Obituary Overview
Mary Zasitko (nee Glitnak)
It is with deep sorrow and sadness the family of Mary Zasitko announce her passing on February 3, 2018.
Mary was predeceased by husband Bill in 2000. Surviving are her children Margie (Leif), Gloria, and Randy (Kristin), her grandchildren, Greg (Deanna), Holly, Justin, and Lauren – all of whom she was extremely proud, and her 6 precious “greats”. Mourning her loss are brother Bill (Lovey) Glitnak and sister Helen (Dan deceased) Torbiak, along with in-laws Helen (Bill deceased) Horodecki, and Theresa (Norman) Beckman, as well as numerous nieces, nephews and friends.
Mom was born August 10, 1931 in Saskatchewan. Married in 1950, Mom led an adventurous and busy life. Never shying away from hard work and devotion to raising their family, Mom and Dad’s journey took them throughout Manitoba, first farming and then owning and operating a number of small businesses. On occasion, Mom would strike out on an independent road, working at the Winnipeg Free Press and PharmaPlus.
Following Dad’s passing, a 4-legged companion entered her life. Shelby offered unconditional friendship and kept Mom busy and active with numerous walks and trips to Walmart for his food and special treats. His passing a few years ago left a hole in her heart.
Blessed with a sharp mind to the end, Mom was an avid reader, puzzle solver and formidable Scrabble player – not many could beat her.
As a testament to her character and strong will, Mom remained in her own home until days before she found her comfort and peace.
Thank you to all involved with her medical care. In lieu of flowers, Mom would love you to aid a furry friend with a donation to the Winnipeg Humane Society.
A memorial service will be held Friday, February 9, 2018 at 2:00 p.m. at Chapel Lawn Funeral Home, 4000 Portage Avenue. Interment will take place at a later date.
Our most sincere sympathies to the family and friends of Mary Zasitko 2018.source
