Obituary of JEAN DZYNDRA

JEAN DZYNDRA

It is with deep sadness that we share the passing of our beloved mother, grandmother and great grandmother, Jean on March 11, 2018 at River East Personal Care Home.

Jean is survived by her daughter Marilyn Sanderson; grandchildren, Keith (Jodie) Sanderson and Leanne (Lee) Morton; great-grandson Benjamin Morton; and nephews, Ken Tkachuk, Clayton Kilborn; and neice Louise Balaban.  She was predeceased by parents, Iwan and Hanka Balaban; husband William Dzyndra; son Lawrence Dzyndra; sisters, Mary Kilborn, Nettie Tkachuk, Stella Schenk; and brother Mike Balaban.

Jean was born in the RM of Stuartburn in November 1918 and moved with her family to Transcona in 1924. She married William Dzyndra in 1939 and continued to live in Transcona for most of her life. Jean was a devoted wife and mother. She was a proficient seamstress and cook. She spent many hours in the kitchen, which was also a favourite meeting place for friends and family. She provided advice and wise counsel to all who would listen and was well respected by all who had the pleasure of spending time with her.

Cremation has taken place and a private interment was held with family and close friends.

The family wishes to express thanks to the caring staff at River East Personal Care Home.
