Anne Floyde 

Our beloved mother, grandmother, and great grandmother, Anne Floyde, at the age of 97, passed away peacefully at Ste. Rose General Hospital on April 11, 2022.
Born in Ruda, Poland on February 26, 1925, Anne immigrated with her parents, Karol and Katarzyna Slawinski, brother Pawel and sister Jenny to Canada in 1929, and settled in McCreary, Manitoba. It was here that she met and married her husband of 47 years, Bill Floyde. Anne was a real partner, and together, as a team, they raised their three children, as well as running a successful family farm.  Family has always been so very important to both our parents, and now as we remember our mother with love, and with beautiful and affirming memories, we also celebrate the person she was, the life she lived with grace and goodness, and the living force she has been and will continue to be in our lives.
Anne is lovingly remembered and survived by her children, Ron, Pat (Nelson) and Greg (Myrna).
Also remembering their grandmother with love are her grandchildren, John Floyde (Carla), Dylan Floyde, Jennifer and Sarah, Stefan Doan (Susan), Karyn Boisselle (Kasey), Christopher Doan (Briana), Ryan Floyde (Brittani), Kristin Floyde (Aaron), and her 16 great grandchildren.
She is survived by her siblings, Mary Bosiak, Murray Slawinski (Lynda), Joe Slawinsky (Grace), Mildred Smallwood, Joyce Kennedy and sister in law Rosanne Vielleux-Slawinski, as well as many nieces and nephews.
Anne was predeceased by infant sons, Joseph in 1949 and John Allan in 1960, her husband, Bill in 1995, her parents, Karol and Katarzyna Slawinski, brothers Pawel, Frank, Paul and her sister Jenny.
Anne had a strong faith and was a long time member of the United Church and the U.C.W., giving many hours of support to church activities and suppers. She was also a member of McCreary Heritage Committee and attended meetings regularly. 
Gardening was her passion, and she always had a big vegetable and beautiful flower garden.  Anne was renowned for her fabulous cooking and baking, providing wonderful meals for her family and friends, especially on festive occasions. Anne was famous for her hospitality, everyone was always welcome in the Floyde home and they never left hungry. Her grandchildren were the lucky recipients of her cakes and cookies even including this past Christmas. Anne’s grandchildren and great grandchildren were so very special to her and she was loved by them all. She always recited poems and told them stories she had learned in school, without ever missing a line. 
Anne loved to travel, and together with her family, visited many countries. To return to Ruda, Poland, the country of her birth, was always her wish. Thanks to her brother Joe, it was realized in 1997.
She also went on Caribbean cruises and bus tours with her sisters, Joyce and Jenny. Thank you Joyce.
She hosted many special events at her beautiful gazebo, family reunions, birthday parties, anniversary celebrations, and even a church service.
She loved us all deeply and will always be in our thoughts and our hearts. We will miss you Mom.
We are extremely grateful for the attentive support so kindly given to our Mom and our family by the palliative and home care team, Jenna Zurba, Rhonda Roncin and Tammy Scott. Our family also thanks Dr. Gudmundson and the wonderful staff at Ste. Rose General Hospital.
