March 24, 1951 – July 17, 2024
With heavy hearts, we announce the passing of Garry Rogoski, aged 73, at Deer Lodge Centre on July 17, 2024, with his beloved wife Evelyn and his son Brian and daughter Tammy by his side.
Garry bravely fought vascular dementia for the last three years, a horrible and devastating disease with no cure that had a tremendous impact on his family and friends. His courage and strength during this difficult time was truly remarkable.
He was a devoted husband, loving father, son, brother, uncle and cherished friend, with his wife at his side and surrounded by family and friends throughout his final journey.
Garry was born March 24, 1951 in Gimli, Manitoba and is predeceased by his mother Anne Rogoski (nee Tomko) and father Charles Rogoski.
Those left to cherish his memory is his loving wife Evelyn of 54 years; their children, son Brian (Ann-Marie Bell) and daughter Tammy Paterson (Andrew), and two grandchildren, Kayleigh and Sydney.
He will be greatly missed and fondly remembered by his brothers Ronnie (Arlene Kelor), Grant (Grace), his Auntie Betty-Ann Skaritko, nephews Aaron Kelor (Sasha) Tyler (Payton Miller), niece Brittany, and many extended family, cousins and friends.
Garry was raised in Winnipeg Beach. In 1970, he married the love of his life and started a family. He worked in the family business, Dan’s Transfer, alongside his dad Charlie, Uncle Victor and brother, Ronnie. Known for his strong work ethic and being in great shape Garry was always trusted with the heavier side of the load when on a delivery. After the family business was sold, Garry dedicated over 50 years to the trucking industry working for Bochurka Brothers, Atomic Transport, and Winnipeg Moving & Storage. Garry touched the lives of everyone he worked with, creating lifelong friendships along the way.
While residing in Winnipeg Beach, Garry was dedicated to his community. He served as the president of the curling club and held a position as a school trustee in the Evergreen school division. The family business was involved in the annual Wonderful Winter Weekend (WWW) event, where they always looked forward to preparing their float for the parade. Garry and his wife actively participated in many curling bonspiels over the years always displaying his passion for the sport. Honoring his father Charlie, who served as a Sergeant in World War II, Garry was a proud member of Branch 61 Royal Canadian Legion for 35 years.
As a dedicated school trustee, Garry attended annual conferences at the Winnipeg Inn. To make the most of these occasions, he and his wife were inspired to take ballroom dancing lessons, a reflection of their desire to share special moments with each other, creating cherished memories together.
In 1983, Garry made the move to Winnipeg to further his opportunities and growth in the transportation industry. During that time, he maintained a strong connection to his hometown, always going back on weekends to the lake, affectionately known as “The Shack.” A cherished retreat where he could unwind and enjoy the company of family and friends.
Garry had a deep love for sports, especially curling, and was a dedicated fan of the Winnipeg Jets and Blue Bombers, never missing an opportunity to cheer them on at games. He had a passion for music and loved creating playlists which he joyfully shared with his family and friends, particularly on weekends at the lake. Known for his kindness and generosity, he was always willing to lend a helping hand to friends and neighbors in need, making everyone feel welcome.
Garry will be dearly missed by all who knew him. His legacy of love, compassion, and laughter will continue to inspire us all.
A graveside service will take place at the Holy Rosary Cemetery, Saturday, September 7, 2024 at 11:30 a.m. to be followed by a luncheon at the Winnipeg Beach Legion. Flowers can be sent to the Royal Canadian Legion at Winnipeg Beach on the day of the celebration of life.
Your life was a blessing, your memory a treasure, and loved beyond words. You will never be forgotten. We all love you!

March 25, 1957 – July 2, 2024
It is with great sadness that we announce the sudden passing of our mother, wife, sister, aunt, and dear friend Karin Maria Mazowita. Karin is survived by her husband Glen, daughter Amy, son Adam (Iresha), beloved granddaughter Kjarna, cherished dogs Lucy and Bronson, sister Gaby (Ray), brother Fred (Louise), niece Haley (Braydon), great nephew Ezra, and niece Rebecca (Simon), as well as countless friends and neighbours upon which she left her indelible mark.
A proud North Ender, Karin grew up and spent most of her life on Cathedral Avenue in Winnipeg. She graduated from St. John’s High School in 1975 and obtained her Bachelor of Education degree from the University of Manitoba. In a twist of fate, Karin chose to pursue a career with the City of Winnipeg as opposed to one in teaching. It was through her work for the City that she met her husband of 38 years, Glen Mazowita. Karin and Glen married in 1986, welcomed daughter Amy in 1989, and son Adam in 1991. Karin’s greatest joy was her children and she did everything in her power to give them a wonderful childhood. We remember Karin as the mother who did it all—she enrolled her kids in various activities, volunteered at their schools and extracurricular programs, sewed all their Halloween costumes, organized extravagant birthday parties, and made sure every holiday was magical and memorable.
