As she wished, Mum passed away peacefully in her sleep at Pembina Manitou Health Centre. Effie was born in Portage la Prairie and lived most of her life in Winnipeg. She lived a long and eventful life and will be remembered for her quiet remarkable strength and love for her family, her husband, Met and her three sons; the Three Commandos. During her lifetime, she travelled extensively and saw a good portion of the world. Her family remembers her as a wonderful cook and exceptional talent for knitting and crafts. Left to cherish her memory is her son, Gerald (Shirley) Bodner of Wellington, New Zealand, her son, Tom (Sandi) Bodner of Edmonton, AB, grandson, Ryan (Renee) and great-grandson, Ryder of Sherwood Park, AB as well as two very special great-nieces, Debbie Remillard and Vanda Clayton of Manitou, MB and numerous nieces and nephews throughout North America. Effie was predeceased by her husband, Met and eldest son, Robert. She was the last of five sisters. As per Effie's wishes, cremation has taken place and a private family celebration of her life and interment will follow at a later date. The family extends a heartfelt thank you to all the staff at the Pembina Manitou Health Centre for their tender and compassionate care over the last six years.

Many wonderful memories of Aunt Effie. Visiting them with my parents on our way to my dad's farm in Saskatchewan in summer months. My last visit was with my husband to the nursing home (Pembina) about four years ago. Our family is from Michigan, USA - Posted by: Nadine Ann (Paziuk) Zywicki (Niece ( my mother (Ann) was the second oldest of the five sisters ) on: Jul 21, 2013
