Obituary of MARY KRAWEC

MARY KRAWEC Peacefully, on March 15, 2016 at Seven Oaks Hospital in Winnipeg, Mary Krawec (nee Kucyk) passed away with family at her side. She was 88 years old. Mary is survived by her sons Dennis (Mariette) and Lawrence, her granddaughters Jessica (Chris) and Laura, great-granddaughter Avery and several brothers and sisters-in-law, nieces and nephews. Mary was born in Ledwyn, Manitoba in 1927 to the late Andrew and Justyna Kucyk who immigrated to Canada from Ukraine. She was one of eight children and was predeceased by all seven siblings: brothers Mike, Bill, John, Tony, Walter and sisters Pauline and Annie. In 1951, she married John Krawec and settled in Winnipeg where they raised their family. She was predeceased by her husband in 2005. A devoted wife and caring mother and Baba, Mary's happiest moments were spent with family, especially visits with her great-granddaughter. She took pride in being a Baba and, more recently, a "Great-Baba". Mary enjoyed tending to her begonias, taking the bus to visit friends at Garden City mall and visits from her neighbours' dogs. She will be remembered dearly. The family would like to thank Dr. Chew and the staff at Seven Oaks Hospital - 5th Floor, Unit 1. We appreciate the compassion and comfort they provided in Mary's final days. A service will be held on Saturday, March 19, 2016 at 1:00pm at Cropo Funeral Chapel. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Seven Oaks General Hospital Foundation or to the charity of your choice. Vichnaya Pam'yat
