MARY YANKE
(nee CULLEN)
May 8, 1928 - August 12, 2020
Peacefully in Winnipeg, at the age of 92 years young.
Mary loved and was much loved by her daughters, Patricia Rabson (John), Corrine Sansome (Dennis) and Susan Harrison (John), her seven grandchildren, Lawrence Rabson, Mia Rabson Simons (Chad), Tracy Webber (Jonathan), Shelley Sansome (Mike Racz), Samantha Sansome (Dave Watson), Michael Rhys Harrison and Alannah Harrison (Ben), and six great-grandchildren, James, Tyler, Liam, Zahra, Owen and Jacob, her brother Larry Cullen (Pat), her best friend and sister-in-law, Joan Cullen, sister-in-law Wilma Cullen and a long list of nieces, nephews, cousins, friends and neighbours.
Mary's heart and generosity loomed large in Manitoba for more than nine decades and her absence leaves a hole in our hearts that will never be filled.
She was predeceased by her husband of more than 50 years, Daniel Yanke, in 1998, and her brothers, David and Frank.
Due to COVID-19, a private family service is planned, with a larger celebration of her life to come later.
