LYDIA KIESMAN
The family announces on April 27, 2023, a heart of gold has "quit kicking". Mom took Dad's hand and entered into a beautiful world.
Mom was predeceased by Dad in (1992), sons-in-law, Tom Lesperance (2002) and Tom Duly (2018), and numerous family and friends.
Mom is survived by her eight children, Priscilla (Allan), Francie, Sandy (David), Sherry, Penny (Neil), Louella (Maurice), Rhonda (Jason), and Trevor (Noelle); her grandchildren, Tanis, Todd, Melanie, Heidi, Candis, Amy, Tara, Megan, Fallon, Christopher, Reid, Shay, Amanda, Adam and their spouses.

Lydia was the sixth child of 17 born to Emma (nee Gall) and Emil Meisner.
Lydia married Elmer Kiesman on June 18, 1948. In the early years of their marriage Mom and Dad farmed in Spearhill, Marchand, and Moosehorn, Manitoba. They purchased the Buy-Rite store in Moosehorn from Grandpa Meisner and operated it for a number of years.
In the fall of 1968 the family moved to Winnipeg where Lydia resided until her passing.
Mom enjoyed playing cards, dominos, bingo and music, but her most joy was visiting with family.

Ohhhhh Lydia!!! I will miss your hugs, your humour, your quick wit and your laugh. You were the BEST!!!! You always brought a smile to my face, particularly when you were ‘feisty’. Your spunk made me smile, we should all be like that. I always enjoyed telling you my stories of Steep Rock and how every time you were surprised I even knew where that was. Hugs and condolences to all her family. She will/is dearly missed! - Posted by: Kara (Friend) on: May 06, 2023
