Send Flowers to the Family Offer Condolences or MemoryANNA OGOREK August 3, 1929 May 7, 2015 Beloved mother, grandmother and great-grandmother Anna Ogorek (nee Goertzen) was called home to the Lord on May 7, 2015, after passing away peacefully at the age of 85 years. Born in Ernfold, Saskatchewan and raised in Sandbeach, Saskatchewan, Anna was the ninth child and third daughter of Franz and Helena (nee Letkeman) Goertzen. Anna was married in 1951 after meeting the love of her life, Daniel Ogorek while working at the Winnipeg Municipal Hospital from 1949 to 1951. She went on to work at the University of Manitoba in 1967 and retired in 1989. After retiring, Anna dedicated her life to her family, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Generous of time, kindness and faith, Anna would spend nights knitting mittens and toques by lamplight for those in need, donating piles to the Salvation Army every year. There was always a spare loonie in her pocket, cookies in the pantry and ice cream in the freezer for her grandchildren and great-grandchildren, for whom she would do anything for. Anna is survived by her daughters Darlene (Rick) Richardson, Dianne (Paul) Castle, Loretta (John) McFadzean and daughter-in-law Hilda Ogorek; 11 grandchildren and 24 great-grandchildren. Anna was predeceased by her parents; husband Daniel Ogorek and son Lawrence Ogorek. A celebration of Anna's life will take place on Tuesday, May 12, 2015 at 10:00 a.m. at Thomson "In the Park" Funeral Home, 1291 McGillivray Boulevard. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Winnipeg Harvest, 1085 Winnipeg Avenue, Winnipeg, MB R3E 0S2, and the Christmas Cheer Board, 1385 Ellice Avenue, Winnipeg, MB R3G 0G3. The family wishes to thank the doctors and nurses at Riverview Hospital for making Anna's final days peaceful. They would also like to thank Lilia Ivsek for her companionship and kindness to Anna.
