Obituary of LILLIAN MART

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Lillian, loving wife, mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother, who passed away peacefully and with dignity (as she led her life) at HSC Hospital with her loving family holding vigil.

She leaves to mourn her sons, Alan (Madeleine), Brad (Connie), and Chris (Christine); grandchildren, Curtis, Holly, Rob and Pat; and great-grandchild Briawna and her brother Ed.

Lil was predeceased by her husband Bob of 64 years, sister Emily and parents, Josip and Fanika Novotni.

Lil was born in the RM of Springfield raised there and in Winnipeg. She had a long career at Elmwood Elementary School in Altona, MB working in clerical where she and Bob had moved, then later returning to Winnipeg in retirement.

She led an active life volunteering, regular donator of plasma, making craft dolls/bears and in later years enjoying time with her dear friends at the apartment. Mom was a kind, gentle and beautiful soul, with a quiet strength to enjoy life and see it through, who will be dearly missed. Love you, Mom.

Special thanks to the staff at HSC for their care and compassion.

As per Lil's wishes, cremation has taken place. A private memorial service for family will be held at a later date.
