      MARGARET LOVESA WISHNOWSKI (BJORNSON), BORN: APR 21, 1931, DATE OF PASSING: APR 18, 2022; Margaret Wishnowski, age 90, died peacefully on Monday, April 18, 2022, at the Gimli Community Health Centre, surrounded by her family.
      She will be deeply missed by all who knew her, especially her children, John (Toni), Allan (Donna), Brenda (Drew), Bruce, and Rosanna (Paul). She will be forever cherished by her grandchildren, Brittany (Stephen) and Ali, Hannah and Chelsea, Karli and Katie, and Brent and Blaine. Also left to mourn her passing are her close cousins, Violet Orbanski and Judy Tait, many nieces and nephews, brother-in-law Walter Wishnowski, sisters-in-law, Jean Baziniak and Edna Wishnowski, family members in Iceland, and close friends. Margaret was predeceased by her husband Victor, parents, John and Johanna Bjornson, parents-in-law, Adam and Mary Wishnowski, and sisters, Anna Hook (Jim), Joan Joyal (Dennis) and infant sister Brenda.
      Margaret lived her entire life in Riverton at Lundi on the Icelandic River. She grew up in the house built by her father, near her Amma and Afi, and many cousins. She described her childhood as being "glorious and magical", treasuring her memories of times also spent with her family while her dad was fishing at Barney's Point. She and Victor went on to raise their own family in this house that she loved.
      The family would like to thank Dr. S.V. Patel, her daughter-in-law Donna Wishnowski, and all of the staff at the Gimli Hospital who cared for her with such kindness and compassion.
      Those who wish to donate in Mom's memory, may consider selecting one of the above mentioned organizations, as well as The Bear Clan Patrol or The Salvation Army which were very dear to her heart.
      A funeral service will be held at 12:00 p.m. on Saturday, April 30, 2022 at the Riverton Lutheran Church, followed by a Celebration of Life at 2:00 p.m. at the Riverton Hall.
