Patricia Yablonski

Peacefully, with her family by her side, Patricia Jean Yablonski (nee Gooley), aged 84 years, passed away on February 9, 2025 at the Gimli Community Health Centre.

She is survived by her children Vicky (Ron), Diana (Roger), and Brian (Tracy); grandchildren Amanda, Michael (Kara), Nicole, Kerstin (Tyler), Alex, Braden, Matthew, Ethan, Jenifer, Landon, and Ryder; great grandchildren Kelly, Kody, and Westyn; daughters-in-law Andrea and Amanda; and sister Ruth.  She is predeceased by her husband Peter (2004); son Robert (2024); son James (2021); grandson Steven (2009); sister Esther (2016); and brother Art (2019).

Pat was a very kind and generous person, always willing to lend a hand.  She always had a funny story to tell about her many adventures and her stories were very grand.  She very much enjoyed laughing, often with tears in her eyes, about the situations she got herself and sometimes her sisters, into.  She was very passionate about doing things in her own way.  She had a bright outlook and very seldom complained about her own struggles.  Even in her last few days, although it was obvious she was in great discomfort, she did not complain.  She was a beautiful person inside and out and maintained her positivity throughout.  She will be dearly missed by her family and everyone who knew her.

Funeral service will be held on Thursday, February 13, 2025 at 11:30 am at St. Michael’s Church, Gimli, MB.

The family would like to extend their sincere thanks to the staff at the Gimli Community Health Centre. 

In lieu of flowers, donations can be made in Patricia’s memory to CancerCare Manitoba Foundation.
