IRENE JANICE WITT
(nee ZUBRICKI)
June 19, 1946 - May 29, 2021
Remaining to cherish her memory is her son Michael (Lisa); grandchildren, Abigail and Jack; brother Ernest (Marilyn) and dear friend Klaus. She will also be missed by many friends, including those who are part of Winnipeg's ballroom dance community which she became an avid member of over the past 25 years.
Mom devoted every day of her life to family, which was the most important thing in her life, as a daughter, wife, mother and grandmother. Nothing gave her life greater meaning and purpose than to be able to provide an amazing meal or to lend a helping hand or ear. Work was also an important part of her life, where she met many close friends and took great pride and satisfaction in a job well done. After she got married and moved to Steinbach she spent her early working years commuting to the University of Manitoba Veterinary Lab where she worked as a medical laboratory technologist. Later in life she worked on the Phlebotomy team briefly at Victoria Hospital and then for over 20 years at Health Sciences Centre until retiring in her 70s.
The family would like to express their gratitude to Denise Klassen and Dr. Czaykowski at Health Sciences Centre and to the National Institutes of Health in Bethesda, Maryland.
In lieu of flowers, please make a donation to a charity of your choice.
Irene will be laid to rest with her parents, Michael and Jean, at All Saints Cemetery with a private service.

Irene and I spent many hours talking and encouraging as we both went through divorce. We enjoyed each others company and I'm sure she is sadly missed by her beloved family. God be with you and give you His peace. - Posted by: Grace, Gus Kokoschke (friend) on: Jul 02, 2021

I came across Irene's obit today, very sad. We'll fondly remember her from Patricia's where she often danced with Klaus. Such a kind, soft spoken person yet certainly full of life. Great times we all shared! Condolences to the family. - Posted by: John Steves (Friend) on: Jun 27, 2021

Irene was a kind and gentle person. She was dedicated to her family. Her love of her son Michael was unconditional and her life revolved around the grandchildren Abigail and Jack. She will not be forgotten. Dance on Irene. Diana - Posted by: Diana McClymont (Old Friend) on: Jun 07, 2021

Michael and Lesia, I am so saddend for you and your family. I heard the sad news from Helen Marischuk, the lady with the perogies. I talked to your mom several months ago and she said she was not feeling very well. I have lost my dear friend and since I moved to Toronto I missed the visits with her. May the good Lord help you at this trying time. - Posted by: Hope Evanyshyn (good friend) on: Jun 05, 2021
