Stella Mary (Charney) Salamanowicz

In Loving Memory of

Stella Mary (Charney) Salamanowicz

1946 – 2016

In loving memory of Stella Mary (Charney) Salamanowicz, who passed away on Sunday, September 18, 2016 at the Roblin District Health Centre in Roblin, Manitoba.

Stella was born on November 1, 1946 in Horod, Manitoba.  She was the second child born to Peter and Marge (nee Buternowsky) Charney. Her first 3 years of school were in Seech.  The family then moved to Oak River, Manitoba where Stella continued her schooling and graduated from Grade 12.

Stella then went to Dauphin and worked at MTS as a telephone operator. This is where she met her husband Paul.

They were married in 1970. Their son Robert was born in 1973. The three of them moved to Roblin, Manitoba in March of 1977, where Stella and Paul continued to reside until her passing.

Stella enjoyed many activities during her lifetime; water-skiing, 4-H, artwork, and many others. Whatever Stella did, she did well. Some people would call her a perfectionist.

Stella was one of Elvis Presley’s biggest fans and if you were ever in her home there was evidence of Elvis everywhere.

Family and friends were very important to her and she was a very proud mom.

Throughout her personal battle she demonstrated great courage and perseverance of unimaginable proportions.

Stella was predeceased by her father, Peter Charney and brother Larry Charney of Shoal Lake, Manitoba.

Stella will be lovingly missed by her husband Paul Salamanowicz of Roblin, her son Robert Salamanowicz of Winnipeg, her mother Marge Charney of Shoal Lake. 

She will also be lovingly remembered by her sisters; Shirley (Wayne) Horne of Strathclair, Manitoba and their children; Kenny Horne, Richard and Angel Horne of Strathclair, Kim Miller of Hamiota, Manitoba, Linda (Jim) Winstone of Calgary, Alberta and their children; Tara and Dave Winstone/Farjado and Dean Winstone of Calgary, Alberta, Nancy (Allan) Meyers of Steinbach, Manitoba and their children; Cory (Leanne) Meyers of Altona, Manitoba and Blair (Sara Meyers) of Steinbach, Terri-Ann Meyers of Lac du Bonnet, Manitoba, Brenda (Ron) Susinski of Shoal Lake and their children; Michael (Shawna) Susinski and Michelle Susinski of Shoal Lake,  and her sister-in-law; Donna Charney and the late Larry Charney of Shoal Lake, and their children; Jason Charney and friend Marsha and Sherry (Kyle Smith) of Shoal Lake, and Lisa Charney of Flemming, Saskatchewan.
