Frances Cecilia Orlecky

March 29, 1930 - January 28, 2020

It is with heavy hearts we announce the passing of Frances Orlecky on January 28, 2020 at the age of 89 years.

Frances is lovingly remembered by her children Tonnae Bardell (Sylvia Orlecky), John (Crystal) Orlecky and Linda (Dennis) Kinnee, grandchildren Colin (Holly), Rosemary, Gabriel, Joshua, Evan and Jayden and one great-grandchild, Jonah. She was predeceased by her husband John Orlecky in 2000.

Frances was born the 8th of 9 children on March 29, 1930 in Zielina Góra, Poland. She came to Canada and married her husband in 1963.

Frances was very dedicated and determined in all aspects of her life. She always maintained a positive outlook, was kind, honest and known for her hearty laugh. She loved being outdoors, working in her flower garden, and spending time with her grandchildren.

The family would like to extend their sincere gratitude to Dr. Dave Fields and the staff at Extendicare Eaux Claires, where Frances received excellent care for the last several years of her life. We know she felt your love and compassion.

Those we love remain with us
for love itself lives on,
and cherished memories never fade
because a loved one’s gone.
Those we love can never
be more than a thought apart,
for as long as there is memory,
they’ll live on in the heart.
