PATRICIA MAY JENKINS
(nee BEAMISH - BARNES)


            It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Pat. She ended her journey with cancer on Sunday, June 16, 2013.
            Pat leaves to mourn her husband Raymond; daughter Donna (Jeff); Ray's children, Susan (Mona), Ross; sisters Bonnie and Marion; numerous nieces and nephews, Brian, Neil (Maggie) Barnes and many friends from along the way. She was predeceased by her mother Jackie; father Donald; father in law Ernest Barnes and mother in law Olive Barnes.
            On June 3, 1948 Pat was born to Jacqueline Harrison and Donald Beamish. She met and married Brian in the 60's and they had one daughter Donna. Pat worked retail for most of her career and made many friends along the way.
            In the late 90's Pat met Ray and they were married in May 1998. They spent many summers out at Star Lake, took winter holidays, road trips to Calgary to see Susan, and shopping trips to US.
            Pat had an incredible sense of humor. If you knew her, you laughed with her.  She was warm, caring and loved her family. She made awesome perogies, terrific lemon meringue pie, and amazing butter tarts. Pat always put extra raisins in her butter tarts. This was for Ray's enjoyment and to Donna's dismay. She loved her dogs and it pained her when she was no longer able to walk “Walker". Pat and Donna walked the dogs many, many miles over the years around the neighborhood and out at the lake. These long walks will be greatly missed. Golden Retrievers were always her favorite and we know all of them were there to greet her in heaven. Give Amber, J.C., Brandy and Captain Morgan a big hug from all of us.
            On Thursday, June 20, 2013 Pat’s Funeral Service will be held at 2:00 p.m. in the Victoria Inn Hotel, 1808 Wellington Avenue. A private Interment has been held in Brookside Cemetery, 3001 Notre Dame Avenue.
            A huge thank you is extended to Dr. Pat Harris, Dr. Joel Gingerich, Dr. Wong, the awesome teams at Grace Cancer Care, St. Boniface Pain and Symptom Clinic, and Riverview Health Centre.  We met many, many, awesome, caring and compassionate people along the way.
            Donations in Pat's memory may be made to the Winnipeg Humane Society or any animal shelter of one's choice; because of her love for animals
            Wojcik’s Funeral Home & Crematorium,  2157 Portage Avenue, Winnipeg, wojciksfuneralchapel.com, 204 – 897 - 4665.

This isn't the journey we would have chosen for you but we're glad we could be there for you as you walked this path.  For the way this ended.... F. S. D.

CORA BERNADINE MASSON

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.
            Cora was born on the Peterson family farm near Morden, where she spent her formative years. After graduating as a registered nurse, she served in Winnipeg hospitals before marrying and raising her family in Fort Garry. 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.

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.

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."

GEORGETTE EINARSON
(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. In 1990 she moved to Dawson Creek, B.C. where she met Wallace Einarson and married in 1992. 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 8th 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!”

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.

DARAH RENEE JOSEPH
May 4, 1999 – August 18, 2013

It is with deepest sorrow that we announce the passing of our dearest sweet Darah after a 2 year long courageous battle with Ewing’s Sarcoma. Darah’s story of her quiet yet fiercely valiant fight with cancer touched many hearts around the world.  She will be greatly missed but never forgotten.
Left to cherish Darah’s memory are her Mom Dana Hoffman (Brad Wood); Dad Dennis Joseph (Amalia Albanito); Sister Haley Joseph;  Great-Grandma Jean Belluk; Grandma Jan Hoffman; Papa Ron Hoffman; Grandma Rolande Joseph; Step-Sisters Marlee Wood and Samantha Wood; Step-Brothers Aaron Albanito and Charlie Wood;  numerous aunt;, uncles; cousins and friends.
Darah grew up in Lac du Bonnet and eventually moved to Selkirk and then finally to Beausejour, making many friends along the way through school and sports.  She had a love for sewing, baking and crafts. She loved her special doggies and always had them by her side to comfort her during her tough times. Darah’s passion for fishing was evident by her many angling accomplishments, most of them achieved during her battle with cancer. She recently received a special award for multiple Master Angler species in Manitoba waters.
Prior to her diagnosis, Darah was an elite athlete competing in many sports. She played ringette and soccer since the early age of 3 years old and most recently, she belonged to the Manitoba Maple Leafs AAA Hockey, Selkirk Steelers Hockey, Royals Club Volleyball, and competed in the Hershey Provincial Track and Field qualifiers.  Her ability to play competitive sports came to an abrupt halt when she broke her leg running in a 100 m sprint qualifier in June of 2011. This broken leg led us to her cancer diagnosis, multiple treatments of chemotherapy, radiation and a rare rotationplasty amputation surgery to preserve function with hopes of playing sports again one day. 
This past May, Darah was asked to try out for the Canadian National Sitting Volleyball Team in Edmonton.  She trained hard several times a week with aspirations of making it to Rio for the 2016 Paralympics. Just days short of her try-out, Darah was stricken with a fourth relapse of cancer.  She was determined to fight until the very end with her Never Ever Give Up (NEGU) attitude.  Even with no cure available, Darah remained determined to try some of the newer treatments that were available at the MD Anderson Cancer Centre in Houston, TX.  Only weeks before her death, her and her family drove to Texas to seek this treatment.  Unfortunately, the cancer became far more aggressive than the drugs that were used to treat it. It was Darah’s last self-less wish to have her tumors harvested and sent to the Children’s Oncology Group for research purposes to help find a cure for this rare childhood and young adult cancer.
We would like to give special thanks to Darah’s Pediatric Oncologist, Dr. Geoff Cuvelier, Nurses Michelle Morton and Cathy Bourne, Child Life Specialist Dawn Kidder, Dr. Ken Brown of Vancouver Children’s Hospital, Dan, Doug and Becky of the Rehabilitation Centre for Children, the Pain and Symptom Management Team and the rest of the staff at Children’s Hospital CK5 Ward and Cancer Care Manitoba for the limitless support, care and comfort over the past two years. We would also like to thank the Children’s Wish Foundation, Hockey Manitoba and VL Ranch Children’s Ride for Wishes for allowing Darah’s dream to come true. She was granted her wish to Hawaii in February 2013 during her last brief stretch of good health.
A private family Interment has taken place. A public come-and-go Celebration of Life will take place in the Brokenhead River Community Hall at 320 Veterans Lane in Beausejour, MB on Friday, September 6, 2013 from 6:30-9:30 pm.  All are welcome to pay their respects. 
In Lieu of flowers or gifts, please help find a cure and donate in Darah’s name to the Ewing’s Cancer Foundation of Canada 72 Rockport Crescent Richmond Hill, ON L4C 2L8
