MARIA NICKEL
October 16, 2004
MARIA NICKEL Peacefully, on Thursday, October 14, 2004 our beloved mother, grandmother, and great grandmother Maria Nickel, passed away at the age of 94 years. Maria was born
June 19, 1910 in Osterwich, Ukraine to Johann and Margareta Dyck. She married Heinrich Nickel in 1931 and gave birth to two sons, Abram and Heinrich in Franzfeld, Ukraine. Maria's husband passed away in 1938, after which Maria moved her family to Germany. She was separated from her eldest son Abram in 1945. She and her son Heinrich moved to Paraguay in 1948, immigrated to Canada in 1955, and eventually settled in Winnipeg. They were joyfully reunited with Abram and his family in 1972. Maria worked for nineteen years in the garment industry until a severe case of meningitis caused her retirement in 1964. Maria went on to become a resident of Kingsfordhaus where she made many friends and always remained a strong member of the Mennonite community and church. She will lovingly be remembered by her two sons, Abram (Helen) and Henry, her niece Tina (Peter) Dyck whom she helped raise from a young age, as well as her many grandchildren and great grandchildren. Maria had a very special bond with her three grandchildren from Winnipeg - Kristin, Robert and Kathryn (children of Henry and Evelyn Nickel), who she sometimes referred to as her "kids". That special bond will live on in their hearts forever. Oma, we love you and we miss you. Always. A funeral service will be held Monday, October 18, at 10:30 a.m. at Springfield Heights Mennonite Church, 570 Sharron Bay, with viewing one-half prior. Interment to follow at Green Acres Cemetery.

MIRA SHEFF
October 16, 2004
CORRECTION TEXT ADDITION MIRA SHEFF Mira Sheff passed away on August 27, 2004, in St. Boniface Hospital. She was a beautiful, selfless person who exuded goodness and kindness and devoted her life to her family and her belief in G-d. Mira was born
in Slonim, Poland. When the Nazis invaded Slonim and murdered her parents and sister, she was saved by a gentile couple who gave her a home and a job in a restaurant on the Russian border. During the war she met the love of her life, Joseph Sheff, whom she had known while in Slonim. They married in Austria in 1945 and came to New York in 1948. They settled in Perrineville, NJ, where they owned an egg farm. Along with her husband Joseph, a kind and gentle man, she devoted her whole being to raising their daughter Sylvia, their pride and joy. MIRA AND HER FAMILY MOVED TO BELMAR WHERE JOSEPH AND SHE OWNED AND OPERATED AN AMUSEMENT BUSINESS. In 1978, Mira and Joseph moved to North Lauderdale, FL, where Mira continued to reside after Joseph passed away in May 1979. When Sylvia married Perry, her bashert in 1983, Mira spent her winters in Florida and summers in Winnipeg. Mira was a kind and loving person whose radiant smile reflected the generosity of her spirit, and everyone who had the privilege of meeting her found themselves enriched by her endless desire to give. Her fine-honed intuition was always attuned to the happiness of others, from welcoming children to the amusements to bringing together her daughter and future son-in-law. Despite the tragedies of her early life, Mira was always focused on the joy of building the future, instilling her family with a deep sense of religious values that would have made her own parents proud, and ensuring that religious values and values of loving kindness continued with her grandchildren. She was a woman who rebuilt the world. Mira is survived by her devoted daughter Sylvia Schulman and husband Perry; and her grandchildren, Brendan and wife Dara, Justin and Marlon. Mira rests beside her husband Joseph in Menorah Gardens in Fort Lauderdale. Funeral services were conducted by Rabbi Michael Gold of Beth Torah Synagogue in Tamarac. Mira's family wishes to express its gratitude to the doctors, nursing staff, assistant nurses and orderlies of St. Boniface Hospital as well as caregivers, Viole Longara, Victoria Saromo, Joy Bautista, Josie Baptista and the staff of the Home Care Program for their exceptional care.

