Obituary Overview
Greta Fox
Peacefully, on Saturday, September 01, 2018 our loving mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother passed away with her family by her side.
Greta was predeceased by her loving husband Kenneth in 1987 and daughter Debbie in 2006. She was also predeceased by her parents Viggo and Elise Thomsen and her six siblings. Mom leaves to mourn her passing her children Gary (Sandy), Bryan, Kenda (Richard), Colleen (Paul), Kyle (Deb), her grandchildren Amanda (Joe), Kurtis, Ryan (Kelly), Jordyn and Bryant and two great-grandchildren Paisley and Brody as well as brother Ron Thomsen.
Mom was born on March 08, 1925, in Ribe Denmark and with her family immigrated to Winnipeg. In 1950 she married her true love Ken and together they raised 6 children. She was a stay at home mom who devoted herself to family and her home in Transcona. She had her daily routines, and on Mondays you could usually see clothes hanging on the line. She was an exceptional homemaker and took great pride in her skills of ironing, cleaning and we can all attest that there wasn’t a stain she couldn’t remove. She loved listening to music, reading and drinking hot black coffee. Mom loved to decorate her home for all occasions, with her favorite being Christmas. There wasn’t one inch of space in any room that didn’t have some touch of the holiday on display. Her famous baking, red cabbage and anti-pasto were legendary. She was a long standing member of the Danish Club at the Scandinavia Centre, where she made many friendships and loved hearing her name pronounced correctly. Mom took pride in her Danish heritage and spent numerous hours volunteering at Folklorama at both the Scandinavian and Emerald Isle pavilions.
In accordance with Greta’s wishes, a private family interment will be held at Glen Lawn Memorial Gardens.
Family would like to extend a special thank you to the staff of Park Manor Personal Care Home for their love and support of Greta.
Nos plus sincères sympathies à la famille et aux amis de Greta Fox 2018..
