It was described specifically or transcribed by them as "JOSEPH ADOLPH DANCHO, Date of Passing: Aug 30, 2007; A loving husband, a dear dad, Joseph Dancho passed away Thursday, August 30, 2007, at the age of 91 years. He was the last surviving child of Andrew and Caroline Dancho. Beside his loving wife Ca".roline of 65 years, he leaves to cherish his memory daughter Beverly Chabani (Ahmed) of France, daughter Kym Dopheide (Robin) of Springfield, Manitoba, brother-in-law and sister-in-law Adolph and Agnes Peltz of Beausejour, Manitoba, nephews and nieces Glen Peltz, Wendy MacLean (Kennedy) of Winnipeg, John Dancho (Joan) of British Columbia as well as other in-laws and numerous nieces and nephews and their spouses, all of whom he loved and respected. Joe grew up on the farm in Sandhill, Manitoba, one mile from his lifelong sweetheart Caroline Peltz. Born of prairie pioneers, he worked the fields alongside his family. In his late teens, his love of music (and fun) led him to form a band that played many a barn dances in the Beausejour area. He was a self-taught musician - mastering the fiddle, banjo, mandolin, and accordion. He thought Bing Crosby's voice was the cat's pajamas and Sinatra was a weak pretender. We always remember dad's fine deep voice when we hear Bingo! Joe eventually passed his love of laughter and music (but NOT the accordion!) to his girls. His sweetheart from a mile away became his wife in 1941 when he entered the Army. Upon his discharge in 1945, Joe's desire to be his own boss led the couple to build a corner store in St. James. Dancho's Groceteria served the neighbourhood until their retirement in 1981. During those years, two daughters were born, but they were far from the only youngsters Joe influenced and watched grow - the store was only a block away from local schools. Many a young lad in the area became a delivery boy for him and would later drop in to visit once launched into their own adult lives. Joe and Caroline eagerly headed into a lengthy retirement together in the Anola area to be closer to family and back to the countryside they so loved. Joe enjoyed a rich and busy time, planting trees, gardening, and walking with his pedometer attached to his belt the many paths he carved out of the surrounding bush in the summer, and on snowshoes in the winter - he was always fit and happiest when he could enjoy the outdoors. When Alzheimer's began to steal Joe's memory, it didn't take away his cheekiness and love of laughter. He delighted the staff of Kin Place in Oakbank, where he resided the last two years of his life. The working women of Kin Place are true angels, and we cannot thank them enough for the love and attention they showered on Joe during his time there. What can you say about a man you've been lucky enough to have in your lives for so long? That he loved his wife and daughters, was always there to fix the things that broke, make things that weren't broke work better, move his girls from place to place, take in and care for their kitties, worry about their lives, and love them unconditionally. He was always there for us - strong, generous and moral. We imagine him now free from the ravages of a cruel disease - in the arms of his loved ones, playing a rousing polka on the squeezebox - yodeling across the fields behind horse and plow (as much as he loved horses, he was very happy yodeling on a tractor too) - laughing at life - the image of a dad we will never forget. Cremation has taken place and a celebration of his life will be held on Saturday, September 8, 2007, at 4:00 p.m. from Russell Funeral Home, Beausejour, Manitoba, with Fr. W. Cwieka officiating. If friends so desire memorial donations in his memory may be made to the Alzheimer's Society of Manitoba or to the animal rescue of your choice. RUSSELL'S of Beausejour, Manitoba are in care of arrangements. Call 1-866-424-6271 toll free or 268-2263. CANADIAN INDEPENDENT since 1941. MISS ME, BUT LET ME GO: When I come to the end of the road And the sun has set for me, I want no rites in gloom filled room Why cry for a soul set free? Miss me a little, but not for too long And not with your head bowed low, Remember the love we once shared Miss me, but let me go. For this is a journey we all must take And each must go alone, It's all part of the Master's plan A step on the road to home. So when you are lonely and sick at heart Go to the friends we know, And bury your sorrow in doing good deeds Miss me, but let me go.

It was described specifically or transcribed by them as "CAROLINE CLARA DANCHO (nee PELTZ) September 22, 1922 - December 5, 2013 Our wonderful mom took her final journey home December 5, 2013 at age 91. She was predeceased by her husband of 65 years, Joseph, in 2007. Missing her deeply are daughters Beve".rly (Ahmed) Chabani of France, Kym (Robin) Dopheide of Springfield, brother Adolph Peltz, sister-in-law Agnes, nephew Glenn, niece Wendy (Kennedy) MacLean of Beausejour, great-niece Colleen (Christian) Preston and John (Joan) Dancho of British Columbia and their children, plus family and friends. Caroline was the youngest of five, born to Agnes and Michael Peltz on the family farm in Brokenhead, Manitoba. As a child of the prairies, she milked cows, churned butter, gathered eggs and gained cooking skills at her mother's side - nourishing family and threshing crews. She walked three miles daily to Cromwell School (and never let us forget it!) She ALSO kept her eye on the dashing Joe Dancho - who lived a mile up the road. Married in 1941, they headed to British Columbia for Joe's army training. Mom was a proud Rosie the Riveter' who toiled with great care. She felt each warplane might one day carry a co-worker's son. At war's end, the couple launched their own business - Dancho's Grocery - an old-fashioned corner store on Brooklyn and Silver in St. James. They worked side by side, six days a week, for almost 40 years - a kind but firm influence on neighbourhood kids and fondly remember by many to this day. As their daughters arrived, mom's venerable work ethic shone...minding the store, sewing, cooking, attending school concerts, horse shows, graduations and house moves - supporting the girls' endeavors with dedication and quiet pride. 1981 brought a well-deserved retirement and return to rural roots. Caroline and Joe shared a passion for nature, gardening and duty to family. Her care and cooking were bestowed on aging relatives and always hungry daughters. After Joe's passing, fiercely independent, she continued to drive, baking in tow, to St. Joseph's church services. She avidly followed the news, held strong political opinions and was always interested in the world around her. Mom never complained, did not believe in "airing dirty laundry", was a calm and steady influence on us - quietly strong and loving. She had a clever, cheeky sense of humour and believed all people were equal - from richest to poorest - her words: Nobody is better or worse than you - we all put our pants on one leg at a time!'. Caroline valued her family, her friends and her freedom. Her neighbours, Patricia and Don McBride, their boys and Dale McGowan helped make it possible for mom to live at home, shadowed by her beloved kitty Sasha, until a month before her passing. Mom returned the favour by watching the kids and supplying Dale with her own hand-picked cranberry jam. We thank them from the bottom of our hearts. Thanks also to the remarkable staff of Health Sciences Centre SICU, Ward D3 and Palliative Care. Your dedication and compassion during Caroline's final days touched us all. And thank you dear family and friends who journeyed with us to the conclusion of Caroline's life on this earth - we were all moved and embraced by pure love. If you've still got your mom - please give her a hug, make amends if you can, give her your time and presence and consider making a donation to the Health Sciences Centre Foundation or the animal rescue of your choice in memory of Caroline. Burial will take place this summer when the birds and bees, trees and flowers mom so loved will be able to attend. Mom - our first Christmas without you will be lonely indeed. Your traditions, your values, your memory, your spirit will live in our hearts forever.
SOBERING FUNERAL CHAPEL & CREMATORIUM in care of arrangements.