in Winnipeg on December 2, 1963 and was an only child. We have lost a friend, husband, father, cousin and nephew. The heavens have found a new star. We will miss him every moment, every second, every breath. We will hear him whisper over our shoulder, expect to see him every time we turn around. Remember his beautiful laugh, his soft touch, his helpful nature. Our Fathers Shoes We remember our father's shoes. They seemed to us as children, terribly big and heavy, As though they had to match the size and weight of his responsibilities. We remember seeing the sole worn clear through, And a strange thought comes along with the memory. If we had held that shoe up and looked through that hole We could have glimpsed, perhaps, Something of our father's own soul, the courage that Let him stand for what he believed in, the strength in Which he carried himself; and in some sense carried us, Every step of the way. It seems you've spent a lifetime Looking out for your family, working hard, Being responsible and always trying to do the right thing. And just in case you've ever wondered If it was appreciated, it always has been and it always Will be more than words could ever say. You'll be forever in our hearts, - Love your children. At Shawn's request, cremation has taken place and no formal service will be held at this time. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Shawn's memory to an RESP for his children that will be set up at a later date. CROPO FUNERAL CHAPEL 586-8044

CYRIL WOOD
October 16, 2004
CYRIL KENT WOOD Peacefully on October 12, 2004, passed away at the age of 92. Born in Winnipeg, MB, May 25, 1912 Cyril eventually met and married Laura Shersby in October, 1935. At that time, Cyril's father had purchased a parcel of bush just north and east of Balmoral. Being the "dirty thirties" the young newly married couple had no other options but to move away from the city and begin the struggle to brush out a small mixed farming operation, build a home and raise a family. Anyone who knew Cyril knew of his great affinity for animals that ultimately made farming difficult for him! Every cow, workhorse, chicken and pig had much more value to him than mere "marketplace." Cyril was a "dog's best friend" and throughout his life he had many a stalwart companion. He will also be remembered by family and friends for his quiet strength and rich deep voice and laughter. In 1955, Cyril and Laura moved to a home and smaller acreage situated closer to Balmoral. Here they continued to raise hogs until the 1970's when Cyril began work as a Security Guard for Bristol Aerospace at their Propellant Plant east of Stonewall. He retired at age 65 and he and Laura began to enjoy much more leisure time at their beloved cottage at Laclu. Cyril was predeceased by his wife, Laura in 1998 and daughter June in 1976. He is survived by his son Wayne (Eileen) of Teulon; grandchildren, Wendy (Ron), Kent (Ruth), Sherry (Glen) in Manitoba and Sherry (Bob), Diane (Rick), Kim and Debbie in Ontario; and numerous great grandchildren. The family would like to thank Drs. Graham, Pillay and McTaggart, the wonderful nursing staff at Teulon Hunter Memorial Hospital and staff at the Teulon Medical Clinic, Cancer Care Manitoba and Winnipeg Health Science Centre. Cremation has taken place with MacKenzie Funeral Home in charge of arrangements. A private interment will take place at Victoria Cemetery in Balmoral at a later date. If friends so desire, donations may be made to the Teulon Hunter Memorial Hospital or Cancer Care Manitoba. "To everything there is a season"

CYRIL ZELICKSON It is with great sadness that the family announces the passing of Cyril Zelickson, beloved husband, father and grandfather, on October 11, 2004 at the St. Boniface Hospital at the age of 75. Cyril was born
the only child to Celia and Harry Zelickson. He was raised in Hirsch, SK and in the late 1940's moved to Winnipeg, where he met the love of his life, Bessie Fleisher. They were married in 1952 after a short courtship of six months. In 1954 they had their first child, Ken and in 1961, their second child, Pamela. For most of his working years, Cyril was in the scrap metal business and for a good portion of that time he was working at Industrial Metals. Retirement was a difficult adjustment for Cyril as he was used to being busy for so many years. Cyril's greatest passion then became spending time with his grandchildren, which remained a very important part of his life. One of his great loves was working out with his friends at the Wellness Institute where he developed many life long friendships. Cyril had a heart of gold and a magnetic personality that attracted everyone who came in contact with him. Cyril leaves to mourn his loving wife, Bessie (nee Fleisher); son Ken (Magda), grandchildren, Michelle and Kory; daughter Pam Kowall (Howard), grandchildren, Sarah and Ira. As well as his sisters-in-law, Miriam Fleisher and Arlene Rusk and brothers-in-law, Sidney Fleisher and Michael Rusk. He also leaves to mourn many relatives and friends that he met along the way. Pallbearers were Kory Zelickson, Ira Kowall, Jonathon Holt, Arthur Maister, Sam Kupfer and Don Gibson. Honorary pallbearers were Sidney Fleisher, Joe Elfenbaum, Mort Greenberg and Sam Swire. The family would like to extend their deepest appreciation to the wonderful and caring staff at the St. Boniface Hospital for looking after Dad.
