Obituary

Alvina Falk (nee Funk), aged 68, passed away peacefully on Thursday, February 13, 2025 at Bethesda Regional Health Centre, Steinbach, MB., with her family by her side.

Mom is survived by her loving husband, Wilbert of 48 years and daughter Sabrina (Ed) Giesbrecht and son Delvin and her seven grandchildren (Isaiah, Ethan, Luke, Ella, Trinity, Payton and Laynia) and two great-grandchildren (Theo and Luca).

She is survived by her mother Anne and by siblings Larry, Ernie (Anne), Irma (Dwayne), Thelma (Walter) and Kevin (Laurie). Her mother-in-law Frieda and in-laws Phyllis and Tony (Eunice). As well as many treasured nieces and nephews.

She was predeceased by her dad John Funk (May 9, 2008), sister Dianna Barkman (Nov. 5, 2004), brother-in-law Wyatt Goertzen (Feb. 13, 2002), two nephews Luke and Logan (Oct 30, 2007), father-in-law George Falk (Nov. 12, 2020), and brother-in-law Harvey Wiebe (Jan. 12, 2012).

Mom was born to John & Anne Funk on May 6, 1956. She went to school in Lister East and Grunthal later. Mom worked at the St. Malo sewing factory and dietary aide at Bethesda Hospital before she met our Dad.

After marrying our Dad on August 28,1976 they settled in Pansy, MB. Our parents were youth leaders at Pansy Chapel and Mom also volunteered on the church retreat committee. Mom worked for many years in Home Care. Mom started A-I Cleaning Services which is still operating today with partners. Mom also started Let’s Celebrate Rentals with her sister and worked at this for 25 years, then the business was sold.

After moving to Steinbach Mom also set up Pillars banquets at Southland Church for several years. She made it her mission to improve the lives of others, including her children.

Mom was a woman of deep faith and prayer. She was generous with her love, her time, her energy, and her money.

Mom was a great planner. She loved to plan events that would usually include a theme, decorations, food and games. Her planning abilities spilled over into every area of her world really. Her organization skills were remarkable. And the schedules! Wow!

Mom & Dad loved taking vacations and cruising, completing nine cruises before COVID happened. Most of these vacations were done with family or friends.

We want to thank the Southern Health Palliative Care Team and the many health care workers at Bethesda who took care of her. A big thank you to the ladies that spent many nights with Alvina.

“I have fought the good fight; I have finished the race. I have kept the faith.” ~ 2 Timothy 4:7
