Obituary for Genowefa Sofia Catrysse
Peacefully, Gene died at the age of 90 years.
She leaves her 3 daughters, Levica Feys, June Catrysse, Christine Tronrud(Mark), 10 grandchildren and 14 great-grandchildren. She is predeceased by her husband of 71 years, Andy and son-in-law, Walter Feys in 2016, and daughter Andrea Klochko in 2008.
Gene was born and raised in Juzwin, Poland. She was the oldest of 6 children so therefore, she only went to grade 3 because she had to stay home to help with the younger children. During World War II, she was removed from her home at the age of 16 and was taken to Germany to work on a farm where she met Andy. After the war, she married Andy in Germany on May 1, 1945. They immigrated to Canada in 1951 to pursue their desire to farm.
In 1952, they entered into a farming partnership with Frank & Christine van Kemenade in Stonewall. In 1964, they split up the dairy, and Gene and Andy moved to Teulon where they dairy farmed until 1984, and selling the farm to her son-in-law Mark.
Gene was a very hard worker and milked a lot of cows. She enjoyed sewing and knitting and was a fantastic cook. She took pride in a clean home and a big garden. She loved to entertain guests and always had time to visit family and friends. In her mid 70's she was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease which didn't really slow her down until the last 5 years.
A Funeral Service will be held on Thursday, November 2, 2017 at 10:30 am at St. John Vianney Church in Teulon. Lunch will follow at the Anglican Church Hall in Teulon, with interment to follow at the Windsor Cemetery. Father Barry Schoonbaert presiding.
In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to St. John Vianney Church or Lillian Baron Breast Cancer Support Group.
