Laura Roberta Funk
1938 - 2022
Peacefully, and unexpectedly on November 8, 2022, at the Misericordia Hospital, Laura passed away at the age of 83 years.
Mom was predeceased by her son Kevin. She is survived by her daughter Kelly (Larry), grandchildren; Rhea (Ray), Michelle, Samantha (Jamie), Lance, Karli (Derrick), great-grandchildren; Sharron, Kali, Riley, Reyna and Caleb.
Mom was born on November 19, 1938, in Glenboro, Manitoba. She was the 9th child born of 13 children. At the age of 15 she moved to Winnipeg, where she stayed and planted her roots in the Brookland’s area. With having such a huge family, mom had countless stories she often shared (and who hasn’t heard them).
She loved talking about family especially with her dear friend Mrs. C. Mom had a great passion for reading books, doing daily crossword puzzles from the paper and of course we can’t forget those Blue Jays games (she loved her baseball).
Anyone who knew mom, knew that she was all about family and friends. She looked forward to each Sunday when we all visited her. She had many extra kids and grand kids she called her own, especially Terry and Simone, Jordan and Justin.
And speaking of friends, the family would love to thank Claire, our friend and wonderful part of our family. Thank you, Claire for always being there for mom, and all the things you’ve done for her. They’ve never gone unnoticed. The family would also like to thank Neil Bardal Funeral Centre for making this time easier.
A celebration of Life will be held for family and friends on Saturday November 19, 2022 from 12- 4 pm at The Brooklands Senior Centre.

Mom you will never be forgotten. We all love you and miss you. Till we meet again.
