      It is described as "id-325114".

      It was described specifically or transcribed by them as "JOANNE HUZEL, Born: Dec 18, 1942, Date of Passing: Jul 17, 2024; Joanne passed away peacefully at Holy Family Home with family by her side on July 17, 2024 at the age of 81.".

      She was predeceased by her husband Lawrence in 2022. She is lovingly remembered by her children, Leanne (Steve), Lisa (Kyle), Leah (Mike), and Jeff (Jeri), grandchildren Amy, Ben, and Riley, sisters, Mary Lou (Andy) and Patricia (Brian), brother-in-law Ken (Maureen), sister-in-law Rozina (Mark), numerous nieces, nephews, extended family members and special friends.

      Joanne was born in Winnipeg to Josephine and Louis Ozohan. She grew up in Winnipeg’s North End and graduated from Sisler High School. She met her future husband Lawrence at a wedding in 1960, and they were married on August 11, 1962. They raised their family in St. James before moving to Tuxedo, where they resided into retirement. Despite the kids’ busy schedules, she found time for volunteering (Girl Guides, Parent Council), gardening, ceramics, knitting and curling. Summers were spent at the family cottage at Falcon Lake, where Joanne enjoyed cooking and entertaining family and friends.

      Joanne’s first job was at Deer Lodge Hospital. After her children were in school she worked at the Grace Hospital until she got a job as an Educational Assistant in the St. James-Assiniboia school division. She spent the majority of her time working in the CLASS program at Sturgeon Creek Collegiate where she used her compassion to encourage students with behavioural challenges through their high school years. In retirement she continued to share her skills as a substitute EA working with students with disabilities. For her dedication she was recognized with an award from the Council for Exceptional Children. Many life long friends were made over these years.

      Joanne was immensely proud of her Ukrainian heritage. The family attended St Basil's Church, where she was involved with many parish activities including Ukrainian dancing, teas and fundraising dinners. She was a long time board member of St. Nicholas Mutual. In 1983, Joanne joined Holy Family Home Ladies Auxiliary and began many years of service. After a lengthy tenure on the Advisory Board, she was made an honourary life member in 2003.

      Retirement provided more time for perfecting recipes, entertaining and travelling. Joanne and Lawrence visited many places in North America and Europe. They were able to spend several American Thanksgivings in California with sister Mary Lou and family. Joanne made two memorable trips to Ukraine to connect with her father’s family. Once she became a grandmother, she didn’t hesitate to drop everything to look after Amy, Ben, and Riley, who fondly remember having fun and being spoiled at Baba and Gigi’s house. Baba and Gigi were front and center at numerous recitals, sports events and school ceremonies. Once her health required her moving to Holy Family Home, Joanne continued to enjoy recreational activities, most recently at Paint Nights, where she was once again able to showcase her artistic abilities.

      The family gives heartfelt thanks to all those who visited Joanne over her seven years at Holy Family, the staff of Holy Family, especially her caregivers on St. Mary’s Unit, and the Sister Servants of Mary Immaculate. Special thanks to Drs. Taras and Andrea Babick for their care and compassion.

      A funeral service will be held at 10:30 a.m. on Monday August 12, 2024 at St. Nicholas Ukrainian Catholic Church, 737 Bannerman Avenue, Winnipeg with Rev. Fr. Isidore Dziadyk, OSBM and Fr. Bohdan Lukie, CSsR officiating. Interment will follow at Holy Family Cemetery.

      If desired, donations can be made in Joanne’s memory to Holy Family Home and Lubov SSMI Foundation.

      A contributor has cited material deemed to be pertinent to this story.
      It is described as "id-308746".

      It was described specifically or transcribed by them as "LAWRENCE LEONARD HUZEL, BORN: MAY 31, 1934, DATE OF PASSING: JUN 18, 2022; Lawrence passed away peacefully at Holy Family Home with family by his side on June 18, 2022 at the age of 88.".
      He is lovingly remembered by his wife Joanne, children, Leanne (Steve), Lisa (Kyle), Leah (Mike) and Jeff (Jeri), grandchildren, Amy, Ben, and Riley, sister Rozina (Mark), brother Ken (Maureen), sisters-in-law, Mary Lou (Andy) and Patricia (Brian), and numerous nieces, nephews, and extended family members.
      Lawrence was born in Winnipeg on May 31, 1934 to Michael and Bernice Huzel. He grew up in Hadashville before returning to Winnipeg as a young adult, eventually becoming a diesel mechanic for Mack Trucks (where he worked for 41 years). He met his future wife Joanne at a wedding in 1960, and they were married on August 11th, 1962. They started their life together on Danbury Bay in a home complete with a large vegetable garden, and also became active members of St. Basil's Church. After close to 25 years on Danbury he built his family a new home on Hopwood Drive complete with yet another large vegetable garden, but despite being farther away they still attended St. Basil's regularly.
      Lawrence was a quiet, hard working person who was always willing to lend a hand or come to someone's aid when something needed to be repaired, built, or rebuilt. When you saw him coming up the street in his white pickup truck (often accompanied by Hershey, the family's Chocolate Labrador Retriever), you knew things were going to be done right. He even managed to parlay his "fix-it" skills into a small side business as "The Hopwood Handyman" where no job was too small. When it was time to relax, one of his favourite places was the family cottage at Falcon Lake. He spent as much time there as possible, often scouring the South Whiteshell for mushrooms and blueberries for family and friends to enjoy.
      Despite all of his other commitments, Lawrence still managed to find time to travel - be it visiting family and friends or simply seeing other parts of the world. In retirement it became an annual tradition for him and Joanne to head to Los Angeles to share in American Thanksgiving celebrations with the Camacho family. He enjoyed spending time with his family, particularly his three grandchildren whom he treasured. They always put a smile on Gigi's face.
      The family would like to thank the staff of Holy Family Home, especially the staff on the St. Mary's unit where he lived for the past three years alongside his beloved Joanne, and the Sisters Servants of Mary Immaculate. Special thanks are also extended to Drs. Taras and Andrea Babick for their care and compassion.
      A funeral service will be held at 11:30 a.m. on Monday, June 27, 2022 at St. Nicholas Ukrainian Catholic Church, 737 Bannerman Avenue, Winnipeg MB with Father Isidore Dziadyk officiating. Internment will follow at Holy Family Cemetary.
      In lieu of flowers, donations can be made in Lawrence's memory to Holy Family Home c/o the Lubov SSMI Foundation.
