Jean Beznoski

October 2, 1923 – March 15, 2024

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the peaceful passing of our dear mother, Jean Beznoski, in the early morning of March 15, 2024, at her residence of Luther Home in the company of her children.

Mom was born October 2, 1923, in the R.M. of Kreuzburg (Komarno area), Manitoba, and left home at the young age of 14 to help out with family finances and to begin her adult journey.

Mom will be lovingly remembered by her three (3) children, Lorraine (Terry), Barry (Philomena), and Shirley (Ken); grandchildren, Ryan, Dustin, Barry Jr. and Robyn; and great grand daughter, Chloe.

Mom was predeceased by her parents, Anthony and Wasylena Prysizney (nee Bereziuk), and by her husband, Walter; brothers, Walter, Bill, and Alex; and sisters, Anne Barbolak and Stella Winzinowich. 

To us she was Mom, but to most every one else she was Jeanie.  She worked in several vocations during her early life in Winnipeg, was a mother and homemaker residing in the town of Lac du Bonnet, and in her latter years of residing in Lac du Bonnet, was an employee of the Surfside Restaurant, a job that she truly loved and a job that loved her back.  She worked at Surfside for a good many years until she retired and moved back to Winnipeg.

Mom was a good mom . . . a wonderful mom.   She loved her life in Lac du Bonnet, she loved socializing with her many friends, she loved her long telephone chats, she loved her garden, she loved berry picking, she loved her home made soups, she loved her flowers, and mom loved her family.

When back in Winnipeg, mom resided in the same residence for 38 years and for the past eight (8) years was a resident of Luther Home.   A warm endearing thank you to the caring staff at Luther Home for looking after mom, and a special thank you for the wonderful Celebration of Life 100 Year Birthday Event this past October, her final birthday.   Any donations in mom’s name may be made to the Alzheimer’s Society of Manitoba.  

A Celebration of Life will be held on Thursday, March 21 at 1:00 p.m. at Sobering Funeral Chapel, 1035 Park Avenue E, Beausejour; interment to follow thereafter in the Lac du Bonnet Cemetery, 280 Smith Road.
