Obituary of CHRISTINE HANKE

Peacefully on January 16, 2025 at Maples PCH, mom went home to heaven.

She will be deeply missed by Edward, her beloved husband of 63 years; children, Chris and Kim (Grant), Scooby, grand-dog Enzo and sisters-in-law Joan Hanke (Rod Feller) and Judy Zoltai (Stephen).

Mom enjoyed her annual family trips to Longboat Key, Florida and visits to Minneapolis with Chris and Kim for shopping and Bruce Springsteen concerts.

Her favourite seasons were spring and summer, when she could putter in her flower beds which she took great pride in. She also enjoyed attending Blue Bomber games to cheer on her team.

Although our hearts are broken, it was difficult to watch our lively, intelligent, beautiful mom in her struggles once she was diagnosed with dementia and we are comforted knowing she is at peace.

A special thank you to the wonderful staff at Maples – Unit 2 West – you took such good care of mom and made her feel at home.

Mom, we will miss you always and love you forever.

Donations may be made in mom’s memory to either the Winnipeg Humane Society or Alzheimer Society of Manitoba.

A private family burial will take place.
