MOTHER You can only have one mother, loving, kind and true. No other friend in all the world will be so true to you. For all her loving kindness, she asked for nothing in return. If all the world deserted us, to our mother we could turn. For those of us who have a mother, treasure her with care, for you will never know her value, till you see that she's not there. To hear her voice, to see her smile, to sit and talk with her awhile, to be together in the same old way, would be our dearest wish today.

Stanley Shumilak
August 01, 2001
STANLEY SHUMILAK On Monday, July 30, 2001 at the East Gate Lodge in Beausejour, MB, Stanley passed away at the age of 94 years. Uncle Stanley was born at home on a farm in Ladywood, MB.

He was predeceased by his brothers, Bernard, Jack, Frank and Michael in infancy; and a sister Mary. He leaves to cherish his memory brothers, Anton and Edward; and a sister Helen. Stanley helped build Hwy. #44 by Beausejour using horses, scraper and also helped shingle the grain elevator in Beausejour as well as his farming. During his younger years he worked as a logger with his team of Belgian horses he drove in BC. He also worked his way across western Canada "riding the rails" and working as a harvester and treecutter. He loved to tell stories of all of his adventures and was always quick with a smile or compliment. He loved the outdoors and was an avid fisherman, hunter and trapper during the depression years. Although he never married, he was like a father to his niece Noreen and a grandfather figure to her daughter Leyan and son Dayne. Stanley was a wise council to the family, slow to anger and quick to forgive. He was wonderful to his mother Katharyn whom he cared for after she had numerous strokes and later suffered from dementia until her passing. His patience was never lost and he was a devoted as any son could be. In his later years in residence at the East Gate Lodge he was always eager to participate in activities. He loved to sing, played games and enjoyed church, singing hymns. He knew dozens of jokes and had a quick wit. Prayers will be said on Thursday, August 2 at 7:00 p.m. from Russell Funeral Homes, Beausejour. Funeral liturgy will be celebrated on Friday, August 3 at 10:00 a.m. from the St. Mary's Roman Catholic Church, Beausejour with Fr. Owen Steeves officiating. Interment will be in the St. Mary's Parish cemetery. If friends so desire, memorial donations in Stanley's memory may be made to the East Gate Lodge, Beausejour, MB or the Canadian Cancer Society, 193 Sherbrook St., Winnipeg, MB.
