Zoë Cornelia Winkler nee Smith, born in 1957. On the morning of March 4th, 2020, after a four-month battle with cancer, Zoë passed away, surrounded by family at the Agape Manor aged 62. Zoë is survived by husband Robert, children Joshua (Jennifer), Jessica (Jeffrey) Huynh, and Matthew (Vaughn), her siblings Sjana (Wayne) Jackett, Chuck (Patricia) Smith, and Madalen Smith (Dana), her mother Corrie Smith, three grandchildren, and two dogs. She was predeceased by her father Charles Norman Smith, and son Zachary Georg Winkler, and a host of animals. Zoë was born in Portage la Prairie, MB and lived in Calgary, AB, where she worked for the Calgary Board of Education as an educational assistant. Together with Robert her husband of 36 years, they raised their four children. Those who knew Zoë know that she poured her heart into whatever she did. She was incredibly creative and used several mediums. Whether she was drawing, working with clay, felt or glass, her artwork was always a beautiful reflection of what she wanted to create. Her passion for cooking, whether catering for her business or a family gathering, the food was always warming and delicious – it brought people together. Her love of all sewing from mending clothes to quilting was always done with love and with a purpose. Zoë’s love, memory and passion are much like her creations both treasured and timeless always and forever. Zoë’s family will host a celebration of life on May 9th, 2020, from 1:00 to 4:00 pm at the Crossroads Community Association, 1803 14th Ave NE, Calgary, AB. In lieu of flowers, the family has designated The Alberta Children’s Hospital for memorial contributions. Special thanks go to the South Health Campus – Pulmonary Diagnostic Clinic, the staff at the Agape Manor, the Tom Baker Cancer Centre, and Abigail with the Palliative Home Care Services.
Our most sincere sympathies to the family and friends of Zoe Cornelia Winkler 2020..
