Obituary of IGNACY SZELAZEK

IGNACY SZELAZEK

After a brief courageous battle with cancer, Ignacy passed away on Saturday, August 24, 2019 at the age of 82.

He will be lovingly remembered by his beloved wife Zofia Szelazek, children Joanna Hamedani (Ramin and children Brian, Alexandra, and Thomas) and Paul Szelazek (Nicole Carvalho and children Jakob and Olivia).

He was predeceased by his parents Amelia and Emeryk Szelazek and sisters Gienia Basarab and Teresa Soroka.

Ignacy immigrated to Winnipeg from Poland. He met his wife Zofia here and they spent over 50 years together. Ignacy was a devoted father and hard worker, rarely missing a day from his long term job as bricklayer for CP Rail. Ignacy enjoyed the outdoors gardening and riding his bike until he no longer could. He was a peaceful, loving man and will be deeply missed by those he leaves behind.

Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated on Wednesday, August 28 at 10:00 a.m. at Holy Ghost Roman Catholic Parish, 341 Selkirk Avenue. Interment to follow in Holy Ghost Cemetery.
