Marcia Felix, 99

Marcia Felix, age 99 of Rainycrest Long Term Care, 550 Osborne St., passed away on Friday, July 11, 2008 at LaVerendrye General Hospital in Fort Frances, Ontario.
She was born on May 20, 1909 in Skala, the Ukraine, to the late Michael and Pauline Momotiuk. Marcia came to Canada with her family when she was very young, and the family settled in Winnipeg, Manitoba.

Marcia was a member of St. John’s Anglican Church, the St. John’s Women’s Guild, and also the Royal Canadian Legion Br. 29 Ladies Auxiliary.

Her family was the most important part of her life. “Nana,” as she was lovingly referred to by her family, loved gardening at her home at 127 Fourth St. W. in earlier years. She also loved music and would sing Ukrainian lullabies to her grandchildren. She will be missed dearly by her family and friends alike.
She was predeceased by her husband, Albert Felix; son, Albert Felix Jr.; step-son, Wesley Felix; one brother, Frank Momotiuk; and by three sisters: Nellie Fundytus, Julie Boychuk and Pearl Melnyk.
