MARY MILDRED BERNTT (nee MROZ) Sadly on Sunday, March 3, 2002, Mary Berntt, aged 88 years, passed away at Seven Oaks Hospital. She was born in Allegra, MB on January 25, 1914 to Anastasia and Michael Mroz. Mary will be lovingly remembered by her only daughter Debbie and her two grandchildren, Matthew and Michael. She was predeceased by her husband August in 1961; brothers, Alex, Joseph, Casmir, Edward, Anton, John and her sister Stella. Mary began her teaching career in Ladywood, MB. She was loved by all of her students and they still visited her. She met August, was married and put her career on hold to become a homemaker and mother. After Augusts sudden death on December 24, 1961 she returned to teaching until she retired at age 65 from Winnipeg No. 1 School Division as an itinerant teacher. She soon started her new career, that of a doting grandmother. She loved to bake, play cribbage, and was an avid fan to almost every sport on television. She had a great sense of humour and was always up to date on the happenings of the world. CJOB has lost a listener.
