BERNICE WILMA PRETEAU (née: MYSLICKI) Unexpectedly, on Friday, January 29, 2016, Bernice Preteau of St. Malo passed away at the age of 78, at the Health Sciences Centre in Winnipeg. She was predeceased by her husband Fabien; and will be lovingly remembered by her children, Gerald (Cathie), Marcel (Rebekah), Eugene (Deedee), Diane, Nicole (Marc) Chartier, and Carol. She will be missed by her 15 grandchildren: Nancy (Dan), Adam, Ciara, Jason (Kelsey), Ben (Catie), Curtis, Richard (Kelsey), Amanda (Justin), Jean Patrick, Alan (Casey), Cory, Ardan, Paul, Leanne, John; and two great-grandchildren. Also mourning her loss are her sister Eleanor (Bill Komadowski); brothers Ted (Rose), and Edward (Cecile); brother-in-law Paul Chanas; sisters-in-law Lauriana (Oscar) Audette, and Annette Forest; and many nieces, nephews and friends. In her earlier years, Mom shared Dad's enthusiasm for the outdoors; fishing and camping with the family were regular events. She always enjoyed lending a helping hand whenever and however she could. Some of her most cherished moments included family gatherings surrounded by her children and grandchildren. The family would like to express our sincere thanks to the staff at the Chalet Malouin, the STARS Medical Team, and the staffs of the Morris Hospital, the St. Pierre EMS, the R.C.M.P., and the Steinbach Family Medical Centre. Prayers will be held Friday, February 5, at 10:30 a.m., with the Funeral Mass to follow at 11:00 a.m., at the St. Malo Roman Catholic Church in St. Malo, Manitoba. Father Dominic La Fleur will celebrate the Mass. Interment of her cremated remains will take place at a later date. LECLAIRE BROTHERS 475 Provencher Blvd in care of arrangements, 204-775-2220

Condolences & Memories (6 entries)

  • Bernice was a strong happy person. Always helping her kids and grandkids. Fabien and her were a match made in heaven. They both loved nature and wildlife. Bernice loved to collect things like dolls, pins and had the most extensive collection of newspaper clippings of events that happened in and around St. Malo, she even started a collection of peoples nicknames in town, because some people were know by their nicknames and she was wondering what was their real name and why were they given that nickname, it was quite interesting. You will be missed, our deepest sympathies go out to her family and friends. I'm sure you'll keep a watchful eye on them. May God Bless you. - Posted by: Noel & Rose Preteau (Friend of Family) on: Feb 05, 2016

  • Ma Tante Bernice became my care provider when we moved to St. Malo and mom started working full time. I was in Grade 2 at the time. I suspect that sometimes she would have her fill of us when we (Gerry, Marcel, Eugene and I) would take over the house chasing each other around so she would send us outside to explore the various wildlife that seemed to accumulate at the Preteau residence. Ma tante Bernice would open her heart and her home to all the small animals that needed shelter at one time or another. The list is extensive; from dogs, cats, pheasants, crows, to even a couple of baby foxes! She was always ready to feed them as well as the kids! I have many fond memories of her that will never fade! Rest well ma tante! You will always be in my heart! - Posted by: Robert Courcelles (nephew) on: Feb 03, 2016

  • I loved going to see her, she always had interesting stories about the past and days gone by, she was always so friendly, caring, and thankful for everything we did for her no matter how little it was. She was an amazing lady and she will be dearly missed - Posted by: Hayley (Home Care worker) on: Feb 02, 2016

  • Sincere sympathies to the whole family. George & I got really close to Bernice when George & Fabien hung out together. You are all in our thoughts and prayers. - Posted by: George & Aline Pilotte (Family friends) on: Feb 02, 2016

  • Met Bernice 8 years ago when I moved to the Chalet, we became very close friends, Bernice, with her other friends and myself had many happy hours together which will always be a memory. We tried different restaurants in the province, when Bernice was not able to drive any longer happy hours still carried on more so as always she had moved into the Chalet then she didn't need to worry about driving home. - Posted by: Rose Bodz (very close friend for a short time --- 8 years) on: Feb 02, 2016
