EDNA KLASSEN (nee FUNK) With heavy hearts and profound sorrow we announce the peaceful passing of Edna, aged 89, on December 20, 2018 at Concordia Place Personal Care Home. Leslie and Tammy feel blessed that they were present when Mom/Nana passed. Mom was predeceased by her parents, John and Margaret Funk and five siblings. She was also predeceased by her precious granddaughter Keslie in 1997, husband John in 2004 and son Laverne in 2008. Mom is survived by her daughters, Val (Murray) and Leslie (Bill); granddaughters, Tammy and Tatum (Bob); nephews, Ron (Simone) and Larry (Denise); her son Rory and granddaughter Kaitlin (Justin), and three great-grandchildren, Landon (Alex), Kadie and Kennedy. Mom is also survived by her new-found family at Concordia Place, including residents, resident family members, nurses and health care aides and all Concordia Place staff that cared for her or just stopped to have a chat with Mom. Thank you to Chaplains, Gerry and Kathleen for your blessings and support during this roller coaster journey. We are not going to speak about Mom's prior achievements in life, we are going to talk about the achievements she accomplished in the last years of her life, her mind taken by dementia. Dementia is a cruel disease, Mom, you were its victim. It snuck into our lives and took over your mind. We were also victims and we carry a deep sadness within us. Recently whispers replaced your speech, and then silence became your vocabulary. Conversations suddenly stopped. We ask you to say our names. We want so much to hear you say our names again. You look at us and say, "you're my sisters." How is Mom, I want to see Mom. We smile, little girls who still need their mom. Your blue eyes, though sometimes distant and faded, were still clear. Your smile and beautiful blue eyes could light up a room. This terrible illness did not steal your beauty. And then you were back in the place of your birth. You came full circle. Mom resided at Concordia Place for three years where she formed many friendships. Mom enjoyed the recreation programs, including the outings for lunch, coffee parties, singing, painting, colouring, the bus stop sign on the wall in front of the nurses station that Nurse Janette put up and the residents that lined up behind Mom. Mom enjoyed assisting nurses, Janette, Nenita, Jerilyn, Danuta, Daniel, Cheryl and Jeffrey, just to name a few, during their med passes. Mom enjoyed assisting the nurses at the Nurse's Station and sometimes answering the telephone on the unit. A few crushes that you shared and the crushes that other residents had on you and to quote you, "he's too old for me." Many hours were spent outside in the beautiful courtyard sipping coffee, eating and visiting. Mom's legacy will live on at Concordia Place with the framed mirrors so beautifully placed in the courtyard and the numerous puzzles that adorn the walls on the second floor. Cremation has taken place and interment for family and friends will take place on Friday, May 10 at 2:00 p.m. in the Military Section of the Transcona Cemetery. "YOU ARE MY SUNSHINE" E.J.

I would love to give you a big hug right now,but I guess I will have to hug you in my heart. Rest peacefully Mom, you deserve it. You were one of the hardest working women I have ever known. Give everyone with you a big hug from me!! LOVE VAL - Posted by: Valerie Lee (Daughter) on: Feb 02, 2019

  • Thanks to everyone for their true, kind words. - Posted by: Leslie Worthington (Daughter) on: Feb 01, 2019

  • From when I first met her, Edna and I had a special bond. Circumstances dictated that I keep my distance but I thought of her often and wished her the best. It’s nice to know that ‘the girls’ took good care of her and that she is finally reunited with her dear Kelsie who will forever remain 12 years old. - Posted by: Yvette Morin (Friend) on: Jan 31, 2019

  • Sincere condolences to Edna's beautiful daughter and granddaughter, Edna was a lovely lady, and i can still hear my mom saying I don't think Edna feels well, she's not wearing her lips (lip stick). Funny how acquaintances become close family. Leslie and Tammy I truly am grateful that we met, and I will forever keep you close to my heart. Praying for God to always give you the strength you need. Rest easy Edna, a beautiful lady whom will not be forgotten. - Posted by: Valerie Ann White (Friend) on: Jan 28, 2019

  • Thank you all for the online condolences. - Posted by: Leslie Worthington (Daughter) on: Jan 28, 2019

  • Our sincere condolences to the entire family. I just found about your mom's passing through my sister Val. I have so many fond memories of Edna when I was growing up & having sleepovers with Leslie. Apple fritters & other great food she made for us. Dementia is a very cruel illness that takes our loved ones away from us while they're still on this earth. - Posted by: Karen Howard (Vermeulen) (Former neighbor of the Klassens & childhood friend of Leslie) on: Jan 28, 2019

  • Nana, it's so hard to see your face in the obituaries. I wonder everyday if you are with me. My heart aches to have your arms around me. I was very lucky to have you for 51 years. You will never be forgotten. I hope your hugs are with Keslie. I love you forever. - Posted by: Tammy (Granddaughter ) on: Jan 27, 2019

  • Sorry for your loss. - Posted by: Noreen Carlson (Niece (Abe Klassen’s daughter)) on: Jan 26, 2019

  • Although my memories of Edna have been short-lived, she left me smiling every time Ron and I visited her. I especially enjoyed having conversations with her, as she kept me on my toes by always giving me a quick response that would have me laughing. Her sense of humor and kindness to me shall forever be ingrained in my heart. I know that I am not alone when I say that many, many people whose lives she touched will miss her terribly. My sincere condolences to Val, Leslie and Tammy. - Posted by: Simone Meilleur (Friend and family) on: Jan 26, 2019

  • I will miss my aunt so much. We socialized and toured around Manitoba sharing memories of their past lives. We had so much fun together. I go back to a time when life was complicated yet simpler. At the risk of making us sound like drunks, I think we must have hit every hotel from Brandon on down east to Kenora. I will miss her quick wit that would send so many of us in stitches. Thanks for the memories High-Flyer. I can't thank my Auntie Edna enough for caring. She was so good to me (from Ginger). - Posted by: Ron Funk (Nephew) on: Jan 26, 2019

  • Well Mom 15 years ago today Dad passed. So hard to believe, love to you both, rest peacefully. - Posted by: Leslie Worthington (Daughter) on: Jan 26, 2019
