Obituary
Margaret Mary Mozdzen (nee Turko)
It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Our Dear Mother, Grandmother and Great Grandmother Margaret on January 18th, 2021 at the McCreary/Alonsa Health Centre.
Margaret was born on September 1, 1925 in Alonsa, MB. to George and Stephanie Turko , the second child in a family of six. She quit school at the age of 14 and made her way from the farm to Winnipeg to find employment which was quite the experience! She then made her way to Portage where she worked at the Hospital. From there she found her way back to Alonsa where she worked both at the store and Hotel.
She met the love of her life Edward Mozdzen and they were married on November 22, 1947. They purchased land west of Alonsa and began their life together working side by side to make a viable farming operation as well as raising their family of five.
Caring for her family, making sure everyone was well fed was an important part of her life. Family get togethers were not complete without Grandma’s famous cabbage rolls!
Margaret enjoyed tending to her garden and flowers, card parties, playing bingo and visiting with family and friends. Her coffee pot was always ready for company!
After Edward passed away Margaret remained in their home until August 2019 until health no longer permitted and she became a resident of the McCreary/Alonsa Health Centre.
Margaret was predeceased by her loving husband Edward in 1993, daughter in law Noreen Mozdzen in 1989, son in law Robert Kleemola 2003, sister Clara Bilski, brother Hank Turko.
She is survived by her children Jerry (Lillian), David (Karen), Marlene (Geoff) Chandler, Gail Kleemola, Ken (Evangeline), 11 grandchildren, 23 great grandchildren, brother Edward(Paulina) Turko, sister Edna Turko, sister Marilyn (John) Turner, in-laws Marjorie Mozdzen, Mike Mozdzen, Henry & Elsie Mozdzen
The Family would like to extend our appreciation to the Doctor and staff at the McCreary/Alonsa Health Centre for all their loving care. Your friendship and compassion was a great comfort to her as she made the transition to her new home.

With beautiful memories.

in your eternal Rest
