Peacefully in Owen Sound at Chapman House Residential Hospice on Tuesday, December 26, 2023. Born in The Pas, Manitoba on June 20, 1940, Violet Irene Kurschinski (nee McCuaig) of Sauble Beach, was in her 84th year.
Beloved wife for 64 years of Robert “Whitey” Kurschinski of Sauble Beach. Loving mother of Bob Kurschinski (Drina) of Waterloo and Kelly Doucette of Sauble Beach. Cherished grandma of Kellen (Steph), Kara, Kassy and Missy. Dear sister of Larry McCuaig of Ottawa, Brenda Cressman of Elmira, Bonnie Weppler of Waterloo and Ian McCuaig (Brenda) of Point Clark. Sister in law of Ken Kurschinski of Elmwood. Irene will also be missed by her nieces, nephews and friends.
Predeceased by her parents, John and Jean McCuaig, by her brother in law Terry Cressman and by her sister in law Marg Kurschinski. Irene was very much involved with her Sauble Christian Fellowship family.
Irene’s love for people was her gift. She loved everyone. Nothing brought her more joy than to play bridge two or three times a week, getting together with her bible study ‘besties’, walking the beach and spending her evenings watching the sunset with neighbours and friends.
Irene’s family would like to extend a heartfelt thank you for the care and compassion she received from Dr. Kelly Fenn, Dr. Alex Hodgson and Care Partner’s Team 3 and Team 5.
A funeral service to celebrate Irene’s life will be held at Sauble Christian Fellowship Church, 27 Southampton Parkway, Sauble Beach, 519-422-1437, on Saturday, December 30, 2023, at 1:00 p.m., with visitation one hour prior. For those unable to attend in person, the service will be livestreamed through the church website. Interment will take place in Zion Cemetery at a later date.
As expressions of sympathy, memorial donations to Chapman House, Sauble Christian Fellowship Church or Bruce Peninsula Hospitals Foundation – Wiarton Hospital, would be appreciated. Online condolences can be sent to Irene’s family by visiting her memorial at www.woodfuneralhome.ca.
