MIRA PISKER 1936 - 2016 It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our loving Mom and Baka, Mira Pisker. As Mom, Mira will be lovingly remembered by her children Annie Brayley, Suzie McIntosh and husband Gord, Johnny Pisker and his wife Kathy-Ann, and as Baka by her beloved grandchildren: Mathew, Justine, Octavia, Hailee and Darian. She is also remembered dearly by her sister, Vikica in Germany with her daughter Ljiljana, her brother Marion with his wife Gina and their children Mario and Dolores in Austria and family in Croatia. Respectfully remembered by Ivan. She was predeceased by her parents Elizabetta and Pavao David. Mira was born June 29, 1936 in Sarajevo, Bosnia Herzegovina. Mira and Ivan fled Communist Yugoslavia; they were married in Austria in 1958 the same year they immigrated to Canada. She worked for several different offices over the years and Kildonan East High School as a Custodial Engineer. Baka loved going to the cottage with her family and all their friends. She was famous for her cookies and strudel. Everyone always looked forward to Christmas Eve for her seafood soup and sarme (cabbage rolls). She was extremely proud of her grandchildren and her greatest joy was spending time with them. We would like to thank the staff at Concordia Place Nursing Home. In honour of Mira donations can be made to the Alzheimer Society in lieu of flowers, or a charity of your choice. Prayers will be 7:00 p.m., Sunday, May 1, 2016 at St. Nicholas Tavelich Church, 2688 Main Street. Funeral Mass will be 10:00 a.m., Monday, May 2, 2016 at St. Nicholas Tavelich Church.
