MARIE ANNE WOJTOWICZ It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Marie Anne Wojtowicz (nee Malegus), who lost her battle with cancer December 11, 2017. She leaves to mourn her husband Stan, daughter Amber (Matt), son Gerrett, grandson Félix, and brother George. Marie was predeceased by her father John and mother Wasylyna "Lena". Mom was born June 30, 1957, at St. Boniface Hospital, and grew up in Oakbank. There, she met her husband Stan and the two were married April 30, 1977. Mom was extremely grateful to have remained well long enough to see her children grow up and to celebrate her 40th wedding anniversary with Dad, who remained at her side throughout her illness, holding her hand until she drew her last breath. A devoted employee, wife, mother, and grandmother, Mom worked tirelessly, but always looked forward to relaxing at the lake. During the summer, Thursday night was always spent packing because Friday night, it was off to the lake to spend some well-deserved time off her with the crew at Longbow Lake. A social butterfly with a hearty laugh, Mom liked to poke fun at her children for turning in long before she did whenever they came to visit. Mom loved her friends and her family fiercely, and no one more so than her grandson Félix, her "number-one guy". In her final days, nothing brought her more joy than telling him she loved him "to the moon" and waiting for him to eagerly respond "and back!" A Celebration of Life will be held Saturday, December 16, 2017, at 11:00 a.m., at Seasons Funeral Chapel, 576 Balsam Crescent in OakBank. The family would like to thank Mom's dear friends for their support, as well as the staff at CancerCare Manitoba and the palliative care ward at Selkirk General Hospital. Memorial donations can be made to CancerCare Manitoba. All your life you did your best. Now, Mama, rest. seasonsfunerals.ca

Marie was beautiful person with a wonderful attitude and a great attitude towards life. She was never too busy to stop and offer a smile and share a joke with me. She was smart and funny and running into her at work always put a little sparkle in my day. I miss you Marie. I'm a better person for having known you, and my heart breaks for your family's loss. - Posted by: David Watson (Coworker) on: Dec 14, 2017

Very saddened to hear of Marie's passing. She and I joked in saying "hello Marie" in passing at work and then would laugh. She had a great personality and was full of life. Rest in Peace my friend. - Posted by: Marie Larsen (coworker) on: Dec 14, 2017
