Obituary of BONNIE KOZLOWSKI

BONNIE KOZLOWSKI It is with great sadness that I announce the passing of Bonnie Kozlowski on April 9, 2012 at Calvary Place Nursing Home. She is survived by her devoted husband Alvin of 24 years; her sister Joan Powell; nephews and nieces. Bonnie was predeceased by her parents George and Edith Stafford and sister Marilyn Powles. Bonnie attended Isaac Brock and Daniel McIntyre High School where she was an Honors student. She ran a leg on the championship school relay team and had leads in the Gilbert and Sullivan productions done by the school. Her talent and love of music continued as she joined choirs at Chalmers United, McClure United and St. Ignatius Roman Catholic Church. She competed in the Wales Music Festival in 1957. In 1953 she was asked to join the Winnipeg Philharmonic Choir. Bonnie worked for MHRC for 5 years and later was employed by Great West Life for 35 years (25 years as Manager of meeting planning). She retired in 1992. In 1987, at the Daniel Mac reunion, Bonnie met the love of her life; Alvin Kozlowski. They married a year later. Alvin was right beside Bonnie throughout her 7 year journey with dementia. Alvin thanks the entire care giving staff of Calvary Place especially the RNs on 3 South; Janet , Elsa, Danielle and Lorie for their care and kindness. Au Revoir Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated on Monday, April 16 at 11:00 a.m. at St. Ignatius Roman Catholic Church, Stafford and Corydon, Winnipeg, MB.
