Our dear Juliana was called home to her heavenly Father on March 5, 2021 at the age of 97, to be reunited with the love of her life Noël. She will be remembered by her daughters Franciska (Zlata, Myke, Katy), Silva (Bruno, Bogolau), stepdaughter Aline (Don, Jean-Louis), devoted stepson Marcel (Carole, André), goddaughter Anita Cic, and numerous nieces and nephews.
Juliana arrived in Canada over 65 years ago from Maribor, Slovenia, learned English on the job, and worked very hard to make a comfortable life for herself and her family. She met and married Noël in 1979 and together this beautiful couple enjoyed travelling throughout Canada, the U.S., Mexico and Europe, gardening, making and sharing wonderful meals with family and friends, Juliana’s signature strudel that she would make for the Folklorama Slovenian Pavilion, and partaking in a glass of wine. She was a fun-loving, warm, generous and faith-filled woman.
Thank you to the dedicated staff, spiritual care team and volunteers at Riverview Health Centre where Juliana called home for six years, and her wonderful companion Cindy.
In lieu of flowers, a donation may be to the Alzheimer/Dementia Society of Manitoba or a charity of your choosing in memory of Juliana.
Whether you knew her for years or someone she just met, Juliana would greet everyone with a warm smile, hugs and kisses, and that is her legacy - our Miss Congeniality.
