August 10, 2004
MARY PICK Mary Pick (nee Prociuk), passed away peacefully at the age of 90 on Saturday, August 7, 2004 at Riverview Health Centre, in Winnipeg, MB. Mary is predeceased by brother Mike; and sisters, Ann and Margaret; also by husband William (Bill) Pick; son Leonard; daughter Barb; daughter-in-law Marcia; son Archie; and granddaughter Susan. Survived by sister Eileen; grandchildren, David (Christine) Kirsten (John), Jennifer (Chris); great-grandchildren, Jake and Luke; and many other extended members of the Pich and Prociuk families. Mary was born
in Stuartburn, MB on June 14, 1914. Her parents, Stephan and Nellie (Anastasia) Prociuk emigrated from Philpchia, Broschiu Ukraine. Mary was married to her lifelong love Bill on August 5, 1935 in Dauphin at Resurrection Ukrainian Church. Mary was the beloved and loving matriarch of our family. She was a wise, graceful and strong woman, who cherished life's joys, especially those shared with her family and friends. She was a woman of endless strength, who worked hard all her life, and yet never complained of being tired. Mary was a brave woman, who endured and thrived despite unbearable loss in her life. She enjoyed her long career as a dietician's aid for the Winnipeg Municipal Hospital from 1956 until she retired at 60. She was our grandma, our friend, our confidante and councillor, gardening pro and champion perogy-maker. Mary never tired of conversation, a good game of canasta and time spent with the people she loved. As her physical body aged, her spirit endured, in the sparkle of her eyes, in her sweet smile, and the soft giggle we will all miss so much. Above all else, Mary's kindness, selflessness and giving spirit set her apart from the rest. Her unconditional love and boundless generosity are a legacy to us all. Mary's spirit will live on in the hearts and lives of all who loved her. Donations can be made in Mary's memory to the Canadian Cancer Society or Riverview Health Centre. A celebration of her life will be held on Wednesday, August 11 at 11:00 a.m. in Thomson "In the Park" Funeral Home, 1291 McGillivray Blvd. A reception will follow in the Fort Garry Reception Centre.

JOHANNES TIMMERMAN
August 10, 2004
JOHANNES (JOHN) TIMMERMAN Papa John, Pappie, Johannes, Dad, grandpa, great-grandpa... no matter how you knew him, you knew he was a good man. As a dad, he cared and provided for his family. His efforts helped build a good home whose doors were always open to family and friends alike. Dad was born
in Holland in 1921, the ninth of eleven children. During the War years, John was deported to a labour camp where he met his beloved wife with whom he would have celebrated their 60th wedding anniversary next year. In 1955 he and his family immigrated to Canada where he would eventually work with Metropolitan Construction and then Qualico where he served as superintendent of plumbing and heating. John was a hard worker and a valued employee until his retirement. Much of his retirement allowed him the time to read, follow sports, relax and he loved the opportunity to spend time with his family. John was also a man who contributed to his community in a number of ways. He was a church council member at St. Casimir's Catholic Church, he volunteered many hours to the Lithuanian community and he was a gold drop recipient as a blood donor. Most importantly, John was a person who was honest and honourable, loving and caring. His support as a father, his joy of life, and his trusting good nature made him an unforgettable and special man. John is survived by his wife Tekle; his daughter Imeke (Jeff Kehr) and children John (Christine), David and Charlene; his son Algirdas and children Stephanie (Stewart Brick) and great-grandchild Zoe, Algirdas Jr. and Daniel, special friend Kendra; his son Marijus, wife Jennifer Moroz and child Lukas; as well as a large extended family in Holland. You will always be in our hearts, your voice will ring in our ears and your love will always shine in our lives. May God keep you until we meet again. The family would like to thank John's son Algis for his loving care of Dad and the staff at St. Boniface Hospital for their support and care. Prayers will be held 7:00 p.m. Wednesday, August 11 at Korban Funeral Chapel, 907 Main St. Funeral service will be held 12:15 p.m. Thursday, August 12 at St. Ignatius Church, 255 Stafford St. In lieu of flowers, donations in John's memory may be made to CancerCare Manitoba, 675 McDermot Ave., Winnipeg, MB R3E 0V9.

ILENE BAKER
August 11, 2004
ILENE BAKER Peacefully, on Sunday, August 8, 2004, at the Beausejour Health Centre, Ilene passed gently into the loving arms of Jesus. Ilene accepted her illness with courage and dignity, and with her typical selflessness, was more concerned about her family's welfare than her own. Ilene is survived by her loving husband of 52 years, Clarence. Also left to cherish her memory are her five children, Corrine (Bill) Armstrong, Debbie (Keith) Litke, Andy (Jan) Baker, Curt Baker and Terry (Lori) Baker. She will be deeply missed by her 11 grandchildren, Maria (Greg) White, Gina and Teresa Armstrong; Colette (Jason) Lindstrom and Jared Litke (Mary); Drew, Reid and Riley Baker; Rhianon and Joel Baker; and Allysa Baker; as well as her two great-grandchildren, Kevin and Nicolette Lindstrom. Ilene is also survived by her beloved brothers and sisters, Irene Steinke, Ted Weidman, Hilda Pfeifer, Herb Weidman, Ken Weidman, as well as numerous brothers-in-law and sisters-in-law, nieces and nephews. She was predeceased by her brother Roy; and two siblings in infancy, Wilhelm and Lillie; as well as several brothers-in-law and sisters-in-law. Ilene was born
in Friedensfeld, MB to Ferdinand and Emilie Weidman on July 15, 1931. At an early age, her family moved to Glenmoor where she attended school, helped raise her younger siblings, and quit school early to work hard on the family farm. As a young woman, she moved to Winnipeg on her own and worked at various jobs, often returning home bearing gifts for her younger brothers and sisters. One of her many jobs included cooking in the bush camps in the winter, where she caught the eye of a young man by the name of Clarence Baker. Not wasting any time, Clarence proposed a month later and they were married on September 22, 1951. They lived on the Baker homestead in Cromwell and raised their five children, working together to build the family farm. Their home was often the centre of lively gatherings for family and friends, and visitors were always welcome. Ilene was an independent, creative, resourceful woman with a deep inner strength and abiding faith. Her interests included cooking, baking, sewing, gardening, bingo, and later in life, travelling. Her greatest joy was her "Baker's Dozen" of grandchildren, of whom she was extremely proud. Mom has left us with a legacy of inner strength, perseverance, warmth and love. Her memory and teachings will guide us and will live on in our hearts forever. In accordance with Ilene's wishes, cremation has taken place. Prayers will be held at St. Mary's Roman Catholic Church, Beausejour on Wednesday, August 11 at 7:30 p.m. Funeral mass will be held on Thursday, August 12 at 10:30 a.m., also at the church. Fr.
