June 28, 1942 to December 16, 2025
With heavy hearts we announce the passing of Cynthia Marie Krawec (Morash) on December 16, 2025, at the age of 83.
Cynthia leaves behind a grieving faimily and a multitude of friends. She is survived by her husband of 61 years, Nestor; her children, Michael and Nancy Randy) and her grandson Jeff ( Jasmine). She also leaves her sisters, Becky (Walter) and Ann (Richard); her brothers, Tom (Lucy) and Leslie (Alberta) and countless nieces and nephews to mourn her loss. Cynthia was predeceased by her parents, Mary and Leslie; her grandson, Mitchell; her sister, Catherine and her brother, Ed.
Cynthia was born in Lockeport, Nova Scotia and was the eldest of seven siblings. Upon graduation from Lockeport Regional High School, she attended a teachers’ college in Truro, NS and afterwards launched her teaching career in the town of Barrington Passage, NS. It was there that she met her future husband, Nestor while she was out hitchhiking. After a short courtship, Cynthia and Nestor made their way to Winnipeg where they were married on New Year’s Eve of 1963. While she was married, Cynthia lived in several cities/towns in Saskatchewan including Swift Current where her daughter Nancy was born in 1964 and Regina where her son Michael was born in 1965. In 1967, Cynthia and Nestor finally laid roots down in Winnipeg and called it home. Here she embarked on a 33 year teaching career of grades one to three for General Vanier school of the St. Boniface School Division. Upon retirement from teaching, Cynthia then became the President and CEO of a collection agency located in Brandon, Manitoba called Concord Accounts Servicing House.
Cynthia’s grandchildren, Mitchell and Jeffrey were the loves of her life. Nana doted on them day and night, often having them for sleepovers and “sick” days or taking them to the dollar store to find their treasures. In her spare time, Cynthia loved reading, doing word search puzzles, playing Scrabble and Crib, going to Bingo and going to the casino. She was an amazing cook and no one could make ribs like her.
Cynthia was the epitome of a loving wife, mother, grandmother, daughter, sister and aunt. She was a strong and proud lady and we are immensely grateful for the time we had with her. Her memory will evoke laughter, tears and everything in between and she will be deeply missed and forever held in our hearts.
The family wishes to thank the angelic nurses that cared for Cynthia in her final days at Station 4B – St. Boniface General Hospital as well as Rick from Interlake Cremation and Memorial Services for guiding us through this terrible time.
An intimate gathering of family and friends will be held at the Coutu Funeral Home, 680 Archibald St. Winnipeg, on Tuesday, January 6th at 7:00 pm.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Canadian Lung Association or the charity of one’s choice.
Cynthia, we love you and are eternally grateful for the moments we shared. Remember, it’s not “goodbye”, but “see you later.”
