About	JOANNE HUSIAK It is with sorrow that we announce that Joanne, our Mumsy and Baba, passed away in her sleep on August 24, 2022 at the St. Boniface Hospital, Winnipeg, MB. Mom will be missed by her children Tanya (Kevin) and Jason, and her beloved granddaughter Marisa (Dustin). Mom was predeceased by her husband Lawrence Husiak and her parents Lena and John Zelenewich. A north end girl, mom went to school at Sisler High School. Shortly after graduating she worked at Lee Burn where she met dad and soon after they were married in 1962. After finding their dream home in East Kildonan, mom and dad settled in to raise Tanya and Jason, and eventually played a big part in raising their granddaughter, Marisa. Mom loved to cook and collect cookbooks, handbags and crystal, and take care of family pets Scamp and Pepsi. She loved her home, her flower beds, and all the neighbours she and dad made close friendships with. Mom would return to work outside the home for several years at the River East School Division. Mom frequently spoke of her parents, uncles and aunts, and life in Winnipeg in the 50s and 60s. She loved to look at old photos and even had a painting of her Baba's summer home in rural Manitoba that her dad built. She also was very fond of her excursions with her friends and frequently spoke of lunches and coffees with them. Mom liked to keep in touch with family members and frequently spoke to old neighbours and friends. Their visits and conversations especially picked her up her spirits. The family would like to thank St. Boniface and Seven Oaks Hospital staff for their care and compassion towards mom. Mom's ashes, along with Dad's, will be interred at All Saints Cemetery as per her wishes. Mumsy may you find ever lasting peace and love with Dad in heaven.
