Carol Remmert passed away peacefully on August 13, 2026, at Victoria Hospital.
Carol was the daughter of John & Jean Remmert.
Carol spent the majority of her life in Portage la Prairie before moving to Winnipeg in 2024. She will be remembered for her kind and gentle nature and the lasting impact she had on the people fortunate enough to know her.
Carol found joy in the simple things in life, often happiest when she was outside, feeling the warmth of the sunshine or the gentle breeze. She loved music and especially enjoyed hosting a music therapy group, where she had the opportunity to meet many new friends.
Carol will be deeply missed by her friends, family, and everyone who had the privilege of knowing her. A special thank you goes to all the staff at St. Amant who supported Carol through both the good times and the difficult ones. Their care and compassion meant so much.
Carol’s ashes will be interred at All Saint’s Cemetery.

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Joan Kolbauer at St. Boniface Hospital on Tuesday, July 14 at the age of 83, surrounded by family.
She is survived by her children Laura Lynn (Peter), Jason (Tracey), Kristi, and her precious grandchildren Zoe, Pierce, Ryann, Emma, and Logan. She is also survived by her brothers Lyn and Jack Giles and many nieces and nephews. She was predeceased by her husband Ronald and her parents, John and Elizabeth Giles. Joan will be missed by her many friends whom she loved liked sisters.
Born during World War II, Joan did not meet her father until his return from the war in 1945. After residing in west end Winnipeg, her family moved to Elmwood where two years later, Joan began school at King George V. She was just three years of age when she first met her life-long friend Dorothy. They always joked that they knew each other longer than anybody!
When her family moved to St. Boniface in 1949 Joan attended Marion School until the fall of 1952, when they moved again, this time to Stonewall. The small-town community introduced her to Brownies, Girl Guides and CGIT. She attended Sunday School on a regular basis at the Church of Ascension. In 1960 she graduated from Stonewall Collegiate.
She worked for almost a year at Eaton’s before pursuing a business education at MTI. Her next job was as a stenographer at Hughes Owens from 1962-1964. In August 1964 she began working at Goodyear Tire before and after Laura Lynn was born. She met Ron in 1971 and married in 1973. After welcoming Jason and Kristi, she worked part-time at The Bay, Kildonan Place before returning to work full time at Goodyear once again in 1985. Retirement came in 2002 and she was to learn that she had never been busier.
One of the greatest joys of her life was being a grandmother. She treasured every opportunity to babysit her grandchildren, creating a lifetime of meaningful memories through everyday moments and special outings like going to the park or the children’s museum. They loved when she made their favourite chicken and fries. She took immense pride in watching them grow, celebrating their accomplishments, and being a constant source of encouragement and affection. The time they shared together was precious to her, and the love she gave so freely will remain a lasting part of their lives and her legacy.
During her retirement, Joan devoted countless hours to volunteering. She gave her time to River East Personal Care Home, KidsFest, Sherwood School, and International Hope. She also served as a board member and treasurer of the Manitoba Down Syndrome Society, where she was actively involved in the See Me Beautiful and Baby Love programs. Known affectionately as “Gramma Joan,” she formed many lasting friendships with the children and their families.
As well as volunteering she also loved to spend time playing cards with friends, travelling, baking, gardening and spending quiet evenings watching her favorite true crime shows and British television series.
We wish to express our thanks to the staff in Harmony Court at Riverwood Square and at St. Boniface Hospital who looked after our Mom with great care.
Cremation has taken place. A Service to Celebrate Joan’s life will be held on Tuesday, September 1st, at 7:00 pm at the E.J. Coutu Funeral Chapel 680 Archibald street.
Eveyln was born July 26th 1959 to John and Tena Hrycyniak as the youngest daughter of 4 siblings. She was a bright and loving soul who engaged in sports, had many friends, and was great at academics. A caring, hard working, and devoted daughter grew into an equally caring, hard working, and devoted wife and mother. Her spirit brought incredibly loving energy to every room she was in, cultivating a happy environment. She loved her Ukrainian roots and kept traditions passed from her parents alive through time.
She met Laurent as a beautiful young adult and together they created a beautiful family. Evelyn always loved her family, friends, animals, art, and spending quality time with those she kept close. She was always very intellectual, creative, and organized; keeping life and home in order. Evelyn valued things that lasted physically, emotionally, and familiarly–not believing in materialistic pursuits.
Evelyn was a proud and giving mother who always wanted the best in life for her children. She was always willing to give an ear to listen or advice and wanted to be her children’s best friend. Evelyn loved big and gave wholly, always keeping the bigger picture in mind for the future. She was always planning, ensuring everyone had what they needed and nothing was forgotten. Evelyn encouraged her children to follow their hearts and take part in physical activity, understanding the deep connection between mind, body, and soul.
