      It was described specifically or transcribed by them as "FRANCES ANDREJOWICH (BUKOWSKI), Date of Passing: Dec 18, 2018; Frances passed away, at the age of 92, on December 18, 2018 at Kin Place Personal Care Home in Oakbank where she had been residing for the past one and a half years. Frances was the fi".rst born to parents, John and Mary (nee Chopp) Bukowski of Cooks Creek, Manitoba. Frances was predeceased by her parents, husband Walter, daughter Pat Klos, son Walter, grandson Yuri Andrejowich, granddaughter-in-law Donna McFadyen, brother Eddie Bukowski, and sister Violet Dudeck. She leaves to mourn her loss her children, Ray Andrejowich, (children, Kathy Andrejowich and Jake Groot, Carol Andrejowich and Matt Monasterski and David Andrejowich and Jana Galis); Linda and Carmen McFadyen, (sons, Myles and Vance); Janice and Walter Klassen; son-in-law Wallace Klos, (children, Curtis and Catherine Klos, Dwayne and Serena Klos, Krissy and Jeremy Rennie, Michael and Sharon Klos); daughter-in-law Daniela Andrejowich, (children, Heidi and Albert Ordelheide, Tammy Mock-Andrejowich, Erika Andrejowich, Dustin Andrejowich); daughter-in-law, Janette Andrejowich. Mom also leaves to mourn 15 great-grandchildren, brother and sister-in-law Joe and Eleanor Bukowski, and sister-in-law Shirley Bukowski. Many beloved extended family and friends also mourn Frances' loss. Frances attended Zora School in Cooks Creek until grade 8, after which she worked in a sewing factory in Winnipeg which instilled her great love of sewing throughout her life. At age 18 Frances was smitten when she met a blue-eyed, dimpled, dark curly haired young man by the name of Walter. Walter was instantly in love. It didn't take long before they were married on July 29, 1944. They celebrated 67 years of marriage before Walter passed in 2012. Mom was a true partner on the farm with Dad from the very beginning of their marriage. Once the children were old enough they joined in working alongside Mom and Dad. Some families go to the beach, our family worked on the farm. Life was not all hard work as Mom and Dad loved to have family and friends over for a good old fashioned game of cards or simply to visit and share their love and bounty with all. In later years, Mom and Dad enjoyed many trips to Hawaii. Mom had suffered from medical issues throughout the latter part of her life, the most dramatically being a knee replacement surgery gone badly in 1982 which resulted in her right leg being fused. In a lesser person, that would have slowed them down considerably, but Mom's tenacious spirit prevented that from happening. Mom moved to Kin Place Assisted Living in 2012 after Dad passed away. There she was able to slow down and enjoyed the companionship of people who had been her neighbours from years gone by. Mom's final home was at Oakbank Kin Place Personal Care Home where she found deep contentment in knowing that all her needs were taken care of. She loved all of the staff, expressing her gratitude to them on a daily basis, and they all loved her back. There is not a greater group of caring Angels to be found as there is at Kin Place Personal Care Home. We cannot thank you enough for how wonderfully you cared for our mother. Thank you to everyone who visited or phoned Mom. She truly enjoyed every visit and phone call, it meant a lot to her and to us, her family. Special thanks go to Pat, Fred and Lorne Plante for being the best neighbours possible. You were always available for Mom day and night and it means more than you'll ever know. Special thanks also go to Daniela Andrejowich, for ensuring Mom saw Dad on a regular schedule before Dad's passing and for continuing to see Mom on a regular basis. Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated on Friday, December 28, 2018 at 11:00 a.m. in Cooks Creek at St. Michael's Roman Catholic Church, with viewing one hour prior to the service. Interment will follow in the Church Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to Kin Place Personal Care Home, 689 Pine Drive, Box 28, Oakbank, Manitoba R0E 1J0. Mom and Dad are together again.

Walter will be missed by his beloved wife Frances, life partner for 67 year".s, his children Walter Jr., (friend Simone), Linda McFadyen (Carmen), Raymond (friend Penny), Janice Klassen (Walter), son-in-law Wallace Klos, daughter-in-law Daniela Andrejowich, 14 grand children and 14 great-grandchildren, sister-in-law Saphira Andryjowich. He also leaves to mourn many nieces and nephews. Walter was predeceased by daughter Patricia Klos, parents Wasyl and Pauline, brothers, and sister-in-law Larry (Vicky) and John, sisters and brothers-in-law, Nellie and John Zaluski, Victoria and Mike Grycki, Jean and Fred Prokopanko, Caroline and Peter Haydey. Walter came from Poland as a young child in 1928 where the family settled in Cook's Creek. Mom and Dad were married in 1944 and with the help from his young wife, children, and friends, he cleared the land of trees, rocks, and stumps. He loved the land for its bounty and its animals, which shared the land with him. In 1950 his life was dramatically effected when he suffered a near fatal tractor accident being pinned to the ground and saved by the efforts of passing neighbours; it took two years to recover. In 1977 he was struck by Guillain-Barre syndrome. After his recovery he had to switch from mixed farming to grain farming. He missed the farm animals and all the joy they gave him in life. Walter loved family and friends, when everyone got together for a party, or just a visit. He enjoyed the hard work and in later years traveling with his wife to Hawaii. He also worked at Manitoba Rolling Mills, and at CNR where he made life long friends. His farm life was cut short by a worn out body, but his spirit was always willing. He missed Mom and the farm everyday till the end. The family would like to thank Kin Place staff for their support and for the love they gave him. Special thanks to Pat and Fred, Daniela, and the Andersons for all their help.
