It’s with great sadness that we mourn the loss of our mother, Yvonne Agnes Jeanne Lewandoski (nee Escaravage- born September 7, 1936). She left us on Tuesday, July 16, 2024 at the Assiniboine Centre with family present.
Yvonne was born to Julien Prospere Pierre Escaravage from St. Savinien, France who was born in 1894. Julien married Jeanne Emilienne (nee Goubaux) who was born in Houilles, France in 1895.
Yvonne grew up in Winnipeg, Manitoba and attended St. James Collegiate. Yvonne married Leonard Harold Lewandoski, September 29, 1956 and had four children: Susan Hayward (Floyd children Eric, Laura); Janet Gusdal (Darren children Mitchel, Melissa); Judi Carmichael (Ernie children Olivia, Dylan); Mark Lewandoski (Lucy children James, Austin). Mom was a proud great-grandmother to: Nova, Oliver, Liam, Darren, Ember .
Yvonne was predeceased by: brother Andre Escaravage, brother Pierre Escaravage, sister Marie Roberts, sister Madeleine Escaravage, son-in-law Darren Gusdal.
Yvonne was proud of her accomplishments in life as a mother of 4, foster mother of 8, and having received a Catholic Women’s League award of 40 years.
Mass of Christian Burial will be held St. Augustine of Canterbury Roman Catholic Church, 327-4th Street, Brandon, MB on Monday, July 22, 2024 at 11:00 a.m. with Father John Okosun as celebrant. There will be a lunch to follow. All are welcomed. The internment will be at a later date.
The family would like to express heartfelt thanks to the staff on the Palliative Care ward, the staff at Rotary Villa as well as the Catholic Women’s League. Your kindness and care was appreciated by our parents and family.
We also would like to thank all those who visited, called, or sent flowers and messages to Mom and to our family members.
