LAURA- LYNN MALASCHUK
(nee JACK)
November 1, 1953 - June 25, 2021
Laura is survived by her loving mother Lorraine, brother Danny (Maureen) and nephews, Fraser and Elliot.
She was predeceased by her husband and soulmate Rick, her dear Grandma Schmidt and beloved father Crawford.
Above all, Laura loved her family. She was always concerned about their well-being and was always there for them. She cherished her time and memories of summers spent at the family cottage at Gull Lake.
Laura exuded beauty from the inside out. Her beautiful blonde curly hair, her lively green eyes and radiant smile would light up a room.
She had a great sense of humour and the twinkle in her eye let you know she was part of a fun, mischievous prank or ready to tell you one of her adventurous life experiences.
Laura was very artistic, creative, kind, thoughtful, giving, caring, compassionate and astute. However, if she felt she needed to voice her opinion she definitely did.
Laura had a heart of gold and would not hesitate to help someone in need. Her love was unconditional.
She loved and enjoyed nature, whether it was plants or animals. While she was able she tended to her beautiful and abundant vegetable garden. Her backyard was like a park.
Laura had a soft spot for animals. She rescued many strays and made sure they went to caring homes. There was always bird seed for the birds. Her pet dogs, Pookie, Pegei and Angus gave her great joy, comfort and companionship.
Laura also loved children and being a teacher was a given. She was employed with the Winnipeg School Division for 30 years and spent most of her teaching career at Tyndall Park Community School.
Laura loved being a teacher and her students loved her. She exemplified what it was to be a wonderful teacher. She never hesitated to give her students a hug and always made them feel valued. It was so important to her that each of her students felt part of the family atmosphere she created in her classroom. Like Mother Earth, she embraced her students as if they were her own, guiding, nurturing and teaching them "The Golden Rule".
Laura met and married the love of her life. They enjoyed each other's company and complemented each other. Laura's happiest days were the time she had with Rick. A memorable time for them was a vacation to Puerto Vallarta where Rick and Laura danced their feet off. Unfortunately their time together was cut short by his untimely passing.
Laura will be deeply missed by family, friends and colleagues. Her cherished friends, Gail and Eleanor, have lost a true friend but have the memories of a great friendship. Laura is in her happy place with Rick. In her memory, continue with her legacy of giving hugs and unconditional love.
If you wish, make a donation to the Winnipeg Humane Society in Laura's memory.
As per Laura's wishes, cremation has taken place. There will be a private family service Thursday, July 8, 2021.

Having just finding out that Lauri, as I remember her by, brings a tear to my eye and a sadness to my heart that I never continued that relationship that a cousin could have had with the many years spent at her home and cottage at Gull Lake while I was growing up. They were the best of times but oh so short. May your memories of your loss Dan and Lorraine, be lightened by the all the good times that I remember we had of her. - Posted by: Stanley Geib (Butch) (Cousin) on: Jul 14, 2021

I’m so sorry to hear of the passing of Laura (Ms. Jack to me). She was my first teacher when I moved to Winnipeg 38 years ago. Grade 2 in the middle of the year. I was so scared and she made me feel so welcome and happy. I loved her beautiful blonde hair and the amazing curls she always had. I still remember the Father's Day gift she had us make that year. She’s unforgettable 💜 - Posted by: Sheila (Former student) on: Jul 03, 2021
