Stephanie Kowal Peacefully on June 14, 2011 our dear Aunt Stephanie passed away at St. Joseph's Nursing Home, 11 days before her 100th birthday. Stephanie was born in Pine Ridge, MB. June 26th, 1911. Her family moved to Oak Bank where she lived until she left to work in Winnipeg. Wanting to travel and see the country, she worked in Vancouver, Toronto, Windsor and finally Detroit, MI. where she enjoyed being close to relatives. At 63 our Aunt retired and returned to Winnipeg. She bought a car, learned how to drive and spent many hours of enjoyment by visiting relatives in Winnipeg and surrounding areas. In passing, Stephanie leaves her sister Lena Sereacki and many nieces and nephews who will miss her and cherish many wonderful memories of a very special person! The family would like to thank the staff at St. Joseph's Nursing Home for their dedication and compassionate care to Stephanie during her stay.
