Mom was born in Poland April 8, 1921. She immigrated to Canada in 1954, settling in McKenzie Island, ON. After Dad's passing, Mom moved to a senior's complex in Red Lake, ON. Later when she required personal care Mom moved to the Arborg Personal Care Home and then to the Fisher Branch Personal Care Home in 1999 so she could be near her family. Before emigrating from Germany Mom was a seamstress by trade. She was known for her excellent cooking and preserves, as well as her love for gardening which were mainly flowers. She especially was fond of horses. The family wishes to express their gratitude for the care given by the staff of the Personal Care Homes in Fisher Branch and Arborg; the doctors and nurses of the Percy Moore Hospital in Hodgson; Sister Agnes; the Penner family for their visits and picking Mom up for their Widows' Supper; Karl Hofer of Marble Ridge Colony for his wonderful carpentry.
