JEAN ELIZA MANCHULENKO (published on September 26, 2009)
| JEAN ELIZA MANCHULENKO Peacefully, after a lengthy illness and a courageous battle it is with deep regret that we announce the passing of Jean Manchulenko on Sunday, September 20, 2009, at the St. Boniface Hospital, at the age of 80 years. Jean was born in Morris, Manitoba and lived in Winnipeg at the time of her death. She was the beloved wife of Michael Manchulenko. Remaining to forever cherish Jean's memory is her loving husband of 62 years Michael Manchulenko; daughters, Valerie Harpman and Tori-Lynn Manchulenko and her sons, Gary Manchulenko and his wife Carol and Heath Manchulenko and his wife Angela; grandchildren, Sean, Jennifer, Kirsten, Melanie, Kerri, Jared, Brittany, Amy-Lee, Chad, Abigail and Seth and her great-grandchildren, Zoe and Noel. Jean loved to dance and would attend any and all dances and dance the night away. She was an avid curler in her younger years and when she no longer curled she would watch it and you had better not call her or speak when the Championship was on. She will always be remembered for her love of cooking and was The bestest cooker ever according to her grandson Jared. She loved to look after her family, home and anyone who entered her door and there was always room for one more at her table and in her heart. Jean was gracious, loving, kind, unselfish, full of life and fun and had inner strength few could ever hope to achieve. She touched the life of everyone she came into contact with and we were all better people for having had her in our lives. At Jean's request there will be no formal funeral service held; she will be cremated and her ashes will be scattered by her immediate family. In lieu of flowers you are asked to make a donation in her name to the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Manitoba, 6 Donald Street, Winnipeg, MB R3L OK6.
