her. With her passing a new generation will carry
on where she left off.
On Saturday,
March 29, 2014 Sammy's Funeral Service will be held at 2:00 p.m. in St. Paul's
Lutheran Church; Brunkild, Manitoba with Pastor Barry Bence,
presider.
A special thank you
to Linda for all her home support for Mom, Wade and Glen, and to Cynthia for
doing the little extras, and to all the family and friends that took the time
to brighten Mom's day. We gratefully
acknowledge the extra help from Glen and
the exceptional care Wade provided for Mom.
She could not have stayed in her home without you. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
