MARIA BRAUN It is with a deep sense of sadness and loss that the family announces the peaceful passing of Maria Braun on Wednesday, May 21, 2008 at Donwood Manor Personal Care Home at the age of 95 years. Born in 1913, in the Ukraine to parents Peter and Agatha Koslowsky, the family immigrated to Canada in 1926 due to turmoil in their homeland.

They lived on a farm near Niverville for 31 years with their family of six children and after 1962 enjoyed an active retirement in Winnipeg. Left to cherish her memory are their children Irene, Peter, Ellie, Irmgard, Connie, 13 grandchildren and 14 great-grandchildren, and two sisters Helen Koslowsky and Anne Isaak. She was predeceased by her parents, three brothers Abram, Peter and John; her husband Isaak, son John and grandson Curtis Braun.
