Cecilia GERMAINE Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Oct. 7, 2003.
GERMAINE _Cecilia, January 17, 1911 October 5, 2003. In loving memory of our Granny, mom, sister, aunt and friend, Cecilia Catherine Germaine, born to Michael and Regina Kobelsky on the family homestead near Carmel, Saskatchewan. Granny lived an ordinary life in an extraordinary way leaving us a legacy of love and laughter. She loved to play cards, walk, take the bus, dance, listen to old-time music and volunteer at the Friendship Inn Clothing Depot. She knit hundreds of pairs of children's mittens each year and gave them all away. We take pride in her work ethic and the fact that she worked 17 years at St. Ann's Home without taking a single sick day. She was a loving mother and grandmother. We will miss her laugh, her cooking, her generosity and her feisty spirit. Predeceased by her husband, Mike (1978); daughter, Sharon (1948); parents, Michael and Regina; sisters, Magdalena, Regina, Annie, Amalia, Mary, Minnie, Agnes, Frances, Lena and Rose; and brothers, Ben and John. She is survived by her sister, Elizabeth 'Beth' Kobelsky; daughter, Shirley (Ron) Smith of Saskatoon; and son, Ken (Gabrielle) Germaine of Geary, NB. She is also survived by Granny's little darlings, grandchildren, Desiree (Sam) Bergerman, Michelle (Jonathan) Methot, Clifton Smith, Christian Germaine, Daniel Germaine and and Andreas Germaine; as well as numerous nieces and nephews. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be directed to St. Ann's Senior Citizens' Village Corp. Vigil of Prayer will be held on Wednesday, October 8, 2003 at 7:00 p.m. The Funeral Liturgy will be held on Thursday, October 9, 2003 at 10:30 a.m. Both services will be held in the Chapel of St. Ann's Home, 2910 Louise Street, Saskatoon, SK, with Rev.
