Jessie Galaugher
July 31, 2003
JESSIE ELIZABETH GALAUGHER (nee CRERAR) July 2, 1914 - July 26, 2003 With heavy hearts we grieve the peaceful passing of our mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, aunt and friend, Jessie Galaugher, in the early morning of July 26, 2003. Jessie (Jaye), born
in Goven, SK in 1914, delighted in telling stories of her childhood of growing up in Clandeboye where her parents raised Clydesdale horses, of winters spent around the fireplace with her father reading Dickens, of Christmas mornings with her siblings, of snowshoeing all night with friends to have breakfast at her uncle's cabin, of schoolgirl mischief and teenage romance. She also shared with friends and family stories of her trying but rewarding years raising her children on Radford Street while working as a head nurse of the ICU at Misericordia General Hospital, from which she both graduated in her early twenties and retired in 1979. She also loved to tell of her many summer adventures that came of driving her way to British Columbia for family visits, visits to Matlock, camping in the Whiteshell, and of her winter escapades with friends to the more exotic Mexico, Cuba, Jamaica, and Hawaii. Whether it was during the annual summer visits from her son Peter, the frequent outings with her daughter Lynne, the Sunday dinners at her son Brent's, or the regular Crerar Clan reunions, Jessie enjoyed the company of her family and took great pride in being its wise and seasoned matriarch. Her fascination with history and politics, her love of literature, appreciation of nature, and interest in sports and current events combined with the richness of her personal experience and her relentless sense of humour made her a captivating conversationalist and an inspiring example of courage and of the fullness of life. Jessie was predeceased by her parents, Peter (1928) and her mother Clara (1969); her husband Bud (1970); her brother Stewart (1978); sister Jean (1994); and brother-in-law Bert Hall (2002) and also her cousins, Wilda, Harvey and his wife Mabel, Bill and his wife Alice and Sheila and Keith. Through her spirited and colourful stories, Jessie kept the memory of these generations alive, and will, in turn, be lovingly remembered by those who survive her: her children, Lynne (Greg), Peter (Mary) and Brent (June); grandchildren Jodie, Lindsey, Shawn, Heather and Glen; Jolen, Tara and Bryan; and great-grandchildren, Kevin, Alyssa, Kirsten and Courtney; and by her special nieces, nephews and cousins, Dave, Joan and Sue; Mary Jordan; Linda, Tom, John and Cheryl; Jake, Karen and Randy; Gail and James, and also by Tommy in Victoria and Linda in Saskatoon. While her keen intelligence, sharp wit, broad-minded tolerance, light-hearted optimism, unswerving support, and remarkable strength and independence will be sadly missed, our heavy hearts will be lifted by the sweetness of her memory. Funeral service will be held on Thursday, July 31 at 1:00 p.m. in Neil Bardal Inc, entrance on Aubrey Street, with interment to follow in Elmwood Cemetery. NEIL BARDAL INC. 949 - 2200

Woldemar Goerz
July 31, 2003
WOLDEMAR GOERZ On Monday, July 28, 2003, after a valiant five years and seven months struggle with cancer, Woldemar Goerz died at home, surrounded by his loved ones. He is survived by his beloved wife, Elfriede and three daughters, Linda and Brian Dyck, Sandra and Robert Dyck and Irene Goerz and Don Ledwos; grandchildren, Natalie and Trent Giesbrecht, Ashley and Ryan Wozniak, Ellie Dyck, David Dyck, Rachel Dyck, Jessica Pikel, Justin Pikel, Hope Goerz-Ledwos and Nicole Ledwos. He is also survived by his brother Peter and Susa Goerz; sister Irene and Jacob Gunther, numerous half brothers and sisters; aunts, Sara Driedger, Hella Peters and Lise Shamei; in-laws, Art and Irene Dyck, Harry and Mary Ann Loewen, Viktor and Betty Loewen, Korny and Irene Loewen and extended families. Woldemar was predeceased by his parents, Peter and Maria (nee Goossen) Goerz; by his father and mother-in-law, David and Maria Loewen; brother Walter Goerz; uncle Carl Driedger, and a half-brother in Russia. Woldemar was born
on August 20, 1932 in Schoensee, Russia. Due to the ravages of war, his early years were extremely difficult, but when he immigrated to Canada from Russia through Germany in 1949 at the age of 17, his life totally changed. Arriving all alone in Canada, he was welcomed into his aunt and uncle's home, where he was encouraged to pursue the trade of welding that he would practice and love throughout his working career. This gave him an opportunity to travel throughout Canada, his adopted homeland. He eventually chose to stay with Manitoba Hydro where he worked and shared his knowledge for 33 years at the Selkirk Generating Station from where he retired in 1993. Woldemar was baptized in the Mennonite faith, and joined the North Kildonan Mennonite Church at the age of 20. He later met the love of his life, Elfriede Loewen, whom he married in 1957 and they shared 46 years and eight days of love and friendship. They had three daughters who brought them much happiness throughout the years and he was blessed with an opportunity to have a childhood alongside with his children. He was totally dedicated to his family, as a loving husband, father and grandfather. Woldemar and Elfriede travelled on numerous vacations, camping trips and weekend trips, all with family and friends. He enjoyed individual sports like swimming, cross-country skiing, cycling, but running marathons was his passion. He successfully completed a number of marathons held here in Winnipeg, but the highlight was the completion of the Boston Marathon. After suffering a serious industrial accident in 1985, and spending three months on the Burn Ward at Health Sciences Centre and one and one half years of physiotherapy, Woldemar still completed a full marathon in 1989, and a half marathon in 1990. His survival skills, endurance and perseverance were severely tested these last five years and seven months as he underwent aggressive treatments in his battle to survive cancer. His grace and dignity throughout his entire battle have been an inspiration to all who came in contact with him and cared for him as he fought to remain with his loved ones. The family extends heartfelt thanks to Dr. John Foerster, Tang and Carrie at the St. Boniface Oncology, family physician, Dr. Doermer, and numerous palliative care workers. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to CancerCare Manitoba, ON 109-675 McDermot Ave., Winnipeg, MB R3E 0V9, or Fire Fighters Burn Fund, 303-83 Garry St., Winnipeg, MB R3C 4J9.
