Send Flowers to the Family Offer Condolences or MemoryJOYCE ELIZABETH RAWLUK (nee NEW) August 28, 1921 - January 30, 2013 It is with profound sadness that we announce the peaceful passing at age 91 of our beloved mother, grandmother and great-grandmother, surrounded by her family at the Grace Hospital on Wednesday, January 30, 2013. Remaining to forever cherish her memory are her three sons Dale (Rose), Ken (Noreen), Wayne (Patricia) and daughter Donna (Archie). Her precious grandchildren Duane, Jennifer, Luke, Glen, Brandi, Karilee, Corey, Jessie and Trudie. Her great-grandchildren Sophia, Demitrius, Aritia, Michael, Brittney, Laura, Tianna, Hannah, Madeline, Johnny, Samantha and Quinn. Joyce was predeceased by husband Paul on January 28, 1988, her parents Arthur and Marie New and brothers John, Charles, Foster and Lawrence and her sister Doris and her great-granddaughter Ava. Mom was born on August 28, 1921, in Hazlet Saskatchewan, where she attended school and worked on the family farm. She moved to Fort William, Ontario, during the war years and worked at the airplane factory. She moved to St. Martin, Manitoba, in 1945, where she met our father Paul and was married later that year on October 20. They farmed for 27 years until moving to Winnipeg in 1972. Joyce enjoyed working at The Bay for numerous years until her retirement. It gave her great pleasure to spend time with her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren, particularly spending summers with her family at her cottage in Grand Beach. She took great pride after she retired in volunteering to drive seniors to their appointments through Broadway Seniors Association. She was also a dedicated member and volunteer for the chancellors guild of the St. Margaret's church for many years. Our mother enjoyed company and was a pillar of the family. Granny was admired by everyone she met. She was kind, loving and generous and had something good to say about everybody. Her positive outlook on life and unconditional love was infectious. The family would like to extend their special thanks to Yvonne Hofer for all the help and support she gave our mother. Our gratitude to Brenda, Karen, Margaret and Rebecca of St. Margaret's as well as the staff of the Grace Hospital for their excellent care. A memorial service will be held at St. Margarets Anglican Church, Monday February 4, 2013, 10:00 a.m. 160 Ethelbert St. Winnipeg, Manitoba. Donations may be made to the Heart and Stroke Foundation.

My sincere sympathy to the family. She will be sadly missed. I always enjoyed her sunny disposition and her interesting conversations. She had a gentle and loving soul. May she find peace and I am sure she is an angel in heaven as she was on earth. My thoughts are with you Donna, Archie, Cory, Jessie and Trudi. - Posted by: Debbie Leishman (Friend of Donna's) on: Feb 14, 2013

Truly one of the sweetest, truest people anyone could hope to meet. That was Joyce. We were lucky enough to live next door to her on Home Street for six years, during which time we shared many cups of tea and chats about our cats and our gardens. Joyce also told the most wonderful stories about her early days and her travels, and she remembered everything. It is a rare thing to see the wisdom of age combined with the spirit and curiosity of youth in one person, but Joyce managed to do that. She was interested in everybody, could talk to everybody, and never judged anyone badly. Such an example to us all. We are honoured to have known Joyce, and will never forget her lovely face and her beautiful presence. Missing her so much. Condolences to the family. - Posted by: Pamela Johnson and daughter Holly Kindzierski (Friends) on: Feb 05, 2013

Mrs. Rawluk, our closest neighbor in St. Martin was also my God-Mother and I will always have a special place in my heart and memories of her. Donna, Wayne, Kenny & Dale, I send you all my love and condolences and wish I was there to pay my tribute in person. Donna & I used to get in some trouble growing up, but your Mom always scolded us but with lots of caring & understanding. I have nothing but great memories of our time growing up.

Our sincere condolences to Dale, Kenny, Wayne, Donna and families on the loss of your dear Mother. We remember her when she used to live on her farm with husband uncle Paul and family in the Van Dusen area which is in the Gypsumville/St.Martin district. She was always such a cheerful and loving Aunty towards us when we were kids. It's hard to find people like that anymore these days. We just loved to go over with our parents for a visit to her place on the farm because Aunty Joyce was an excellent cook and baker, and always had such tasty meals and baked treats to enjoy. And I'll tell ya, us kids sure did. What we really remember as well, was her never ending kindness she always showed towards everyone. A loving soul like that would surely have earned a place in Heaven without doubt. We know you are their Aunty Joyce, and by the grace of God our Creator, one day we will see you again. You were a wonderful soul here on earth, and now an angel in Heaven. Truly, you will be missed by all who knew and loved you. Rest in peace Aunty Joyce. - Posted by: Michael, Allan & Colleen Szklaruk (Nephews and niece) on: Feb 03, 2013

Our condolences to Dale, Ken, Wayne, Donna and families. I am sorry to hear of the passing of Auntie Joyce. I remember visiting Winnipeg as a child, and how excited my Dad would be when his family would come to visit in Saskatchewan, and later B.C. I am the proud keeper of the quilt Auntie Joyce made for Florence and Charlie New. It has a place of honor in our spare bedroom. We are thinking of you at this time. - Posted by: Janice & Gord Johnson (New) (Niece Daughter of Charlie & Florence New) on: Feb 02, 2013