Karin and Glen both grew up visiting and loving Falcon Lake, Manitoba. Their shared love of the Whiteshell was their guiding light: everything revolved around being at the lake and everything they did was a step towards their goal of retiring at Falcon. They built their first cottage on Falcon’s North Shore in the early 1980s and split their time between Winnipeg and the lake in the years that followed. We have countless memories of Karin in this place: boat rides and water sports; horseback riding and trips to the beach; summer days on the dock and evenings spent by the fire; thunderstorms and board games; yard work and renovation projects. The lake was her dream; the lake was her whole life. She loved nothing more than sharing her piece of Falcon with her loved ones and loved to host family and friends on the weekends.
In 2019, Karin and Glen sold their Winnipeg home and finally made their dream of living at the lake a reality. Karin spent her retirement gardening, caring for the dogs, sewing and crafting, and hosting friends. Her strong work ethic never ceased, and she could often be found building multi-tiered flowerbeds or rearranging rocks along the shoreline. Karin opened her home to everyone and absolutely loved when her children came to stay at the cabin. She was overjoyed by the birth of her granddaughter Kjarna in 2022 and we only wish that they had more time to play and swim at the lake together.
Karin instilled in us a deep appreciation of nature, and an unwavering respect for all living things. She taught us to put the needs of others above our own. She showed us the power of love, resilience, hard work, and empathy. We remember Karin not for the many things she did over the course of her life, but for who she was and will always be to us. We feel her presence in the places she loved most and know she is with us when we look out at the water.
We are forever grateful for the incredible amount of love and support we have received since Karin’s passing. To our wonderful friends and family: we cannot begin to thank you for being here with us during this difficult time. While we appreciate every heartfelt gesture more than we can express, in lieu of additional flowers or gifts we suggest making a donation in Karin’s name to the Winnipeg Humane Society, Manitoba Underdogs Rescue, the Canadian Mental Health Association, or a charitable organization of your choosing.
And finally, to Karin:
We love you. We miss you. We carry you with us.

February 28, 1940 – July 4, 2024
On Thursday, July 4th, we lost the matriarch of our family, Irene Hebert at the age of 84.
Irene was born in Transcona on February 29, 1940. She was a good student and a voracious reader. She met Aime who was working for her dad, and they began dating in the mid-fifties. Their wedding was a lavish affair at St. Boniface Basilica in June 1958. They resided in Transcona, and Windsor Park as a young couple. They raised their boys in Lorette and Ste. Anne and later moved to Selkirk.
She was an entrepreneur throughout her life having owned and operated an eclectic collection of businesses including secretarial placement, a motel/gas bar, income tax prep, family counselling and retail sales. She took great joy in performing as a wedding officiant and great pride in Bonded Health and Mobility.
Mom was committed to every community she lived or worked in. She was involved in Girl Guides and Scouts, the Huntington Indy Go-Kart Challenge, Cancer Walk as well as Selkirk’s Handi-Bus, Food Bank, Team for At-Risk Teens program and Holiday Alley. She also opened her home to international students from India and Thailand.
She was very proud of her Metis heritage so was a huge advocate and supporter of indigenous programs and affairs.
Irene is predeceased by her parents Ed and Mae Nadeau, brothers Eddy, Andy, Fred, nephew Murray, grandson (her luky-luke) Lucas McDonald and her eternal love, husband Aime who we know met her with open arms.
She is survived by sisters Helen Stiller and Alice Groot (Tom), sons Patrick (Cher), Philip (Doreen), Brad, Greg (Wendy) and Terry (Dawn). Irene adored her grandchildren Nick (Diana), Shane (Robyn), Danielle (Caleb), Jasmin, Tamara (Jack), Alexandra, Amelia, Arden and Jesse and was so proud to be great-grandma to Addison, Kennedy, Quinn, Ivy, Peter, Preston, and Percy. Irene also leaves seven nieces, a nephew, their children and grandchildren. Last but nowhere near least, Nicole Cinq-Mars her beloved friend, confidant, side-kick, nurse and cousin who was more like a daughter.
And if that wasn’t enough, her heart had room for honorary children Rob Cox, Alexis Cinq-Mars and Matthew Pringle whom she loved dearly.
Mom was a good friend and in turn, she had many. We could not end this memorial without mentioning the people who were so important to her. Long-time friends Susan McComb, Sigrid & Don Zueff and family, Linda and Jim McIntosh, workers and friends Debbie McCuaig and Phoebe Thomas, and close friends in business and life Brett Mitchell , Larry Patzer and Rick Kotaska.
A memorial service will be held on Thursday, July 18th at 2 pm at the Selkirk Legion, 403 Eveline Street.
