Send Flowers to the Family Offer Condolences or MemoryCHARLOTTE ANN FUNK (nee LOMMER) April 22, 1951 - October 25, 2017 On October 25, 2017 Charlotte passed away peacefully, with family by her side, at Grace Hospital in Winnipeg, at the age of 66 years old. Charlotte leaves to mourn, her loving children Garth Funk (Robyn Robertson) and Susan (Scott) Phimister, granddaughter Alexa Phimister, mother Margaret Lommer, sisters Lynne (Robert) Kardash and Marian (Earl) Golding, brothers James Lommer, Tom Lommer, Mark Lommer (Audrey), and many nieces, nephews, and cousins. Charlotte was predeceased by her husband Larry Funk, father Philip Lommer, brother-in-law Dennis Funk, and sister-in-law Gayle Funk. Charlotte was born on April 22, 1951 in Hafford, Saskatchewan. As a young girl she was a good student, a strong athlete, and a hard-working farm girl. She had an aptitude for math, which she followed through by studying accounting/bookkeeping and eventually finishing her career life at CIBC where she retired. After meeting Larry while he was working for CIBC in Hafford, she became a wife and mother who baked many a delicious apple or mud pie, snickerdoodle, and angel-food cake. Mom was always supportive no matter what endeavour we wanted to embark on. From Girl Guide leader to cheer mom to driveway hockey rink maker; which she undoubtedly knew would result in an unusable slippery mess. She sewed us whatever clothes or Halloween costume our little hearts desired, no matter how many late nights it took. One of our fondest memories of Mom is spending summers at the cabin in Kipabiskau, swimming, riding bikes, playing games, eating ice cream, and reading. We vividly recall her reading Charlotte's Web and Stuart Little to us before bed. Mom was a people person who loved her CIBC customers and co-workers, and thrived when surrounded by people. She was always genuine in her interactions with people and truly a great listener and conversationalist. Later in life Mom enjoyed puttering in the garden and flowerbeds, playing board and card games with family, cross-stitching, and Solitaire. We would like to thank the staff on the third floor at Grace Hospital, in particular nurses Andrea and Karen, and Dr. Bovell for their care and compassion when Mom needed it the most. A funeral service will be held at Mary Mother of the Church, 85 Kirkbridge Drive, Winnipeg on Friday, November 3 at 11:00 a.m. In lieu of flowers, a donation can be made to one of Mom's favourite charities, The Heart and Stroke Foundation, Lighthouse Mission or a charity of your choosing.

Charlotte and I worked along side one another at CIBC. She loved her customers, and they surely loved and appreciated the wonderful friendly service she gave all of them, often going that extra mile. Garth, Susan and families, I loved working with your mom, she was so caring. My thoughts and prayers are with you as you grieve her passing. - Posted by: April Braun (Friend/Co-worker) on: Oct 30, 2017

Sorry to read about Charlotte's passing. Something that many of her coworkers observed was her ability to serve her customer, and at the same time respond either to another customer or coworker. My thoughts are with you as you are grieving the loss of your mother, grandmother & friend, - Posted by: Dorothy Bergman (Former coworker ar CIBC) on: Oct 28, 2017
