Obituary for Barbara Renaud
BARBARA FRANCES (RENAUD) HALYK
Surrounded by the love of her children our Mom and Nanna passed peacefully at the Arborg Personal Care Home on July 5, 2021.
Mom was born in Riverton Manitoba on June 19, 1935 to John Rundle and Lauga Renaud. She was raised in Riverton where she met Harry Halyk. They moved to Lynn Lake and later Leaf Rapids before retiring back to Riverton in 1984, where they took great pride in caring for their home and garden and all their beautiful flowers
Mom was most content when she was with her children and grandchildren. As a close-knit family there were many impromptu gatherings where we enjoyed her excellent home cooked meals.
Mom was a hardworking woman and a dedicated volunteer who was quick to offer her help to all people in their time of need. Mom worked at various jobs and met a lot of people over the years. She quickly went from acquaintance to lifelong friend. Her compassionate ways opened the door, but her quick wit and her sense of humor was what bound her friends to her for a lifetime. Thoughts of her will forever bring a chuckle in the minds of everyone who knew her. (HEY NORMAN!)
She was predeceased by her parents, her spouse Harry and was the last surviving sibling of twelve.
She is survived by her sister-in-law Sylvia Renaud, and her cousin and lifelong friend Margaret Wishnowski.
She leaves to cherish her memory her children Shelly (Irvin), Maureen (Gerry), Douglas (Kiko), Wanda (Chris), Barry (Cathy), Leanne, Larry (Ally) as well as her 16 grandchildren and 11 great-grandchildren. She will also be remembered by her nieces and nephews and many cousins and friends.
Thank you to friends who have offered condolences and shared their memories. It has been heartwarming to hear of the smile she has left on the hearts of many.
"She was there for our first breath and we were there for her last” We will love you forever Momma.
Thank you to the Nurses and Health Care Aides who were kind to Mom and our sister Shelly who has always been there for our Mom.
There will be a celebration of life at a later date.
Donations can be made to the Riverton Hnausa Lutheran Church.
To one who bears the sweetest name,
And adds a luster to the same,
who shares my joy,
who cheers when sad,
the greatest friend I’ve ever had,
long life to her for there’s no other,
to take the place of my dear mother.
