Obituary of Lovelean Josephine Malinowski

Lovelean Malinowski of Theodore passed away peacefully on August 14th, 2018 at St. Paul's Lutheran Nursing Home in Melville at the age of 86 years. Lovelean was born on May 1st, 1932 to Joseph and Anne (Daciw) Sebulski at the family farm south of Sheho. Lovelean was the 13th child born out of 15. She was the first of the twins to be born and was 8 minutes older than her twin brother, Emil. She was named Josephine, however in school, she got the nickname Lovelean and this name remained with her during her entire life. Lovelean was united in marriage to Carl Malinowski on October 20th, 1951. They resided on the family farm east of Insinger until Carl's passing in 2004, where she then moved to her home in Theodore. To this union were born four children; Marlene, Louella, Danny and Deron. Mom worked hard alongside Dad on the farm working in the field, growing a large vegetable garden, raising pigs, chickens and cattle in her younger years. Mom instilled in each of us the importance of strong work ethics, family values and traditions. When the grandchildren arrived Mom looked forward to spending time with each of them reading stories, making and cooking perogies, as well as keeping them busy with little jobs. Both Mom and Dad made the farm a special place for the grandkids and they always looked forward to their next visit. Each grandchild has his own special memory of Grandma. She also enjoyed spending time with her close friends Victor, Irene, Alice and Doris visiting and playing cards during the long winter months. Mom also did a bit of travelling. She visited Costa Rica, Las Vegas, North Dakota as well as numerous places in Canada. She made many trips to Saskatoon and Edmonton visiting and shopping. Mom will always be remembered for her wonderful sense of humor and her ability to make those around her laugh often. Her strong will-power and her undying tendency to care and put others before herself made her the special person she was. Lovelean leaves to cherish her memory her daughter Marlene and children Nicholas (Jess), Michael (Shelby) Serediuk and Great Grandchildren Blaine and Cache, daughter Louella and children Candyce (Scott), Kristyn (Braden) Poberznek, son Danny and his children Dylan (Megan), Jannessa (Daniel), Draden & Shaelynn Malinowski, daughter-in-law Marcea, son Deron (Shannon), Angie children Sophia and Khloe.
