Send Flowers to the Family Offer Condolences or MemoryIDABELLE MELNYK (nee TAIT) It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our mother, grandmother, great- grandmother, sister, sister-in- law and auntie on November 3, 2013 after a brief illness. Mom was predeceased by her husband John, the love of her life her daughter Linda Gomes, mom's parents Walter and Yetta Tait, sisters and brother in laws, Doris and Walter Bednarski, and Phyllis and Don Murphy. Left to mourn are her sons Rick, Bud (Kim) granddaughter Randi (Bradley) great-grandchildren Toban, Jasper and Avaline, granddaughter Karly, son Garth and granddaughter Melissa, (Melissa's mom Iris) and son Scott, Linda's children Samantha and Joshua Gomes, (their father Paul). Mom will be greatly missed by her sister Linda Scowen (the late Don) and brother Brian Tait, sister-in-law Betty Melnyk and numerous nieces and nephews who were very, very special to her, and dear friend Gladys Tait. Mom was born in Chatfield, MB on March 20, 1930. The family moved to Winnipeg in 1941 where she met and married her husband John on September 26, 1947. Mom was a very hard working woman and a great provider for her family always putting us first. She loved the time she spent with her family each and every one of you, especially those of her grandchildren and the lunches with the great-grandchildren. Mom loved your visits and all of your just checking in phone calls over the years. Mom would like to thank Dr. Henry and Sandy for all their care over the years. The family would like to thank Peter and the staff at Seven Oaks Hospital emergency department, as well as Barbie and Jody and the staff in U4 for the care, comfort and compassion they provided for mom. Cremation has already taken place and friends are invited to join the family at a Memorial Service celebrating mom's life on Saturday, November 16, 2013 at 11:00 a.m. at Mosaic Funeral Chapel, 1839 Inkster Blvd. with a reception to follow. Mom will be laid to rest with dad in the Field of Honour at Brookside Cemetery at a private family Interment which will be held at a later date. In lieu of flowers the family requests that donations can be made to CancerCare Manitoba or the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Manitoba, or to a charity of your choice. When tomorrow starts without me, please try to understand, an angel came and called my name and took me by the hand, and said my place was ready in heaven up above and that I'd have to leave behind all those that I love. So when tomorrow starts without me, don't think we're far apart, for every time you think of me please know I'm in your heart.

I recall the last time we saw her. It had to be in the early sixties when all of you came to see my Dad (your uncle Steve). I remember as such her beautiful lady with her shiny dark hair. Strange, I know but that was the only memory of her I have. My husband and I did take my Dad to see uncle John in the home before he passed. Such a nice visit for them both. - Posted by: Myrna Atkinson (Niece) on: Nov 13, 2013

Nannie- Being away from home when times like these arise always makes it so hard to be away, but I know that memories and love know no distance. I’m very thankful that a service like this exists, so I can be there to support my family. I want you to know that I love and cherish you all very much. There are many times and keys things I will remember about my Nannie. She had the ability to bring us all together every Sunday for family dinners. Anyone who spent Sunday dinners with us Melnyk’s, will know how great of a cook she was! That was some good, old-fashioned soul food. I still crave her pot roast, chicken soup with dumplings, cabbage rolls, and of course, spice cake! I will always be envious of her snow white hair, which you always so perfectly styled the night before with rollers. You brought magic to my childhood through Santa at Christmases, kids New Year’s parties, and that year you spoiled us all with the Little Women Ashton Drake dolls. We also got to spend time together when I lived with you for a brief period. Thank you for opening your door and being there for me during that time. I remember we would split a Dairy Milk bar and watch Judge Judy, while having heart to hearts. Well, ok, let’s not fool ourselves, no one was allowed to talk during Judge Judy, but we certainly did have heart to hearts during the commercial breaks! You gave me advice about being independent, and told me to never depend on a man for my happiness! (Thank you for being so honest, this lesson has come in handy so many times!!) But I think the single most valuable lesson you ever taught me was learned though our relationship and that was no matter what, we are family. We didn’t always see eye to eye, but that’s ok because a family never stops loving, and a family always accepts, and a family never gives up on each other. I would not be the woman I am today without you. May you rest in peace. Xo Melissa - Posted by: Melissa Melnyk (grand-daughter) on: Nov 11, 2013

RIP Auntie Bobbie! My favorite memory of you has to be the BBQ loaf sandwiches. I loved coming to visit your house as a kid and eating those sandwiches. Give everyone a hug from us and give Linda an extra special squeeze ok. I know you are smiling up there holding her tight. Love you. Dave, Tina, Ally and Shelby. - Posted by: Tina Scowen (Niece) on: Nov 09, 2013
