EVELYN LORRAE POTAPINSKI Evelyn Lorrae Potapinski, aged six months and five days, died peacefully in the arms of her loving parents on June 6, 2018 at the Children's Hospital in Winnipeg Manitoba. Evelyn was born December 1, 2017. Evelyn will be sadly missed by her parents, Barry and Tamara Potapinski, sisters, Claire and Lylah, her grandparents, Brenda and Larry Klapprat from Anola, Manitoba, her grandparents, Linda and Dale Potapinski from Alida Saskatchewan, along with her great-grandparents and many aunts, uncles and cousins. Evelyn spent her first few weeks in NICU in Winnipeg and we were so incredibly happy to be able to bring her home just in time for Christmas. As she grew, so did the love and affection from her family. She shared countless giggles with her sisters who always sang to her. Evelyn loved to be entertained by them. We will miss kissing her soft hair and her grasp on our fingers. We will forever cherish her last family vacation at Riding Mountain National Park just a week prior to her death. Evelyn will always be remembered by her bright smile and magnificent blue eyes. We would like to thank the specialists that worked with Evelyn and the staff at both PICU and NICU at Children's Hospital along with the NICU staff at St. Boniface Hospital. Celebration of Life will be held Friday, June 15, 2018 2:00 p.m. at Glen Lawn Funeral Home, 455 Ladgimodiere Blvd. Memorial donations can be made to the Ronald McDonald room at Children's Hospital in Winnipeg, 566 Bannatyne Avenue, Winnipeg, MB R3A 0G7. Family and friends may sign a Book of Condolence at www.glenlawn.ca Glen Lawn Funeral Home 204-982-7550
