Obituary of MYRNA WENSEL

MYRNA WENSEL (nee KULBABA) Early in the morning an angel came and called her name, and by her hand took her home. It is with great sadness that the family announces the sudden passing of Myrna Wensel on Sunday, October 30th, 2011 at the Concordia Hospital at the age of 79 years. Left to cherish her memory is her husband of 42 years Alex.

Myrna was born at the Selkirk Hospital on December 2, 1931, grew up on the family farm and attended school in Sandhill, MB. In 1944 she moved with the family to Bird’s Hill, MB. Myrna moved to Winnipeg in 1955, and worked at Wawanesa Insurance and Thomas Elias for many years. She resided at the family home on Trent Ave until she married her husband Alex in April, 1969. They lived on Washington Ave, eventually moving to their new home, built by Alex, in Gonor (south of Lockport) where she resided with her husband Al until her passing. Together, they enjoyed life, gardening, and the many pets they had. She had many other interests that kept her active, from curling to fall suppers. Funeral service will be held on Friday, November 4, 2011, 10:00 am at Cropo Funeral Chapel, 1442 Main Street, Winnipeg. Following the service, interment will take place at All Saints Cemetery, 4535 Main Street, Winnipeg.

Special thanks to the doctors and staff of Concordia Hospital for the care and attention afforded her. Our brief partings on earth will appear one day as nothing beside the joy of eternity together.
