- Fran Tomecko Obituary
TOMECKO, Fran (Frances Tilly)
Passed away peacefully on March 18, 2019, in her 79th year with her daughters by her side.
Beloved wife of the late Theodore “Ted” Tomecko. Survived by her loving daughters, Jackie (Murray) Turnbull; Patty (Al) Ewing, grandsons, Ryan and Matthew Ewing, of Ottawa, her sister, Emily (Athen) Gazdewich of Yorkton, Sask., and brothers, Lorne (Irene) Bossy, Adriene (Yvonne) Bossy and Mervin (Lori) Ross, and many nieces and nephews. Predeceased by her parents, Joseph and Josephine Bossy.
Fran was born in Danbury, Sask. on January 1st, 1941. After high school she left the farm for the city. In Regina, she earned a business college diploma. While working with the Department of Social Welfare, she met Ted who was at the RCMP Training Academy. They married on October 17th, 1964, and were posted to Winnipeg, Manitoba. Subsequent postings included Thunder Bay and Ottawa, Ontario. After raising their family, they retired to Kelowna, BC in 1991. There, they were devoted parishioners of St. Charles Garnier Catholic Church. Fran was a dedicated CWL member at the Church and was known for her love of recipes. They enjoyed 25 years of retirement in BC. After Ted passed away in 2015, Fran moved back east to be closer to her daughters. Her faith remained strong and she continued to attend mass with Father Cosmas at the Waterside.
Our family is forever grateful for the support Mom received from the kind staff at the Waterside Retirement Residence and her dedicated care aides, especially Leigh and Kailish who knew her best. Thanks also to the nurses and doctors at the Carleton Place Hospital who cared for Mom and to Dr. Jamieson, her family doctor.
A Catholic funeral mass will be held on Tuesday March 26th at St. Mary’s Catholic Church in Carleton Place at 11 A.M. with reception to follow.
Memorial donations in Fran’s honour may be made to the Carleton Place & District Memorial Hospital.
