MARIA WERTEPNY
(CHOWANIAK)
Born: November 22, 1942, Poland
Passed: February 14, 2021, Winnipeg, MB
She was a hard worker and functioned multiple jobs in Winnipeg, eventually even started her own business, 'Bison Cleaning' with her partners until they decided to sell the company. She mainly worked at Motor Coach Industries with her husband until she decided to retire in 2008.
Maria loved to cook and make delectable dishes for her guests as she loved to host gatherings with family and friends. We will always remember her favourite dish to cook, her famous garlic butter shrimp, perogies and a variety of desserts, among many other things that were always delicious. She also had a notable love for gardening, both at her home and at the cabin. You could easily say that flowers grew wherever she went.
Maria enjoyed fishing and spent every weekend in the summer doing so accompanied by Jozef while visiting her cabin in Redditt, Ontario.
We now reflect back on old memories and will always laugh at how the two of them loved to fish but disliked the taste of them. She had many passions that brought her much joy, but above all spending time with her family held the closest and most special place to her heart. The last 13 years of her life were spent living at Middlechurch Nursing Home, where she peacefully passed away in her sleep after facing difficulties with Leukaemia.
She will be greatly missed and forever
loved by her family and friends.
We will always cherish the beloved
memories we have with her.

I will cherish her stories about dinners with her family and about how she loved to cook. She always had her cough candies near by and would always thank me after our nightly visit during med pass. A very beautiful woman one I will never forget. My condolences to the family!💖 - Posted by: Angela Harper (Care giver) on: Jun 07, 2021
