Eileen Mary Wolbeck

(March 30, 1932 - July 27, 2023)

Eileen Mary Wolbeck was born to Lawrence and Agatha Badry on March 30, 1932. She passed away peacefully on July 27, 2023 at the age of 91.

Eileen married Lloyd Wolbeck June 6, 1956. They lived on the Wolbeck family farm where their two children were raised. They would later move into Heisler in 1979. Her love for working with her dad in the Heisler grocery store would follow her down the road many years later, as she again worked in the Heisler General Store which she loved until her pension years. She referred to these years in the store as her hobby. Playing cards and a good bingo evening were her most enjoyable social evenings, leaving any winnings on the counter for Lloyd to see in the morning and chuckle about.

August 2013 would be a move into Daysland Providence place were Eileen continued to enjoy many evenings of playing cards (always the scorekeeper) and bingo. 

Eileens’ faith was very important to her entire life. Eileens memories will be cherished in the hearts of her family and friends and forever missed.

Eileen was predeceased by her husband Lloyd; brothers Stanley and Martin; brothers in-law Raymond Kuefler and Wilfred Volk. Eileen leaves to cherish her children Randy (Janet), and LeeAnne (Dave) Hanrahan; her grandchildren Barret (Angela), Nic (Leah), Steven (Shauna), Kriss (Nicole), Melanie (Ryan), and Kristin (Adam); as well as, fourteen great-grandchildren; sisters Carolyn Kuefler, Darlene (Clifford) Drew; and sisters-in-law Carolyn Volk, Geraldine Badry and Donna Badry.

A Funeral Mass was held at 11:00 a.m., Wednesday, August 9, 2023, at the St. Martin Roman Catholic Church, 313, Manning Ave, Heisler celebrated by Father Danial DSouza.
