MARY LUCKO It is with deep sadness that the family announces the passing of our dearly loved mom, grandma, great-grandma, sister, aunt and friend. Mom passed away on January 3, 2016 at her home, The Ironwood, in Pinawa at the age of 88. Mom is survived by her six children; 15 grandchildren and six great-grandchildren. Patricia (Bill) Brokke, (Laura (Jason), Violet and Grace), Crystal (Jason); Lynda (Doug) Krampetz (Jeffrey, Carly (Scott), Matilynn, Annika and Jillian), Kevin; Angela (Bill) Loftus (Shawn, Matthew, Colin and Ryan); Brian (Claire), (Robin (Helen), Bronwyn and Adalyn); Raymond (Maureen), Christiana, Amy, Aaron; Doreen (Randy) Enns (Steven, Lisa (Mack)). She is also survived by three brothers, three sisters and numerous nieces, nephews and cousins. She was predeceased by her parents Joseph and Dorothy Meier, husband Ted, five brothers and four sisters. Mom was born January 11, 1927 on her grandparent's farm in Tramping Lake, Saskatchewan. She grew up on the family farm and later moved to Edmonton to find work. While there, she found the love of her life, Ted, at a dance. They married in 1954 in Edmonton and later moved to Winnipeg to raise their family. Mom was very devoted to her faith. She was an active member of the St. Joseph the Worker Catholic Church and of the CWL for over 50 years. She assisted our Dad with numerous activities including beekeeping (for which she won many provincial and national blue ribbons for the quality of their honey), farming, gardening, berry picking and canning. In her free time Mom loved to sew, crochet, quilt, jigsaw puzzles, and bowl. She had beautiful hand writing and penmanship and displayed it on the many cards and letters she loved to send. She enjoyed travelling (especially to Las Vegas) and spending time with family and friends at the summer cottage at Red Deer Lake. She was a kind, generous, loving and unique woman who will be sadly missed. She lived an incredible and adventure-filled life, brought warmth and laughter to whomever she met and always had a positive outlook. She touched the lives of so many and we are all better people for having her in our lives. The family would like to thank the health care aides, companions, and staff at the Ironwood. Thanks to the professional emergency staff and especially to Dr. Garg for his compassionate care of our Mom. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Mom's memory to the Heart and Stroke Foundation, 200-6 Donald St., Winnipeg, Manitoba R3L 0K6. Funeral Mass will be held on Saturday, January 9, 2016 at 11:00 a.m. at St. Joseph the Worker Parish, 505 Brewster Street, Winnipeg.

I was most sorry to hear of Aunt Mary's passing. I have fond memories of Aunt Mary's lovely written poems and stories written in her various letters and cards. And her wonderful honey that she would share. I also still remember her teaching me as a child to write with my non-dominant hand and to write backwards - of course I shouldn't have been practicing in my high school physics classes! Aunt Mary had a wonderful spirit and was very kind. I will miss her. My deepest condolences and prayers to all of you. Deb Meier - Posted by: deb meier (neice) on: Jan 12, 2016

Our prayers and hearts are with Pat, Bill, Laura, Jason, Crystal, Jason, Grace, Violet and all Mary's children and spouses & families, sisters, brothers, neices and nephews. Mary was a sweet and gentle lady who was a great mom and grandma. I remember the impecable handwriting in the messages that we received throughout the years and the kind words she always had for us. We are so blessed to have visited her at The Ironwood a couple of months ago. It was a pleasure and honour to have her in our lives and especialy for giving us our cherished lifetime friend Pat! You will always remain with us during our life's journey and we are sure we will meet again!
