Send Flowers to the Family Offer Condolences or MemoryHOLLY MARIE FRANTZ (nee BOUDREAU) Peacefully, Holly Frantz passed away from cancer on November 7, 2015, at the Gimli Community Health Center, with her boys around her. She was predeceased by her father Jim Boudreau. Left to mourn her passing is her husband of 34 years, Larry; sons Karl and Eric; her mom Lillian Boudreau; brothers Guy (Sonja), Mark (Rose); sister Kallie Boudreau; mother and father in-law Marie and Vern Frantz; sisters-in-law Susan (Mark Woodruff) and Sharon (Gord) McMaster; brother-in-law Don (James) Frantz and many aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, cousins and friends. Holly was born on July 16, 1955 in Fort Frances, Ontario. The family moved to Winnipeg in 1961 and she finished her schooling at Kildonan East Collegiate. Holly had a varied career and finished her working years with the CRA. She met her husband Larry in late 1978 and they were married in February of 1981. Their first son Karl was born in October 1983 and Eric completed their family in March of 1985. They spent the first years of their marriage in Winnipeg but soon moved to the country where Holly was able to pursue her love of gardening. While the boys were growing up the family had many great adventures, traveling to both coasts of Canada and spending summers at Rugby Lake. When Holly and Larry retired, they moved to Gimli to enjoy the summers where they both took up golfing and Holly even managed to beat Larry on several occasions. For Holly to avoid the cold Manitoba winters which she detested, they began exploring the world, visiting New Zealand, Fiji, Portugal, Spain, The Canary Islands, Egypt, Texas, Mardi Gras in New Orleans, Barbados, Sturgis Bike Week and Mexico. Holly was well known for her caring heart, positive attitude, hosting guests and endless optimism. She will always be loved and missed by all who knew her. The family would like to thank the staff at the Gimli Hospital for their care and compassion. A memorial service will be held Saturday, November 14, 2015, in the Gilbart Funeral Chapel, Selkirk, MB at 1:00 p.m. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Gimli Community Health Center Northeast Palliative Care Unit. Gilbart Funeral Home, Selkirk and Gimli in care of arrangements. www.gilbartfuneralhome.com

To Larry, Karl, Eric, Lil, Guy, Kallie, Mark and families. Holly was such a beautiful and caring person. She touched so many lives and was truly an inspiration. Grace, courage, dignity, love, laughter, fun are a few words that come to mind when I think of Holly. It has been a great honor and privilege to have her as my friend for over fifty years. She loved you all so much and her legacy will live on. You are all in my thoughts Elaine - Posted by: Elaine Aveyard (friend) on: Nov 13, 2015

Larry,Karl, Lillian & Kallie, I have only had the pleasure of friendship with Holly for a few years and feel blessed for the time shared. Holly was a calm and patient teacher in sharing her skills,enjoyed time with her friends and loved her family. She will be truly missed. When I look up at the night sky I will think of an Eskimo Legend that I've read that says,"Perhaps they are not stars in the sky,but rather openings where our loved ones shine down to let us know they are happy." When the star twinkles to say "hello" , I'll wave and say "hello" back dear friend. Take care Janice and Lloyd - Posted by: Janice & Lloyd Tokle (Friends) on: Nov 09, 2015
