January 18, 1932 – January 10, 2026

Cecilia Hass passed away January 10 2026. She was loved and will be greatly missed by her son Fred (Judi) and daughters Carol (Pete), Terry (Orville), daughter-in-law Joanne and grandchildren Nick (Nina), Ian (Melanie), Lexie and Neil (Reanna) and great-grandchildren Everett and Adeline. She leaves behind family in Kingston, Ontario and Nova Scotia. She was predeceased by her husband Alexander and son Brian.

Widowed at a young age, our mom worked full time as a Registered Nurse on the I.V. team at

HSC while raising four children on her own. She put us before herself every single time. She never ever complained, just soldiered on every day. While she did not have much family in Winnipeg, the Vielhaber family became our cousins and the neighbours became family helping one another.

She volunteered to be the President of the Red River Community Centre in its very early days and delivered Meals on Wheels with Judi. Mom was an active member of the Seven Oaks Wellness Institute attending six days a week until age 89.

She enjoyed her time spent at her trailer at Camp Neustadt playing cards and golfing with her friends. She spent her winter holidays in Florida golfing and enjoying life with her sister Terry and husband Peter.

She really enjoyed her 3.5 years living at River Ridge Retirement Residence where she received great care from the staff and WRHA Home Care. She especially enjoyed the balcony view of the parking lot, watching all the action. She spent her last ten months at Actionmarguerite (St-Joseph) Personal Care Home. We wish to thank the entire staff for the exceptional care she received.

A private family funeral has been held in her honour.

Mom was an amazing woman and we were blessed to have her in our lives.
