Send Flowers to the Family Offer Condolences or MemoryFRANCES JACULAK (nee SMIDT) April 7, 1922 - March 26, 2018 Peacefully, Frances Jaculak passed away at the Park Manor Care Home, just 12 days short of her 96th birthday. She was born in Arnaud, MB, moving to Winnipeg after marrying Maurice, June 1, 1945. She leaves to mourn her passing son Larry (Bev); daughter Valerie Regelous (Jim); grandchildren, Dallas, Amber, Trevor, Kevin, Amanda, Ryan and Joshua; great-grandchildren, Nicholas, Alyssa, Dylan, Aiden, Keely, Hadley, Alexis, Parker, Jase, Jax, Krew and Archer; brothers, William (Trudy) and Adolf (Gail); daughters-in-law, Heather and Irene; and many nephews and nieces. She is preceded in death by her husband Maurice; sons, Douglas and Robert; parents, Adolf and Valeria; brother Leon; sisters, Emily, Tillie, Mary and Vickie. In addition to her role as a housewife, Mom also worked outside the home at Paulin Chambers and catering. At the age of 58, she took and passed a secretarial course and got a job with Age & Opportunity Inc. where she worked until she retired at 65. In her spare time Mom's hobbies included knitting, crocheting, needlepoint and sewing. She loved to play cards and many an evening was spent at the kitchen table playing rummy. Mom also loved to cook. When you stopped in to visit you could hardly get your coat off and she was putting out a spread of food for you to eat and you couldn't leave without her giving you a container of cookies or muffins or other goodies to take home. If you declined, it was "take it home for the kids". She endeared herself to all that knew her through her cheerful disposition and sense of humour. She was a loving wife, mother, grandmother and great-grandmother who cherished her family. The family would like to thank the staff at Park Manor Care for their kindness and compassionate care. Funeral Liturgy will be celebrated on Monday, April 2, 2018 at 11:00 a.m. at St. Joseph the Worker Parrish, 505 Brewster St. Private interment at a later date. Flowers are gratefully declined. If family and friends so desire, donations may be made to the Canadian Cancer Society, 193 Sherbrook St., Winnipeg, MB or Manitoba Heart & Stroke Foundation, 1379 Kenaston Blvd., Winnipeg, MB.

Frances was our neighbour for a few years and a real pleasure to have known. I’m sad to see she has passed but I know she had a full life. We kept in touch for several years after she moved ... she had a sharp wit and was fun to talk to. I loved watching her toil around the yard and garden, tending to her flowers, etc. She really taught me a lot about all the perennials in our yard as well as new ones we bought. My daughter Rowan has some great memories of Frances as well. When Rowan would wander over there Frances would bring out a bucket of old toys. Frances made Rowan a needlepoint decoration with her name on it that we hang on the tree every year as well as a pumpkin needlepoint that comes out every Halloween. It’s nice that she’s become part of our holidays and is firmly planted in Rowan’s memory. We love you Frances!❤️ PamElla, J.P, & Rowan - Posted by: Ella Maurstad (Neighbour 2007, 2008, 2009) on: May 06, 2018

I remember working with Fran many years ago. She was so much fun to be around and always made the best of every situation. Even though there was quite a difference in our ages, Fran always made me feel like I was with a much younger woman and I enjoyed every moment I spent in her company. Fran made this world a better place and I am so proud to have known her for the brief time that I did. My condolences to her family. Rest in peace Fran, until me meet again. - Posted by: Heather (Friend) on: Mar 31, 2018
