SHIRLEY ANN PODOLSKY (nee STRUMBICKY) August 25, 1946 - June 8, 2018 Peacefully after a brief illness, with family by her side, Shirley Ann Podolsky (Baba) passed away on Friday, June 8, 2018 at St. Boniface Hospital. Shirley was born August 25, 1946 in Vita, Manitoba. It is where she met and married Jarvis. They settled in a few places before finding a permanent residence in Dufresne, Manitoba. That's where they raised their three children. Shirley started out in construction trade of making stairs with her son Scott. After her husband Jarvis passed away, the family hobby farm was sold and she moved to the city and resided in a condo on Plessis Road. From there she started her own business of cleaning homes. She did some catering, as she loved to cook the traditional Ukrainian meals. Probably her proudest moments were spending time with her six grandchildren when it was time for "weekend at Baba's". She loved playing bingo, going to the casino and spending time with her family. Shirley leaves to mourn her passing three children: Annette (Joe) Tymchen, Scott (Kim) and Steven (Cynthia); six grandchildren: Kyle and Cassandra, Michael and Warren, Alex and Katie and two great-grandchildren, Lucas Caron and Olivia Sands; her mother Nellie Strumbicky, brothers, Barry Strumbicky, Angie (Darrin), Judy (Wayne) Baniuk, Margie (Glen) Yeryk. She was predeceased by her father John Strumbicky. As per her wishes, cremation has taken place and she will be laid to rest with her husband Jarvis. The family would like to thank the St. Boniface Hospital Renal Ward who looked after her dialysis, the nurses and doctors who looked after her while she was in hospital, as well as Greg Lussier and his home care team. Also her friends from her condo who would meet at the side door and sit and talk for hours in the summer. Thanks to David who was there for her and kept an eye on her for us when we could not. Flowers are gratefully declined. If friends desire, donations may be made in her name to the St. Boniface Hospital.

Our condolences to all of you. We were so sad to hear of Shirley's passing. I have so many good memories of Shirley. She was a good friend to me, as well as my mom, that doesn't happen often in life. Bingo and card nights, making perogies, petishke and cabbage rolls together, even chicken processing time! Many fond memories from when your home was in Dufresne. We also shared a love of gardening and flowers. She grew such beautiful roses. She was a very kind and beautiful person. She will be missed.
