CLEMENTINE JOSEPHINA (TINY) VERNAUS Suddenly on Friday March 11, 2005 at home, Clementine passed away at the age of 73. She is lovingly remembered and will be greatly missed by her husband of 51 years, Peter, her children Yvonne (Garry), Humphrey (Pam) and James (Nicole), her grandchildren Halie, Cassandra and Katelyn, and her step grandson Allan.

Clementine Klarwassar was born in the Netherlands May 6, 1931, where she met and married Peter Vernaus in 1953. That same year they emigrated to Canada, arriving in Winnipeg where they succeeded in building a life together. In addition to being a devoted wife and mother, Tiny volunteered as a Brownie leader and at the Victoria Hospital. In 1972 they built Winnipeg Speedway and Tiny was a fixture behind the concession stands until the racetrack was sold in 1994. Family was everything to Tiny. Her children were her life, she was devoted to supporting everything they did and took great pride in their many accomplishments. Becoming an Oma meant the world to her, and she spent many hours enjoying the company of her grandchildren. She traveled extensively with her family, visiting friends and relatives in Europe, and vacationing and attending car races in the United States. Summers were spent at the family cottage at Wendigo, where one of her favorite activities was sitting around the campfire, surrounded by friends and neighbours, talking or playing cards until the wee hours of the morning. She was a very creative person, and spent many hours gardening, knitting, crocheting, quilting, and other crafts. Her home was her sanctuary, and she spent many hours decorating it with memories of her life in Europe and Canada. Pallbearers will be Robert Comeault, George Frame, Rudy Kessen, Pat Mooney, Harry Pellaers, and Peter Vernaus. Funeral service will be held on Thursday, March 17 at 11:00 am at St. Vital Roman Catholic Church, 1629 Pembina Highway, with Rev. Patrick A. Morand presiding. Interment to follow at the Fort Garry Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Clementine’s memory to the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Manitoba.

TEKLA (TEENIE) SEMINCHUK (KAZMER) Affectionately known as Baba, Teenie passed away March 10, 2005 - Thursday evening, at Grace Hospice. Teenie was born in 1909 in Koziwka, Tornopole, Poland, and she immigrated to Winnipeg, MB, in 1929.

Life was not easy in the early 30s, and Mom did her share to provide for her family. She was employed for several years in sewing factories and later at a vegetable garden. She was an inventive cook, and memories of some very delectable dishes linger still. Learning on the job, she also became a very good seamstress, and Mom fashioned many stylish dresses for us. Mom also became a valuable partner in Minchuk Caterers, and she was respected by all who worked with her under her supervision. Mom was an avid gardener, and her gardens became showplaces both for flowers and produce. Her love of flowers was skillfully reproduced in her needlework. Her cooking skills were well-known, and her holopchi and and dill pickles were in demand for socials and banquets at Proshvita Hall. She was a longtime member of Lesia Ukrainka Women's organization at Proshvita and a founding member of Sts. Peter and Paul Church. During the big 50s flood, she managed a canteen for sand-baggers and dike workers. Bingo was her game and she continued well into her 90s. She also enjoyed her casino trips across the border with friend Jean. Mom also was able to return to her birthplace in 1977 and reunited with remaining family members. Her love for her grandchildren and great-grandchildren was always evident. We will miss her more than words can express, but know that she is with God, and at last free from pain. Our love will know no end. Our heartfelt gratitude to all the staff at Riverview Health Centre for their considerate and compassionate care; she became very fond of all of you, and all of the staff at Grace Hospice, where she was again treated with care and tenderness. Viewing, with prayers, will be on Friday, March 18 at 7:00 p.m. at Desjardins Funeral Chapel, 357 DesMeurons St. The funeral service will be held on Saturday, March 19 at 11:00 a.m. at Sts.

As the end of her journey approached here on earth Mama was much looking towards her eternal life with her Saviour. As she took her last breath she was calm and peaceful as though she had experienced something truly exciting and extraordinary. We know she is in the arms of Jesus forever. Mama, when Papa died we know part of you died with him. It was so obvious to all of us, how much you missed him but now you will be reunited with that wonderful guy you were married to for 52 years. He will make you laugh again. See you later Mama Love your Family Memorial service will be held at 11:00 a.m. on Saturday, February 05, 2005, in the Ste. Anne Roman Catholic Church.
