JADWIGA (JUDY) THERESA LINSCER (nee PIETRZAK) March 20, 1950 to December 4, 2015 Peacefully, in the early hours of December 4, our mother and Babcia Judy passed away after a brief but courageous battle with cancer. She left us far too soon, but through a lifetime of love and memories she will never be forgotten. Left to mourn her loss but celebrate her life are her daughters Joanna (Michael) and Christine (Chris). Judy was fiercely proud of her daughters and all that they accomplished in life and would tell anybody just how wonderful her girls were. The true lights of Judy's life were her three treasured grandchildren Olivia, Cameron, and Casey. From the first time she held a grandchild to the very last family party a few short weeks ago, Judy was the greatest Babcia a child could ask for. Whether it was a trip to the zoo, a visit to the museum, a lunch to share, or a quick trip to the playground, Babcia was ready to go. There were never enough movies to see or treats to buy - time spent with them was what she lived for. Judy was sadly predeceased by her husband Terry, stepdaughter Karen, and her parents. Judy was born on March 20, 1950 in Pabianice. After a memorable childhood in Poland, she moved with her family to Winnipeg in 1962, settling with many other Polish families in the North End. After graduating from high school Judy stayed in Winnipeg, eventually meeting and marrying Terry and raising their family here. Judy loved life at home with her many pets, instilling a strong independence in Joanna and Christine, passing on a love of entertaining and cooking, and making time for many camping trips with her girls and their friends. After losing Terry, Judy split her time between her daughters and their families and her work at CanadInns. Judy worked at Garbonzo's for 20 years, running the day shift with a firm hand and putting the needs of her customers above all else. Joe, Fiona, Mark, and many others at the restaurant were not just coworkers, they were family to her and she cared a great deal for them. She also had many regular customers she knew by name that never had to order when they got to the restaurant as Judy knew just what they wanted. We are so grateful for the visits to see Judy over the last few months from all the people she knew from the restaurant, her customers, family, and friends. In her last weeks she was finally able to see what a life of looking after other people had brought her - love and respect from all. We would like to thank her neighbours Gerry and Linda and friend Judy for their care and time while Mom was at Riverview. We would also like to thank the wonderful and caring staff at the E3 Ward of Riverview Health Centre, especially Theresa, Caroline, and Jimmy (U of M), for helping all of us through the last few months. In accordance with Judy's wishes there will not be a formal memorial, and in lieu of flowers please make a donation to the Humane Society of Winnipeg, CancerCare Manitoba, or a charity of your choice. www.seasonsfunerals.ca

I worked with Judy at Garbonzos for a number of years, many years ago now. She was a wonderful person to work with, absolutely capable and served each and every table with respect. On break she would often talk to me about being a Grandmother which was a relationship that she loved. Watching the expression on her face change, and the laughter creep into her voice I knew she loved every moment of being a mother and grandmother. I have yet to try the perogy trick she taught me years ago but when I do you can bet I will give credit where it is due. - Posted by: Kara Neustaedter (former co-worker) on: Dec 14, 2015

We missed her presence these past months of her absence. Yes, she knew her customers well and would not need to be told what you wanted to eat! Loving sympathy to you all. - Posted by: John G, John D, Abe P, and Vern E(deceased) (years of weekly breakfast patrons) on: Dec 09, 2015

Judy was one of a kind. Devoted friend, mother and wife. I remember so clearly when Judy met Terry and how much they loved each other and together how much they loved and cherished their daughters. They both loved cooking and entertaining and their home was always very welcoming to all their friends. Judy you were surely loved dearly by the Ewaschuk family, you were family to us. You will be missed. - Posted by: Judy Ewaschuk (Friend) on: Dec 07, 2015

Just a short note to let Judy's family know I'm sincerely sorry to have learned of her passing, I was her bus driver on route 95 for a few months last year and she was ALWAYS kind and generous, it's rare to have a passenger as pleasant as she was....she'd occasionally give me treats and to top it off, on the last week of my shift, Judy with another passenger gave me a 25$ second cup coffee card for Christmas! May peace be with you and god rest her soul. - Posted by: Matt Jones () on: Dec 06, 2015

Judy I remember you. I remember going to your home to visit with you and Mary when we were teenagers. I remember all of us hanging out with the army boys I remember your first job at the pharmacy at Selkirk and Arlington. I remember all of us thinking you had the best job. I remember the counter restaurant at the back where I had a milkshake. I remember you giving me discounts. I remember you meeting Terry. I remember your wedding reception on Qu'Appelle and how much fun it was. I remember your baby shower after Joanna was born. I remember your advice on how to stay slim after the pregnancy, ... wear are really, really tight girdle (The Spanx of yesteryear), it seemed to work for you. I remember visiting you at the duplex (I forget where it was, EK?) when Joanna was small. I remember the story about the baby walker that went down the stairs (those suckers are banned now.) I remember visiting you after the love of your life Terry passed away. I went to visit (unannounced) and you wouldn't answer the door. I came a second time and this time you answered the door and let me in. (I can't recall if I called ahead, maybe I did?) I didn't know what to say to make you feel better, but thought a bath pillow as a gift and some bath stuff would help you relax and make you feel better. You don't know how much thought I gave as to what to bring you. I didn't know what would make you feel better. I remember Macho the cat, drinking from the aquarium. I wondered why you wouldn't shoo him away from the tank? I thought he'd go for the fish and scoop them out, but he didn't. I remember us going to that pub on Pembina for a beer, the Green Briar inn? I think? And then, life got in the way for everyone. Commitments, children, problems to deal with, life to deal with and we lost touch. I'm glad I saw you at your mom's funeral reception at the house. I remember the tight hug you gave me. That's my last memory of you. I won't forget that hug. - Posted by: Diana Groves (Old friend ) on: Dec 06, 2015
