ARDEEN SOKALSKI
(DANDY)
She was predeceased by her parents, Henry and Edna Dandy, husband Edward and her sister Glenna.
She leaves children, Derek (Janet), Monica (Scott) and Michael, grandchildren, Janna (Adam), Courtney (Matt), Rayna (Sheldon), Shawn, and Emma and great-grandchildren, Harper and Landon.
Mom was a farm girl at heart. She had many fond memories of life on the farm. Her face always lit up when she recalled stories of her days on the farm. She had a special bond with her father Henry.
In 1955, mom married Edward Sokalski. She gave birth to three children in the 60's, Derek, Monica and Michael. Dad was in the RCAF and mom and dad had frequent moves due to his job. They spent time in Winnipeg, Calgary and Trenton in early years and then settled again in Winnipeg in 1969. Mom had been a Charleswood resident since.
Mom was in charge of shuffling three children around to a variety of sporting events, while managing her teaching career. She would race home at lunch to feed us and then quickly back to school. Mom taught in what was the Assiniboine South School Division and spent time at Westgrove and Beaverlodge Schools.
In 1989, she took a leap and purchased Roblin Park Daycare. She was director / owner of the daycare for 30 years. Mom helped raise many children in her careers as an educator and daycare director. She was also involved with Roblin Park Community Club for a time as Ringette Coordinator.
Her passions in life also included the Winnipeg Blue Bombers, horse racing with her son Mike and curling. Mom especially loved to listen to the Bomber call-in show on CJOB.
There is to be no funeral. A private family ceremony will take place at a later date. Donations may be made to CancerCare Manitoba.

I was so sorry to hear of the loss of your mom. Even though we haven't been in touch for quite some time, your family and your mom were a part of many happy visits while we were growing up. I'm sure my brother Kent feels the same and would want to join me in offering our deepest condolences to your family during this difficult time. May your memories of Ardeen and the love you share comfort you. Sincerely, Karen & Kent Joseph - Posted by: Karen Joseph (Family friend) on: Mar 24, 2020

Sincere sympathy on the loss of your mother, grandmother and great- grandmother. I have thought of you kids and Ardeen many times. We had many good times together and somehow we drifted apart over the years. I hope you are all doing well and may love surround you during this difficult time. Sincerely, Gina (Joseph) Mayer & Al Mayer - Posted by: Georgina (Joseph) Mayer (Friend) on: Mar 24, 2020

My condolences to the family. As a young friend of Derek’s a few doors down on Charleswood Road, I spent many hours in and around your home. I have fond memories of these times and I can attest to your Mother not just driving her own kids around but other kids such as myself. Your home was always a welcome place for me.
