KERRILYN ELIZABETH JENTZSCH (nee FREDERICKSON) September 12, 1966 - September 13, 2015 On a Sunday morning, my beautiful daughter Kerrilyn passed away suddenly leaving many cherished memories. Kerrilyn will be greatly missed by her mother Gayle; her brother Dean; and her niece and nephew Ashley and Dean Jr. She will also be dearly missed by her aunty Darlene, who would take her to the coffee shop every Thursday evening and include her in family holidays; her uncle Larry and aunt Gladys; her aunts Donna and Jackie and her cousins. Her stepsisters Lois, Norma, Joanne and Kim will also remember her. She was predeceased by her husband Brett and her grandparents. Kerrilyn enjoyed her "regular" coffee shop friends over many years and the last celebration was her birthday. Kerrilyn worked for Salisbury House for many years. She suffered a stroke two years ago and never fully recovered. She could no longer safely go out by herself and her speech was significantly affected. In spite of this, Kerrilyn was almost always cheerful and happy. Special thanks to Markos Tegegn and all the people at Transitional Living Centres who were there for her, where she spent her last one and a half years. Cremation has taken place and a private celebration for family and close friends will be held on Tuesday, September 22, 2015 at 11:00 a.m. in the Coutu Funeral Chapel, 680 Archibald Street. If friends so desire, donations in memory of Kerrilyn may be made to Heart and Stroke Foundation or to Transitional Living Centres (TLC). Staff and friends at the Second Cup will miss you. The Coutu Family in care of arrangements: E.J. COUTU & CO. FUNERAL DIRECTORS 204-253-5086 ejcoutu.com
