MARY ELLEN STAWYCHNY
Mary Ellen Stawychny (nee Judge) passed away peacefully on October 2, 2022 at home.
She leaves behind to forever cherish her memory, her husband of 37 years Danny and son Braeden. She also leaves behind her sister Joanne (Mike Stanley and family), sister Susan Judge, brother Tom Judge (Bonnie and family), brother-in-law Alan Shepard, and sister-in-law Tanya Stawychny.
Mary was predeceased by her mother Noreen, father Joseph, sister Verna and brother-in-law Allen.
Mary grew up in the west end of Winnipeg and attended General Wolfe Junior High and Daniel McIntyre Collegiate. She went on to complete her Bachelor of Education at the University of Winnipeg and her Post Baccalaureate degree in Special Education at the University of Manitoba. She taught for many years in the public-school system and then as an instructor at Red River College in the ACCESS Nursing Program until her retirement in 2016. A gifted athlete, Mary excelled in basketball and volleyball. She played two seasons for the University of Winnipeg Wesmen women's volleyball team before a knee injury cut her career short.
Her greatest joy was when her son Braeden came into her life. Mary loved family road trips to numerous destinations throughout Canada and the United States, many of them in the family motorhome whom they lovingly named Oliver. Camping at Hecla Island was one of her favourite spots. She loved her trips to Vegas and her trips to N.F.L. games, especially to see her beloved Vikings play. She loved our daily walks at Little Mountain Park with our furry friend Leo.
Through all walks of Mary's life, she developed strong friendships some of which have spanned over 50 years. She was extremely grateful for all of these relationships and thankful for all of the support she received.
A Celebration of Life for Mary will be held on Wednesday, October 26, 2022 at 1:00 p.m. at Neil Bardal Funeral Centre located at 3030 Notre Dame Avenue. A private family interment will be held at a later date.
In lieu of flowers please feel free to make a donation to the Manitoba Movement Centre or Children's Wish Foundation.
Mary's life journey was about the people she touched.

I am so very sad to hear about Mary's death. I often talked with Mary through our work. She was a wonderful teacher and colleague. I remember her for her smile, her laugh and her comforting manner. - Posted by: Leslie Walsh (Former co-worker at Red River College) on: Oct 21, 2022

Danny & Braeden, I'm so sorry your loss. You should have had many, many more years with Mary. I hope you find comfort in your memories at this time. Mary was truly one of a kind. A kind soul with a smile that could light up any room. Mary would come to my house occasionally to do art projects. They were always for someone else. Something for Danny, Braden or a friend that she wanted to know she was thinking about them. One of Mary's first projects was a sign. A quote I think sums up Mary perfectly. "People will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel." - Maya Angelou She had a way of making everyone she met, especially those she loved, feel special. I'm so happy that after a long time of not seeing each other, we reconnected over the last few years. I was proud to call her my friend. Mary, I will miss our conversations as we worked on crafts. The world seemed just a little less bright on the day you left. - Posted by: Susan Harrison (school friend) on: Oct 16, 2022