Throughout the years, birthdays and holidays were met with Evelyn’s loving enthusiasm to not only make her family happy–but to teach values and tradition to her children–to eventually pass to theirs. Christmas and Ukrainian Christmas were blessed with Evelyn’s creative spark. Decorations passed on from her youth would decorate the tree, and through them she would teach the rich history of her heritage.
Evelyn raised two beautiful children grown into their own adulthood, and also loved being a grandmother. She was so excited the day her grandchild was born and was filled with pride to see her son grow into a loving father. Evelyn loved her grandson dearly and passed her nurturing love onto him as her children navigated their independence. Throughout the years she loved her husband and was grateful for all they built together.
On July 26th, 2026 Evelyn passed over to be back with her mother, father, and other loved ones. Completing a life filled with honor, love, virtue, and generosity, Evelyn will be greatly missed. She leaves behind a legacy in her family and in the hearts of all of her loved ones.
Forever in our hearts.

A little more laughter left the world on July 14, 2026, with the unexpected passing of Danny Wasnie at the age of 61.
Born to the late Ralph and Marlene Wasnie (nee Marshall), Danny was the eldest of three children and a beloved brother to Kim (Jamie) and Kelly (Louise). He was a proud and loving uncle to Kenzie, Kady, Dylan, Hailie (Louie), and Louise’s children, who were also an important part of his extended family. Danny was a cherished great-uncle to Kashton, Lily, and Penelope, each of whom brought him great pride and happiness.
Danny also shared a lifelong bond with his cousin Jody (Bruce) and her family. From childhood adventures to countless memories made throughout adulthood, they remained a treasured part of one another’s lives.
He will also be lovingly remembered by his many aunts, uncles, cousins, extended family and countless friends, all of whom were fortunate to share in his life.
Danny was a Red Seal Carpenter who dedicated many years of his career to Concord Projects Ltd. He took immense pride in his work and in the relationships, he built along the way. He believed there was no problem that couldn’t be solved with hard work, patience and the right tools. If someone needed advice, help with a project, or simply another pair of hands, Dan was there without hesitation. Helping others was simply part of who he was.
Although he was proud of his career, his greatest accomplishments could never be measured by the buildings he helped create, but rather by the lives he touched.
Dan embraced life with enthusiasm and made the most of every season. Summer meant time on his Harley with the open road ahead, while winter brought snowmobile trails and fresh adventures. He loved beach days, kayaking, hiking, motorcycle trips, and making memories in Las Vegas. He also enjoyed cheering on his favourite hometown teams, the Winnipeg Blue Bombers and the Winnipeg Jets. Yet no destination or event ever meant more to him than simply being surrounded by the people he loved.
Family was the heart of Dan’s world. He treasured family dinners, holidays, and every opportunity to gather around a table to reminisce, tell stories, and laugh until everyone’s cheeks hurt. He loved cheering on his great-nephew Kashton at sporting events and looked forward to every chance to spend time with his family.
For Kenzie and Kady, some of their most treasured memories began with a phone call from Uncle Danny inviting them on another adventure. There was rarely much planning involved, only an invitation to head out for the day, find a new adventure, and make another memory. Danny never believed an ordinary day had to stay ordinary.
To know Danny was to know laughter. He had a charismatic personality, a quick wit, a contagious smile, and a sense of humour that could brighten even the hardest day. He never missed an opportunity to remind everyone of his self-proclaimed good looks, and he could turn even the simplest gathering into an unforgettable occasion. No event was complete without his stories, playful teasing, and unforgettable one-liners. Time spent with Dan was time well spent.
His love of music was unmistakable. Music was woven into the fabric of his life. More often than not, you could hear Danny before you could see him. Whether it was the music playing from his truck or his own voice enthusiastically singing along, he had a soundtrack for every drive, every road trip, and every adventure. His playlists reflected his appreciation for music of every kind, and every song will forever remind those who loved him of the joy he brought into their lives.
Dan’s passing has left an immeasurable void in the hearts of those who loved him. The world seems quieter without his laughter, his music and his adventurous spirit. Yet his legacy lives on in every story shared, every project completed with the helping hand he inspired, every road travelled, every song played just a little louder, and every family gathering filled with laughter. Those who knew and loved Dan will carry his spirit with them always.
Funeral arrangements will be announced at a later date.
Flowers are gracefully declined. In honor of Dan’s memory, the family invites those who wish to make a donation to the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Manitoba. They would also be deeply grateful, if you would share a favourite photograph and memory of Danny, celebrating the adventures, laughter and moments that made him so special.
Danny’s appreciation for life’s simple pleasures was beautifully captured in one of his favourite lyrics by Tom T. Hall:
*“I love honest open smiles, kisses from a child, tomatoes on the vine, and onions. I love winners when they cry, losers when they try, music when it’s good and life. And I love you too.”*
