It is with great sadness to announce the passing of Lillian Felkowsky.
On Feb. 5th, 1930 Lillian Felkowsky was born to Roy & Martha Wensel in Winnipeg Manitoba. Lillian was the third born child, predeceased by her sister Margaret and Evelyn. She is survived by her brother Alex.
After graduating from high school Lillian worked as a bookkeeper for a clothing wholesaler for a number of years until she met Michael Felkowsky. They were married on May 8th, 1954. Although she enjoyed her job very much she had decided to leave her job to have a family. They had 3 children, Wendy-Ann, Lori-Lee (Kevin Harris) and Darryl. She also had 8 grandchildren, Travis, Melissa (Morgan Allen), Tara, Ashlynn (Michael Tiberio), Kristyn, Landon, Rose and Rayne. As well she had 3 great grandchildren Evelyn, Lorenzo and Scarlet. In 1984, when her husband Michael retired they moved to Delta B.C. where they lived for eighteen years. In 2002, they moved to Edmonton, Alberta to be closer to the family.
Upon the passing of her husband Michael in 2011 she tried to live out her remaining life to the fullest. She was a devoted wife and very caring mother who liked to share a lot of quality time with her family. In the earlier years she enjoyed traveling with the family during the summer holidays in the USA. When she reached her golden years she tried to stay active and still liked to get in the occasional holiday trip, especially to places like Hawaii.
Lillian was a person of many gifted talents. She was a great cook and loved to bake. Among the other list of things she enjoyed to do was sewing, Petit Point, Macrame and Paper Tole. To this day we still marvel the Petit Point and Paper Tole pictures that she has left behind.
Lillian had a love for life but unfortunately things had changed for her. In the beginning of 2024 she discovered that her lung cancer which was dormant for 15 years had come back to life. Regardless of her circumstances and her pain, she tried to carry on until her last days. On Aug 5th, 2024 she passed away at the age of 94.
Anyone who had the pleasure to get to know her would agree that she was truly a person who had a beautiful soul. We will all sadly miss her and thank her for the wonderful memories of the times we had with her.
