ANNE SOKAL (nee SITARZ) (April 24, 1918- September 16, 2015) Surrounded by a family who loved her, Anne Sokal passed away on September 16, 2015 at the age of 97 years. Anne was an optimistic, hard-working woman who lived life to the fullest. She lived in her own home until last year and, even at 97, took pleasure in completing the daily crossword puzzle in the newspaper. In her early years, she worked alongside her husband Mike on the family farm and raised their sons, John (Erlene) and George (Linda), while also working as a chef at Elmhurst and Pine Ridge Golf Clubs and the Winnipeg Winter Club. Anne took great pleasure in cooking for the members well into her 80's and was well known for her delicious soups. At home, she ensured that no one ever left hungry. Her family and friends loved to eat her perogies, borscht, lemon pie, and her nothings'. Anne was loved and admired by her six grandchildren as well as her many great-grandchildren and nieces and nephews, who were welcomed into her home at any time with a warm smile and encouragement to eat. The family would like to express their thanks for the kind and compassionate care that Anne received at Red River Place. Anne is an example of a life well lived. She was happy, loved others, and was loved in return. She was a model of hard work and positivity. We will miss her. Divine Liturgy will held on Monday, September 21, 2015 at 10:00 a.m. at Immaculate Conception Ukrainian Catholic Church in Cooks Creek with Father Taras Kowch officiating. Interment will take at the Birds Hill Park Cemetery. SEASONS FUNERAL SERVICE 204-444-5444 www.seasonsfunerals.ca
