Adele
Blomquist, 83, passed away peacefully on December 3, 2019.
She is
survived by her son Glenn, daughters, Sharon (Sheldon) and Claudia, grandsons,
Keegan (Megan) and Eathan (Jocelyn), brother Leon, sister Irene, and her cats,
as well as a large extended family.
She was
predeceased by her first husband Brownie Byczek, second husband Daniel
Blomquist, parents, Helen and Frank Bruneau, and her twin brother at birth.
With every
medical timeline she had been given in her life, Mom proved the doctors wrong
and lived a full life for over 83 years.
She was
active in the local horticultural society, and the Catholic Women’s League, and
was a Brownie leader for many years. She was a huge Stompin’ Tom Connor fan
and, through no fault of their own, her children know the words to all his
songs. She attended his concerts any time he was within driving distance, including
one memorable trip to Portage la Prairie in a snowstorm. Mom enjoyed visiting
Las Vegas and made the trip many times with family and friends. Through the
magic of solar lights, her yard bore a strong resemblance to The
Strip. Mom was interested in a variety of professional sports and loved
attending Bomber games with Claudia. We’re so happy that she got to watch them
win the Cup. Royal Canadian Legion Branch 164 was the centre of Mom’s social
life. If she wasn’t playing cribbage, darts or bingo, she could be found in her
‘office’, usually with a handful of payout tickets. We are grateful to the
lovely ladies at bingo who always made sure that Mom was comfy while she
played.
Mom loved
being a grandmother and Keegan and Eathan loved spending time with her. The
word ‘no’ didn’t exist at Grandma’s house and the three of them were partners
in all kinds of shenanigans.
We would
like to thank the wonderful staff at Pinawa Hospital and CancerCare for their
many kindnesses and genuine care that they gave Mom and to us.
A
celebration of life will be held near Mom’s birthday in June, details to be
posted. Flowers are gratefully declined. Donations can be made in Mom’s name to
any animal welfare agency, if you desire.
