CELIA (ANASTASIA) ZULKOSKI (nee FAYKAS) 1934 - 2014 Celia was the youngest of 12 children born to Lena and Peter Faykas. She is survived by one brother, Alex. Celia was born in Arbakka, MB and grew up on a farm in Gardenton, MB. As a teen she moved to Winnipeg with her sister Kaye and soon met Walter and married in 1952. They were blessed with five children; Valerie (Greg Pidhirniak) with children Jamie, Kevin and Celia's great-grandson Andrew; Joyce (Lyle Tingey), Andrea; Tim (Lorna), Daniel and Andrew; Randy (Marj), Peter, Katie and Caroline; Karen (Detlef Ams), Christina and Jennifer. With a growing family, Celia was an original working mom. She worked nights at Paulin Chambers and slept very little while tending to five active kids. Later on she moved on to jobs at Christie Biscuits and Merchants Consolidated. Family and caring for others was everything to Celia. She would always have a hot meal ready and was a wonderful cook. Celia enjoyed over 51 years of marriage with Walter until his passing in 2004. They were long standing members of St. John Cantius and later on St. Theresa's Roman Catholic Churches. They had a wonderful life together going on rides and the farm in Gardenton always enjoying the company of friends and family. Mass of Christian Burial will celebrated on Wednesday, August 20 at 10:00 a.m. at St. Theresa's Roman Catholic Church, 3597 Main Street with Fr. Michael Wollbaum officiating. Interment will follow in Assumption Cemetery. If friends so desire, a donation may be made in Celia's memory towards a charity of one's choice. CROPO FUNERAL CHAPEL 204-586-8044

Randy/Tim (and family) - I'm so sorry to hear of you mom's passing. I just found out. You mom and dad were very kind to me and always made me feel like part of the family. I will alway treasure the memories of the Christmas, Easter, Birthday and family dinners that I was so welcome to take part in. It's been a long time but it feels just like yesterday.....
