Obituary of TEENIE JASKIEWICH

TEENIE JASKIEWICH June 20, 1913 – March 31, 2012 With sadness but with happy memories, the family of Teenie Jaskiewich announce her passing on March 31, 2012, at the age of 98. Our mother was fortunate to be able to stay in her own home to the very end. She was the wife and working partner of Henry for 56 happy years until he left us in 1987. She missed him dearly but we know they have rejoined hands, are together eternally and no doubt are building another house as they did in the past. Her memory will be cherished by her daughters and grandchildren, Milly, Carol, Christine (Pete) of Arizona, John (Juli), Gregory and great-grandson Tyler of Minnesota. Mum was the Baba who rolled on the floor with her grandchildren, dressed up like Santa for them, and took care of them for many memorable summers. Mum was a great woman with a big heart showing pride in her family. We’ll miss her sense of humour and talent for telling jokes to whoever would listen. Teenie was predeceased by all of her ten siblings, George, Nicholas, Rose, Elsie, Anne, John, Maria, William, Pearl and Helen. She was the orphan "baby" of this large family and was blessed when she was raised by her brother, Nicholas and his wife Katherine, who treated her like one of their own children during the difficult depression era. She was also predeceased by many nieces and nephews much younger than Mum, but most recently by William Popowich who was like her little brother. We want to thank Junik, Anne and Jerry who were always involved in her life. As well, we thank Mum’s recent home care worker, Carla, and her former home care worker, Darlene MacGillivray, who was always kind to our mother. Dr. Brian Sharkey was the epitome of a doctor who for decades showed his skill, knowledge and compassion to our Queen Mum. Funeral services will be held on Thursday, April 5th, at 10:00 a.m. at Cropo Funeral Chapel, 1442 Main Street. If friends desire, donations may be made to a charity of their choice. We have lost our source of love and laughter
