ADELINE FRANCES PESTO (nee PIOTROWICZ) November 12, 1919 February 27, 2019 Peacefully, on February 27, 2019, Adelene (as she preferred to spell her name) passed away at the age of 99 into the loving arms of Jesus at the Convalescent Home of Winnipeg, where she resided for the past three and one half years. She is survived by her son Johnny (Lois) and grandchildren, Loreen (Jan) Mazur, Scott (Heather) and Michael (Janine); her sister Phyllis Van Haute-Johnson and numerous cousins, nieces and nephews. She was predeceased by her parents, Henry (1963) and Frances (1984); brothers, Norman Piotrowicz (1974), Ferdinand Peterson (2010); sisters, Gertrude Theobald (2003) and Florence Belza (2017). Adelene was born in Winnipeg on November 12, 1919. In her younger years, Adelene worked as a candy-maker at Galperin Candy and later at Eaton's Candy Factory. She spent many hours gardening and tending to her flowers, especially her roses and geraniums, and you could always pick out her apartment from ground level by the gardens appearing on her balcony. She enjoyed the opportunities provided as a life-member of CPAC, playing Bingo, taking group bus trips, going to club picnics and especially enjoyed the music and dancing at CPAC events with family and friends. She was a kind and loving mother and grandmother and will be deeply missed. Thank you to the Convalescent Home of Winnipeg for their great personal care given mother these past few years. A great big heartfelt thank you to all the staff on the 3rd floor, especially Isaac and Pat who could always put a smile on mother's face. A funeral service will be held on Thursday, March 7 at 10:00 a.m. at Cropo Funeral Chapel, 1442 Main St. Interment to follow at Holy Ghost Cemetery, 4387 Main St., West Saint Paul, MB. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in memory of Adelene to the Convalescent Home of Winnipeg, 276 Hugo St. N, Winnipeg, MB R3M 2N6, http://www.tchw.com/index
