Condolences & Memories (3 entries)

  • My sincere sympathies to Pat and Joyce and the extended families. I also remember meeting Mary as a very young bride when she and Bill lived in "Howden". She was cheerful and outgoing and a lot of fun. Met with the Masnyk and Skoleski clan in its entirety at that time. Vichnaya Pam Yat. - Posted by: Pearl (Masnyk) Salo (Cousin-in-law. Husband Bill was also my first cousin.) on: May 03, 2012

  • Aunty Mary you & Uncle Bill gave and left us many good memories for us & our families with many fishing trips and holidays, and anytime stopping in for a visit there was always enough for all of us to join you around the table. YOU left many good memories and will be missed by all. Love Diane & family. - Posted by: Diane Skoleski & Family (aunt) on: May 03, 2012

  • We extend our condolences to her daughters Pat and Joyce. You know, of course, that I have known your mother "forever", going back to the little old house across from our church in Howden, (St. Norbert). She was a beautiful woman, always a cheerful, classy lady and was always very kind to me. May she rest in peace. Vichnaya Pam'Yat.
