Obituary of IRENE FORMAN

IRENE FORMAN (NEE HOLIAN) It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Irene Forman, aged 90, on Wednesday, May 25, 2016, peacefully in her room at Park Manor Personal Care Home. Irene was predeceased by her loving husband Mike, her parents William and Beatrice Holian, her sisters Kay (Hawryluk) Genyk, Stella Anderson and Ann Robinson, her brothers Walter, John and Pete Holian. She leaves behind to lovingly cherish her memory her many nieces, nephews, goddaughter, relatives and friends. Aunty Irene was born in Sylvan, MB on February 16, 1926. She later moved to Winnipeg where she met and married Uncle Mike, the love of her life. Aunty Irene was a loving, caring and compassionate person and she loved spending time with all of her nieces and nephews. Many of us spent weekends staying overnight with Aunty Irene and Uncle Mike. She always made you feel special and welcome, no matter what time you arrived at her door. She had a wonderful smile and always spoke positively of everyone. Aunty Irene was a long standing member of the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 141 Ladies Auxiliary. She volunteered many hours with the Legion making perogies and cabbage rolls for various functions and visiting residents at various personal care homes. She was a member of the WMP Color Party with the Legion and won many awards for her marching skills. Aunty Irene liked playing bingo, bowling, the board game aggravation, going on bus trips to casinos, watching game shows and soap operas on TV and visiting her many friends and family. She especially loved getting together with the family for holiday and birthday dinners and loved to cook mountains of food for all of them. She will be dearly missed by all of us. The family would like to give special thanks to the nurses, staff and palliative care volunteers at Park Manor Personal Care Home for their kind compassionate care of our Aunt. A Memorial Service will be held at Cropo Funeral Chapel, 1442 Main Street on Tuesday, May 31, 2016 at 1:00 p.m. officiated by Reverend Vince Anderson. Interment will follow at All Saints Cemetery. Pallbearers will be Dave Holloway, Ed Harvie, Ron Robinson, Mike Holloway, Rick Porter and Brett Harvie. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Aunty Irene’s name to Park Manor Personal Care Home, the Canadian Alzheimer’s Society or to a charity of their choice.
