NELLIE KLIPS May 15, 1918 - May 2, 2018 Just days before her 100th birthday, Nellie went to be with her Lord and Saviour. Nellie and her husband Jack owned and operated the White Swan Bakery in Thunder Bay for many years. Nellie was devoted to her family, later moving to Winnipeg to be with us. She loved gardening as well as cooking her special Ukrainian dishes. She loved to knit and do puzzles. She is survived by her son George (Susan) Klips; grandchildren Ryan (Carrie) Klips and Lori (Glen) Jede; great-grandchildren Meghan and Taylor Jede and Lauren and Blake Klips, as well as several nieces and nephews. She was predeceased by her husband Jack; daughter Carol Van Horne; granddaughter Jacqueline Cooper; brothers Orest, Mark and Louis; sisters Helen, Louise and Corey. The service for Nellie will be held on Wednesday, May 9, 2018, 10:00 a.m., at Green Acres Funeral Home with Pastor Richard Quiring officiating. Our special thanks to all the staff at Kildonan Personal Care Home for their amazing special care of Nellie for these last few years.

I had the great pleasure to meet Nellie at Kildonan Place. She was a charmer and told the greatest stories about her childhood, the times at the bakery (she said, looking back they were good times), and her pride in and love for her grandchildren was so obvious - her eyes sparkled when she spoke of them. I know you will miss her, she was a lovely and very special person. - Posted by: Lynda Mohamed (Friend of Nellie) on: May 07, 2018
