Norma Giesbrecht

Obituary

With sadness yet gratitude we, as a family of Norma Giesbrecht, would like to let her friends know that she has passed to the great beyond on August 29, 2017 at the Maplewood Manor in Steinbach, Manitoba. In spite of the tough battle of five years she remained a woman of grace and bravery. How we loved her chuckle.

Our sister lived in Elma, Manitoba most of her life, but was more recently a resident of Steinbach. Though that is where she lived, she served the community of Manitoba for the greater portion of her working career as a Pediatric Intensive Care Nurse at Children’s Hospital, HSC. Here she gave of herself with integrity and diligence.

She served wherever she was; keeping the family happy, advising the local mothers on the care of children, driving across the city to pick up a package for someone back home. She also farmed; and as was typical of her work ethic, her chicken flocks did well under her care.

A service of memories will be held on Thursday, August 31, 2017 at 7:00 p.m. at Birchwood Funeral Chapel, Steinbach, Manitoba.

Funeral service will be held on Friday, September 1, 2017 at 2:00 p.m. at the Whitemouth Mennonite Church.

We as a family would like to express our gratitude especially to the kind caregivers of Maplewood Manor and the volunteers who gave so unselfishly of their time. And thanks to her dear friends who brought joy to her day.
