JANET
PATRICIA ROSSNAGEL
(nee
HOLOWATY)
September
16, 1948 – November 7, 2014
On Friday, November 7, 2014, Janet
passed away peacefully at St. Boniface General Hospital, with family by her
side, at the age of 66 years. She went to rest after a short, but difficult
battle with cancer. Beloved wife, mother, grandmother, sister, aunt and friend,
she will be sadly missed by all.
Left to forever remember Janet are her
husband of 43 years, Fred; sons Jeff (Maria) and Kevin; grandchildren Duncan
and Stella; brother Andy (Doreen) Hollowaty and children Alana and Andrew;
brother James (Cindy) Holowaty and daughter Zenon; as well as her sister
Jocelyn Holowaty. She was predeceased by her parents Peter and Stephanie
Holowaty.
Janet was born on September 16, 1948.
She was the oldest child of four children who along with her two brothers and
sister grew up in Garden City attending High School and working in her father’s
pharmacy. Janet continued her education at the University of Winnipeg and on
June 19, 1971, she married her high school sweetheart, Fred Rossnagel. Together
they raised two sons, Jeff and Kevin. Over the years, she held different jobs
outside the home with Winnipeg Child and Family Service and with the Manitoba
Department of Justice, but family is where Janet’s heart was. She especially
enjoyed spending time with her grandchildren and could play with them for
hours. She loved holidays and special occasions and never missed a birthday or
anniversary. Christmas was always her favorite, dinner with all the trimmings
and family at her side. She also enjoyed gardening; travel, and lunch with the
“girls” from work.
In accordance with Janet’s wishes, no
formal Funeral Service will be held. A private family Interment will be held in
Elmwood Cemetery.
The family would like to thank the
palliative care team that provided support to Janet and allowed her to stay
comfortable at home through most of her illness. A special thanks to those
whose thoughts, prayers and visits comforted Janet in her final days.
In
lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Janet’s memory to the Sandra
Schmirler Foundation, 1660 Vimont
Court, Orleans, ON K4A 4J4, or CancerCare
Manitoba, 675 McDermot Avenue, Winnipeg, MB R3E 0V9; two charities that touched
her life.
