OBITUARY

Geraldine "Gerry" Joyce Winick

1 March, 1941 – 5 June, 2026
IN THE CARE OF

South Calgary Funeral Centre and Crematorium

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Gerry Winick, who peacefully passed away on June 5, 2026, in Calgary, Alberta, at the age of 85.

Gerry will be lovingly remembered and deeply missed by her sister, Marj Doherty; her three daughters, Dorie (Darrell) Pankratz, Debbie Nordstrom, and Kathy Winick; her seven grandchildren: Keith (Brie) Richardson; Vince Proctor; Chris (Krista) Korner; Amanda (Jamie) McLauchlan; Ryan Nordstrom; Blair (Lauren) Litchfield; and Jody (Chris) Shaheen; and her twelve great-grandchildren, all of whom brought her immense joy and pride.

She will also be fondly remembered by her dear friend and dance partner, George, whose companionship, friendship, and shared love of dancing brought happiness and laughter to her life in recent years.

Gerry was predeceased by her beloved soulmate and husband, Robert Winick; her parents, Roy and Mary; her brothers, Robert and Henry; and her sisters, Jean and Olive.

Gerry had a warm heart, a strong spirit, and a gift for making people feel welcome. She treasured time spent with family and friends, enjoyed life's simple pleasures, and created countless memories that will be cherished by those who knew and loved her. Her laughter, kindness, and loving presence will be deeply missed but forever remembered.

In keeping with Gerry's wishes, there will be no formal funeral service. A celebration of her life will be held at a later date.

In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to the Alzheimer Society of Canada (alzheimer.ca) or Alzheimer Calgary (alzheimercalgary.ca)
